Energy Efficiency

• R-2000 Certified designates that Urbandale homes use on average 50% less energy than a house built to code
  • 2”× 6” exterior wall framing spaced at 24” on center allows for R-22 insulation between the studs. This combined with R-5.6 rigid external insulation attached to oriented strand board (OSB) eliminates thermal bridging and increases structural integrity. Combined exterior wall assembly results in a total value of R-27.6.
  • 8-10” thick poured concrete foundation wall with Urbandale’s Proud Foundation™ insulation system. Exterior insulation keeps the concrete foundation from freezing, reducing the chance of cracks and condensation issues.
  • Exterior foundation wall waterproof membrane promoting dry basements
  • R-8 insulation under slab for warmer basements
  • R-40 insulation in floors above garage
  • Raised heel trusses with R-60 insulation in attic
  • Windows designed for the Arctic climate to keep out the cold and unwanted noise. We use Zone 3 windows (triple or double pane, depending on the application, argon filled with a low-e coating) instead of Ottawa’s Zone 2.
