Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家装修秘诀

Yesterday we wrote about some of the metrics and measures provided by Natural Resources Canada on the impact with the ecoENERGY Retrofit Program had achieved during its first full昨天，我们写了一些，指标和措施所提供的加拿大自然资源部关于影响与ecoenergy改造计划，取得了在其首个完整 12 months ending March 31, 2008 12个月，截至2008年3月31日 . 。

Today, we would like to dig a little deeper into those numbers and more.今天，我们想挖一点深入，这些数字和更多。 As we do so we will attempt to refrain from subjective opinion and comment.作为我们这样做，我们会尝试避免主观意见和评论。 Rather we will ask the questions we believe need to be both asked and answered by those with more information, knowledge and expertise  in such matters than I.而我们会要求的问题，我们认为，必须双方询问，并回答了那些有更多的信息，知识和专业知识，在这类问题上比一。

So, let’s begin.所以，让我们开始。

• 9,991,450 - Estimated Low-Rise House Build Prior to 2000 in Canada 9991450 -估计低层内务建设在2 000年之前在加拿大
• 102,845 - Number of Initial (or ‘D’) Energy Efficiency Evaluations 102845 -一些初步（或' d ' ）能源效率评价

Remember, the ‘D’ energy efficiency evaluation is the initial or first energy audit.请记住， ' D '类能源效率评价是初次或第一次能源审计。 After a full 12 months, 1% of Canadian home owners have begun their participation.经过充分的12个月， 1 ％ ，加拿大自置居所已开始他们的参与。 Per Natural Resources Canada the goal is to see 140,000 home complete the ‘E’ or second energy audit by the current end of the program of March 31, 2011. ％ ，加拿大自然资源部的目标是看到140000首页完成'电子'或第二次能源审核，由目前的年底的计划， 2011年3月31日。

Is it sufficient that the program is only seeking to have  approximately 1.4% of eligible homes participate to reduce their consumption of non-renewable resources over a 4 year program?是否足够，该计划只寻求有大约1.4 ％ ，符合资格的家园参与，以减轻他们的消费不可再生资源的一个四年计划？ Is this reflective of a sincere and concentrated effort of a Government to help it’s home owners pay for the cost of energy conservation related home improvements?这是反映了真诚和集中的努力，一个政府，以帮助它的家业主支付的成本，节约能源的相关首页改善？

• 59,184 - CO2 Savings (Tons Per Year) 59184 -二氧化碳储蓄（吨每年）

This seems like a lot.这似乎是想了很多。 What portion or percentage is this of the estimated total CO2 tons per year created by all 9,991,450 Canadian homes yearly?哪一部分或百分比，这是对的估计总吨二氧化碳，每年所创造的所有9991450加拿大每年的家园？ I have no idea where to look or who to ask, but I think that would be an important figure to determine if 59,184 CO2 tons per year is really a signficant number.我不知道在哪里找，或谁问，但我认为将是一个重要的数字，以确定是否59184吨二氧化碳，每年实在是一个显着的数目。

• 16.7% - Increase in the EnerGuide rating of homes who have completed the ‘E’ energy efficiency assessment 16.7 ％ -增加，在e nerguide评级家园谁已经完成了'电子'能源效率评估

On average, home owners who who completed the ‘E’ energy efficiency assessment achieved an increase in the EnerGuide rating for their homes from an average score of 60 (from the ‘D’ evaluation) to an average score of 70 (from the ‘E’ evaluation).平均而言，谁置业谁完成了'电子'能源效率评估所取得的增加，在energuide评级为自己的家园，从1的平均分数为60 （从' D '类的评价） ，以平均分数为70 （从'电子'评价） 。 While that is certainly significant, is that sufficient?而这肯定是重要的是，是否足够？ Did you know that, per Natural Resources Canada, the EnerGuide rating for these same homes if all of the energy efficienty assessment report’s recommendations were implemented is 72?你知道，每加拿大自然资源部， energuide评级，这些相同的家园如果所有的能源efficienty评估报告的建议得到执行，是72呢？

Certainly, achieving 70 is pretty close to 72.当然，实现70是相当接近72 。 It would be interesting to know what were the energy conservation / efficiency recommendations that were typically not acted upon which resulted in the difference between the achieved vs the recommended EnerGuide rating.它将有兴趣知道是什么能量守恒/效率的建议，通常不会采取行动，导致在之间的差额，取得与建议energuide评级。

• 24.6% - Reduction in energy consumption (GJ*/house) 24.6 ％ -减少能源消费量（ g j* /内务）

*One GJ is the amount of energy that would be consumed by ten 100-Watt light bulbs lit continuously for 12 days (according to the Energy Efficiency Evaluation report we received on our home from the ‘D’ assessment) *一gj是金额的能源将消耗10 100瓦的灯泡点亮，连续12天（根据能源效率评价报告，我们收到的关于我们的家园从' D '类评估）

The average energy consumption of the houses completing the ‘E’ assessment went from 195 GJ to 147 GJ is very significant.平均能源消耗的房子完成'电子'的评估，从195 gj ，以147 gj ，是很有意义的。 The question to be asked is how efficient are the remaining 147 GJ’s being consumed?这个问题要问的是如何有效率是余下的147 gj的被消耗？

• What are the most common energy conservation related home improvements being performed by the 17,653 homes upon which the ‘E’ (final) assessment was performed?什么是最常见的节约能源有关的首页改善由17653家赖以'电子' （最后）的评估，表现？ Well, during the first 12 months of the ecoENERGY Retrofit program per information received from Natural Resources Canada they can be grouped as  follows:那么，在头12个月的ecoenergy改造计划，每所收到的资料，由加拿大自然资源部，他们可以归纳如下：

• 84% - Draft Proofing 84 ％ -草案校对
• 65% - Space Heating 65 ％ -空间供热
• 25% - Attic 25 ％ -阁楼
• 20% - Basement 20 ％ -地下室
• 13% - Walls 13 ％ -墙
• 1% - Doors and Windows 1 ％ -门窗

Remember, an individual home can undertake more than one type of energy conservation improvement.请记住，个人主页可以进行多于一个型号的节约能源改善。 There would appear to be a possible correlation between the net cost to the home owner and the type of home improvement.将有似乎是一个可能的相关费用净额民政所有者和类型的家居改善。 The higher the net cost to the home owner the lower the frequency if implementation.较高的费用净额家庭拥有较低的频率，如果实施。 For example, an ENERGY STAR related replacement window costs several hundred dollars (and more) vs a tube of caulking used in draft proofing a home costs a few dollars.举例来说，能源之星相关更换窗口成本数百元（及更多）与一管嵌缝草案中所使用的校对家庭成本几块钱。

Should the amount of financial incentive be increased for the higher cost energy conservation improvements?应数额的财政奖励增加为成本较高，节约能源，改善呢？ Or, are ‘draft proofing’ and ’space heating’ the two areas with the greatest amount of energy loss and therefore these percentages reflect the optimal energy conservation home improvements by home owners?或者，是'草案校对'和'空间加热'这两个地区具有最大金额的能量损失，因此，这些百分比反映了优化能源节约主页的改善，自置居所？ We don’t know.我们不知道。

We do invite everyone to comment on these details both those simply with an opinion and those with more knowledge to help put these numbers into perspective.我们邀请大家对这些细节，这些都只是一个意见，并与更多的知识，以帮助把这些数字转化的角度来看。 The more discussion we have the greater awareness to be created about energy efficiency in the home and the ecoENERGY Retrofit program itself. Hopefully, the increase in awareness will cause increased participation in, as they say, the only game in town (to help Canadian home owners pay out of their own pockets for energy conservation home improvements).该进行更多的讨论，我们有更大的意识，以创造约能源效率，在家庭和ecoenergy改造计划本身，希望增加在意识，会导致更多地参与，因为他们说，唯一的游戏在城市（以帮助加拿大首页业主支付出于自己的口袋，为节约能源首页改善） 。
