Enhancing Indoor Air Quality: The R-2000 Home Solution

Discover why air quality is crucial for your health and well-being. Poor air quality can lead to health issues, including mold and mildew growth, often exacerbated by inadequate ventilation and harmful chemicals found in traditional home constructions. R-2000 homes are designed for optimal air quality with controlled ventilation systems like Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) that ensure fresh, filtered air circulation. Learn about the advantages of R-2000 homes, including reduced chemical exposure and improved property value, alongside considerations for costs and contractor availability.

  1. R-2000 Housing: A Breath of Fresh Air

  2. Why is Air Quality so Important? • The air quality can be linked to • Your health • Mould and mildew growth • Causes for poor air quality can include • Poor ventilation / circulation • Chemicals released by building materials • Cigarettes and other air pollutants

  3. The R-2000 Solution : Ventilation • In the Average house: • Ventilation is mostly accidental • In an R-2000 home: • Ventilation is strictly controlled • The walls are completely sealed (no drafts) • Air heat is conserved with an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator)

  4. Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) • Carries in fresh filtered air to every room of the house • Circulates the air of the house • Captures the heat of outgoing air and uses it to reheat the house

  5. The R-2000 Solution : Materials • The Average house: • Is built with harmful chemicals • Can have improper combustion ventilation • The R-2000 home: • Uses little or no chemicals in the build process • Doesn’t use rugs • Meets strict combustion venting standards

  6. Advantages / Disadvantages • Pros: • Superior air quality • Few if any chemicals used in construction • Added property value • Cons: • High costs • R-2000 contractors are hard to find http://www.r2000manitoba.com/faqs.shtml
