R-2000 energy standard may become part of building code §pchanges to the Ontario building code in 1995 may require all new t, homes to be built to the super energy-efficient R-2000 standard, says Brian Killins, senior supervisor, new housing, for Ontario Hydro. 'While R-2000 exceeds the current building code requirements, the 1995 building code will bring improved efficiency standards, if not R-2000 itself; says Killins. Ontario Hydro is offering incentives to new home buyers and builders of R-2000 homes in areas not served by natural gas. Qualified buyers get $2,000 and builders $2,000. 'We are encouraging R-2000 housing because we are committed to lowering the demand for electricity 3,000 megawatts by the year 2000; says Kinins. The R-2000 programs was launched about 10 years ago by the energy, mines and resources ministry and the Canadian Home Builders' Association. The "R' stands for 'resistance to heat loss' and the 2000 refers to the year 2000 — the original target date for making the standard part of the building code. The R-2000 standard calls for the home to have high insulation levels, a continuous sealed air vapor barrier and an efficient, effective ventilation system. Because R-2000 homes are so well sealed, they use less energy and can save consumers up to 40 per cent on their heating bills. Not all energy efficient houses qualify as R-2000, even if built to the standard, because to qualify, the home must be built by a builder who is a member of the Ontario new home warranty program and has successfully completed the R-2000 training workshop. Any style of home can be built to the R- 2000 standard, says Killins. But they all have five things in common: high levels of insulation, minimal air leakage, a mechanical ventilation system, efficient heating equipment and passive solar features. He says building in that level of quality costs from $3,000 to $7,000 more than a house built to ordinary building code standards. In addition to energy savings, R-2000 housesprovide consumers with cleaner and quieter losses. 'An R-2000 house is two to five times better sealed than a conventionally built home,' says Killins. "Moat builders use polyethylene as a dual air and vapor barrier. The barrier is well sealed around construction breaks such as electrical boxes.' After an R-2000 house is built, it is tested to verify that the work has been done properly. Because the R-2000 houses are so well sealed, a mechanical ventilation system is necessary to ensure a continuous supply of fresh air. In most cases, no modifications are needed to the usual design and construction techniques to accommodate R-2000 insulation. Exterior wall insulation levels vary from R-20 to R-28. Ceiling insulation and the size of the windows are important, he ranges from RAO to R-60 and basement walls says. Low -E, argon gas filled windows are are R-12 to R-20, says Killins. I becoming more widely used. 'There are some restrictions in the types of space and domestic hot water heating systems that can be used in R-2000 houses. If gas, water or space heating is used, for example, there must be an exterior combustion air source with a back draft prevention mechanism," Killins said. A significant portion of the heating needs of an R-2000 house can come from passive solar gains, so the orientation of the house There are currently about 500 builders m Ontario who are qualified to build R-2000 homes. Many more builders are incorporating some of the ideas from the R- 2000 standard without getting the homes certified, says Killins. But the certification is important to ensure the air sealing has been done properly and the house has been inspected. "It's good assurance for the home buyer," he said. Pickering's finest receive Civic Awards By Dan Mdrean Pickering's fittest citizens were honored Monday night as town council passed out this year's Civic Awards to a host of deserving local volunteers.

A 'Picke, -i Canadian storytellers, authors coming to town The art of storytelling comes to Ajax -Pickering when the Fox and Flowerpot Pub in Pickering Village, Ajax, becomes the new home of the Tales for a Summer's Eve outdoor storytelling concert series. The series, featuring Canadian based authors and storytellers, will begin July 15 at 8 p.m. and continue each Wednesday night to Aug. 19 in the Tudor -styled Courtyard Commercial Complex in Pickering Village. Admission is free. The event is sponsored by the Four Winds Reference Library of Toronto, says Norman Perrin, director. The announcement marks a change in direction for the event. Previously, the series was by invitation only and held in downtown Toronto. "The series promoters always hoped to have the event held outside but had not found a good location. The Courtyard is ideal with limited sound problems and a large contained space, open to the night sky, for the audience," director Perrin said. Mary Krcetsch, partner in the Fox and Flowerpot Pub, said she considered hiring storytellers for some time. When she heard the promoters were looking for a more suitable location she moved quickly with her offer of the Courtyard. 'We are a family pub and think the only way we could host the series was if they were open to the public. The Courtyard is licensed and we hope the sales of food and beverages will help offset the costs of staging the concerts here.' 'We try to bring the best entertainment available to our patrons with no cover charges or minimums. Currently, we are also holding a Jazz concert series on Sunday afternoons in the same Courtyard and it has been very wellreceived,' Krcetsch said. 'he emphasis of the concerts is to bring the performers and audience together in an informal gathering to share mainly adult stories. We encourage the performers to enjoy themselves and choose light stories with interesting twists," said Perrin. Area's oldest church gets facelift grant The oldest church in the Ajax and Pickering area will receive some facelifting help from the provincial government.

'It's a total community we're building here; said company president Bill Daniell. In addition to a proposal for 3,000 affordable homes, the Kaidin Group has teamed up with Markborough Properties in the construction of a major retail component. A proposed 230,000 -sq. -ft. shopping centre will be anchored by a major food and department stores and a Canadian Tire Store. In addition, a smaller convenience plaza, doctors' offices, daycare centre and even a driving range are among the amenities being considered. Regional and municipal government has reserved a site for the provision for a proposed future GO Train station in the area. It all adds up to a further enhancement and extension to Bowmanville's growing downtown core. 'It will be a major draw for this whole area when the time comes,' Daniell said. 'All of these niceties are going to be there for (area residents).' "We honestly feel we're building a community and we're trying to do things the right way.'

Both 30 and 40 -ft. lot homes feature a double -car garage. The surrounding community itself will be a truly wonderful site. "As we develop this whole community we're going to have open corridors for walkways and bicycle paths,' Daniell said. "In fact, our first park will be built this fall with all the new play equipment for a young family." A large 4.5 -acre community park with playground, soccer field and open -space walkway system are being planned. To keep current residents and future homebuyers up to date on the developments in the community and Town of Bowmanville, an aspen Springs newsletter is being published on a regular basis. The premier issue of this 4 -page report contains information about some of the people who live in Aspen Springs, the growth of the project, home decorating ideas and information about the town itself. Most of the people who are moving to Aspen Springs are young families — first- time homebuyers, Daniell said. The hope is that once families move to this unique community, they'll never want to leave. 'Our ideal is to have every resident feel as strongly about the Aspen Springs community as we do," Daniell said. 'We hope first-time buyers will one day become .econd-time buyers right within our community.'

Region Chairman Gary Herrema said if the Hilstone proposal were approved, council would want some assurance local workers would represent the bulk of those employed to construct it.

Oshawa has a very depressed downtown area, Wilson said, explaining there are approximately 45 vacant stores in the downtown sector. "We have a problem and this could be a solution for one of the towns in Durham Region," he told council. "This is some good news and we should capitalize on it." Hilstone Developments will only accept Oshawa as a site for the project and will simply not proceed with construction anywhere else, Wilson said.

Like other products of the masonry family — stone, block We and concrete — brick is made of natural materials that combine beauty with utility and durability. Not only are masonry products like brick permanent, but they are highly resistant to natural deterioration by wind, water, fire, sun and Pests. In fact, most surviving ancient structures are of masonry and the deterioration they show is more man's doing than nature's. Made of various clay mixtures, bricks once were molded by hand. Today, the day is forced through a die, then art to size with wires. After drying, the bricks are fired or 'burned' in a kiln. The result is a very hard, permanent product with many advantages: it never has to be painted; it is virtually self -washing with a good rain or hosing; it ages well and generally requires very little maintenance. Worth cost Although somewhat expensive, clay bricks are well worth their cast. They come in an array of colors, sizes and textures. Colors range from white to black with buffs, tans, browns, yellows and reds. Almost any earth tone can be incorporated and some bricks can even be n mmm-rn"r-A T---- ----- L - - bark -like to vertical scoring. Bricks can also be made of materials other than clay. Concrete brick is made of cement, graded aggregates and water. Its available In many shapes, sizes, textures and colors for practically any Purpose. While less expensive and lighter, it is generally not as colorfast or water resistant as genuine clay brick. So, be sure to check the kind of brick you're getting before buying. Brick choices The wide variety of bricks available break down into four basic types: building brick, face brick, firebrick and paving brick. Building bricks come in a variety of colors and shapes but are Primarily red and rectangular.
