Well I finaly received the results of my blower test on my 2700 sq ft icf bungalow, It received an energuide rating of 86 and had a measurement of 1.16 airchanges per hour
I must say Im pretty pleased as it translates into a 5k rebate

Congrats Peter !
Who is writing you the cheque ?
Prov or Fed ?

Hi Eric and Merry Christmas



The cheque cones from
Efficency Nova Scotia in partnership with Natural Resources Canada , I havent received the money yet but all info Ive found indicates it will be around the 5K mark

Peter

Hi

i'm in Halifax and looking at ICF

Who was your contractor?
Did you find it difficult to find trades that are familiar with icf - electrician, plumber, etc?

Did you price the cost difference between traditional and icf? Was there a difference?
Which ICF block did you use?

Thanks

Jamie

Jamie, I built it myself, pm me with your email and Ill answer any questions you may have
regards
Peter

How does that work?

Who does the testing and what kind of rebate is it?

Lbear, its a rebate fro efficiency nova scotia in conjucnction with the federal government through the inistry of natural resources I believe, you must apply before you begin building. There is a list of features that when included in your home will earn points towards a rebate such as ICF construction, heat pumps, solar augmentation, hot water drain recovery etc. In my case a footing to eave icf with ductless minisplit heat pumps got me an energuide rating of 86 and 5800.00
