Climate zones of the world
-The air quality is superior due to airtight construction and high a quality HRV
-The building is more durable as the structure is insulated from temperature extremes
-Sunlight is used in part to heat the building
-Added costs of insulation windows etc. can be offset by design changes and savings on HVAC
-Reduced emissions from the building are better for the environment.
-More sustainable building materials are used wherever possible
Benefits
-Insulation amounts are suited to our climate that see 70 degree celsius temperature swings
-Owners save 60- 90% on energy bills that are increasing every year
-Better resale value and will likely be the norm for the building standard in the near future
-Better insulation and windows mean less noise from outside (vehicles and a.c. units)
-Eliminates hot and cold spots inside
