strategies
New strategies for building and renovating
homes have been developed by government,
industry, and academic coalitions, working
to improve home performance, without sacrificing
aesthetic goals or increasing building
costs. There is agreement on the elements
of a high performance “system”
that works synergistically to achieve
a wide range of seemingly contradictory
performance goals. The essence of this
strategy is expressed in the axiom, “Build
tight and ventilate right;” in other
words, build well insulated, air-tight
outside walls and provide mechanical ventilation.
It is the expert use of these strategies
that sets BPC apart from the competition.
