Determine projected savings from various improvements.

Deep Energy Opportunity Points:

Top Six Weatherization Improvements:

Air sealing Attic insulation Side wall insulation Basement insulation Doors and windows Mechanicals and appliances UPGRADES

Further Efficiency Upgrade Opportunities:

• Below slab insulation in basement• Foundation insulation (in and or outside)• Enclosure improvements (in and or outside)• Better windows and doors• Roofing and attic improvements• Mechanical upgrades– Plumbing, HVAC, and Electric

• Occupant behavior

What’s below that basement slab?

•Naturally occurring radioactive, odorless gas

•Second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.

•Indoor airPLUS specs and EPA website detail radon-resistant construction.

I.A.Q. Management from the ground up. Radon:

Below Slab Insulation and added Control:

Foundation Insulation (interior):

Foundation Insulation (exterior):

Foundation Insulation (finishes):
