If you are planning a renovation, large or small, it's the perfect time to consider energy use and whether there are more energy efficient technologies that can be included in your renovation.
Benefits include warmer, more comfortable working spaces; reduced heating expenses from better insulation and decreased air infiltration; addressing structural deficiencies to extend asset lifespan; improved indoor air quality through enhanced ventilation; and warmer interior surfaces that minimize moisture and prevent mold development.
“Key considerations when planning: current insulation levels; air drafts; window and door efficiency; ventilation sufficiency; structural deficiencies; water leaks through various entry points; below-grade air sealing without creating mold risks; moisture problems; heating/cooling/ventilation system efficiency; system adequacy for post-renovation needs; and timing for upgrading to more efficient systems.

Not only can renovating with an energy saving mindset improve indoor air quality, humidity levels, and overall comfort, but will lead to cost savings as energy usage is reduced.
