Current projects focus on residential energy efficiency
One of the keys to the high-energy efficiency of the double wall system is an integral air vapour barrier. The independent interior wall, inside the R-32 insulation and the sealed vapour barrier, provides a conduit for all the electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems to all be inside the vapour barrier, with limited protrusions through the vapour barrier. This principle of construction is true throughout the construction of the house – from the insulated concrete foundation, the exterior walls to the ceilings and roof system. It is this integral air vapour barrier and the increased insulation values that create the high level of energy efficiency.
