PASSIVE T H E N E W “ G R E E N ” S TA N D A R D F O R B U I L D I N G I N C A N A DA

BY Julie

Achtermeier

It’s no secret that climate change has become the greatest global challenge facing our future, and while some experts may still be skirting the issue, there is growing acceptance internationally of the effect our carbon footprint is having on the planet. The Government of Canada is committed to doing its part with a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 30% below 2005 levels, by 2030. One of the ways to accomplish this is by reducing energy use.

87880.21.4.014.indd 2 CL_CND_PassiveHousing.indd 1

2019-04-09 PM 2019-03-13 12:53 2:51 PM

According to the International Energy Agency, the global buildings sector is responsible for 30 percent of energy consumption, more than 55 percent of the global electricity demand, and contribute up to 30 percent of annual global greenhouse gas emissions which makes the way developers build homes a critical component to creating a lowcarbon future.

Passive House (Passivhaus) is a highperformance building standard out of Europe that is gaining popularity with Canadian builders, developers and government planners. The methodology, developed in 1991 by Dr. Feist, an Austrian physicist, takes an entirely different approach to “green” construction.

Imagine a home without a furnace or air conditioner. Imagine that same home requiring only 10-20% of the energy used by an average home. A home heated in winter mainly by the sun, body heat, standard electrical appliances and light bulbs, and whose cooling needs in the summer are minimized by its exceptional design and orientation to the shade.

Simple ventilation equipment assists with temperature consistency during all seasons and ensures excellent indoor air quality.

In 2013, Passive House Canada Institute West was founded and then became Passive House Canada in 2016, following the PHIUS (Passive House Institute US) climate specific model for North America.

With its head office in British Columbia, Passive House Canada is a national nonprofit association advocating for the Passive House high-performance building standard across the country. The concept has been recognized internationally as an extremely effective, and proven way to build for energy efficiency, comfort and affordability and is being increasingly adopted in Canada for residential, institutional and commercial buildings Builders and planners must become certified in Passive House to use the model, which operates on the main principals of

87880.21.4.014.indd 3 CL_CND_PassiveHousing.indd 2

proper insulation, no air leakages and no thermal bridges (where heat can travel through walls to escape the building).

Part of this plan includes triple glass pane windows and proper orientation for heating by the sun and cooling by shade as well as active Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV).

Adam Vaughan, Liberal MP and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Families recently spoke about the National Housing Strategy (a 40 billion-dollar, tenyear plan) and where government dollars would be best spent. He used the example of several highly successful housing projects in Vancouver built by Passive House-certified developers and went on to explain the impact it will have on reducing operating costs for future homeowners and renters by cutting energy use significantly.

Bob Walker, owner of Longview Services Inc. (an Ontario company that assists charities to raise funds for renovating and building green), says that after thirty years in the construction and design industries he was initially skeptical about this new and not very well-known Passive House standard. However, he visited a few sites and was convinced. “Of the 40 trillion dollars worth of buildings in Canada, the vast majority of them are inferior performers when it comes to energy efficiency,” Bob explains. “The Passive House way of building is the first holistic and intelligent approach to the process of design and construction that I have seen. I do not doubt that even more of its insights will be incorporated into future building code requirements and that it is the future of building quality structures.”

PRESSURE WASHING OR SANDING? T H E B E S T WAY T O P R E P YO U R D E C K

BY Julie

Achtermeier

A deck should be cleaned and treated every couple of years to protect it from exposure to the weather, and ongoing wear and tear. While some experts vote for pressure washing and others vote for sanding, most agree that a combination of both is typically in order. Consider the condition as well as the type of wood your deck is made from to determine which method to use.

ASSESS THE WOOD’S CONDITION Wood that is splintering or extremely rough should be sanded first to smooth out cracks and damaged areas. Areas showing signs of mould, moss or other vegetation can be treated with a deck cleaner or soap and water, as recommended by The Environmental Working Group. If you do opt for a commercial cleaner, look for a green solution that is non-toxic to surrounding plants and animals. Use a stiff bristled brush working along the natural grain of the wood to loosen debris. Once the debris has been removed, and rough spots sanded, use a pressure washer to rinse.

Decks that are in good condition except for a bit of fading can be pressure washed first, followed with a light sanding, once the wood has completely dried, to remove any raised grain caused by the washer. Experts recommend using the “fan” setting and keep the wand moving so as not to damage the wood grain or create ripples on the surface of your deck.

CONSIDER THE TYPE OF WOOD A popular wood used for decks is cedar, which is very soft. When sanding or pressure washing, tackle the job lightly so as not to create a fuzz on the surface of the cedar. Use a low-pressure setting on the washer and sand carefully with lower grit sandpaper. It is not recommended you pressure wash pressure treated wood as it releases arsenic into the water and will contaminate anything the spray lands on. Sanding a pressure treated deck can also be dangerous as the dust contains arsenic, so it is recommended

87880.21.4.022.indd CL_CND_Decks.indd 32

you use a sander with a vacuum or use a shop vac next to the sander to capture the dust – and don’t forget to wear a mask! Pressure treated wood should not require much sanding so limit the task of removing dangerous splinters or rough edges only.

Once your deck is prepped and ready to go, choose a reputable stain and purchase a good quality stain brush. The general rule of thumb is the thicker the stain, the better the protection, according to Mike Holmes, Canadian builder/ contractor and host of several TV series, including Holmes Inspection and Holmes on Homes. Avoid clear coats which offer no protection at all and translucent or semi-transparent stains are thin and require more frequent reapplications. If it’s a natural look you’re after, use a solid stain or paint on the high traffic areas and a thinner option on railings.

THE #1

MISCONCEPTION ABOUT MORTGAGE FINANCING! written by JASON WOODS

It is a re-occurring but common misconception that you will qualify for a mortgage in the future because you have qualified for a mortgage in the past.

This is not accurate!

Do. Not. Assume. Anything.

Even if your financial situation has remained the same or has improved, securing mortgage financing is more difficult now than it has been in recent years.

The latest changes to mortgage qualification rules imposed by the Federal government have left Canadians qualifying 20-25% less. On top of that, guidelines that lenders would have used in determining your suitability have been replaced with non-negotiable rules and declarations.

As mortgage professionals, we keep up to date with the latest trends going on in the mortgage world by understanding lender products and staying attentive to evolving changes.

From experience, we can tell you that having a plan is crucial to a successful mortgage application. Making assumptions about your qualification or just “winging it” is a recipe for disaster.

Here are a few reasons why a mortgage broker is a must for the first time home-buyer and still the best option for your 2nd, 3rd or 4th home.

1. We have access to over 40 different lenders, not just one 2. We work for you, not for the lender 3. We will guide you through the application process 4. We save you valuable time by shopping for you 5. We pull your credit once — if you go to multiple banks, you will have multiple credit pulls If you are thinking about buying a property, please feel free to contact a Dominion Lending Centres mortgage professional. We can help you devise a fool-proof plan!

SPRING MARKET… Contact us to be pre-approved before home shopping!

We’ve got a mortgage for that! ™
