How Efficient is Your Home?

We tested 3 homes and compared natural gas used over a 6 month period in order to heat these homes in a cold Canadian winter. Of the 3 homes tested, one is an ICF home (Insulated Concrete Forms) that is built with ICF from the basement to the roof. The other home is a new build, conventionally constructed using methods and materials you would see in most homes built today. Concrete foundation, 2x6 frost wall and 2x6 for the rest of the house. The 3rd home is from the 1970's, concrete basement and 2x4 walls. The test is simple, how much did each house use in natural gas over a 6 month period (in the winter)? Take the amount of GJ (gigajoules) used and determine how many GJ used PER cubic foot of heated space for each individual house. And to make sure we were comparing apples to apples, Kody then took the GJ/cu ft and multiplied it so that the graphs and data used were based on if the homes were ALL the exact same size. Now it's easy to see how energy efficient 3 different homes are and how they compare to each other.
