Energy Efficient Homes with AeroBarrier Alberta
Our Process
Whether you’re a homeowner wanting to renovate your current home or wanting to build a new home, we can work together to reach your energy performance goals.
We’ll walk you through our simple 5-step process that will help you achieve luxurious green living, without the headaches.
Initial Consultation
Let’s talk about your goals.
What does green living mean to you? What are your biggest concerns? What’s on your wish list?
Your goals then become our goals as we begin to build a plan that will meet your needs.
Builder Meeting
Next, it’s time to talk to your builder or contractor. We work hard to ensure that your wishes are accommodated by recommending practical solutions that will allow for the desired design elements while staying on budget. Builders and renovation contractors benefit from this too -- working with us reduces stress, provides peace of mind and ensures the homes they build are code-proof for the next decade, often at the same cost as a regular build.
Energy Simulation
We use cutting edge software to determine how to best approach the build or renovation in order to meet the energy performance targets. This energy simulation software allows us to predict how your house will behave once built, including the energy use, indoor climate and cost estimates!
This is where the magic happens! Our experience and knowledge in building science allows us to use this software effectively and accurately analyze the data so that all products and solutions work together optimally and seamlessly.
Building Permits
The next step is to get all the paperwork together and get the building plans approved.
Construction
And now the fun begins! You get to see the plans come together in your new or renovated home!
We’re present throughout the construction process to troubleshoot the envelope system, perform air leakage tests and perform scheduled check-ins to verify that the final results will match our targets.
