SEEING THE “GREEN” LIGHT FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE
The new building codes, both the IECC and the IRC, require that at least half of the lighting fixtures in a home be high-efficiency fixtures. Recessed canned lighting must meet air leak standards and be air tight upon installation.
Lighting accounts for about 12% of the energy use in a home so using high-efficient lighting with fluorescent or low energy bulbs can save 5 to 6 % a year on your energy bills.
Most recessed lights, even if they are IC or insulation compatible, are not air sealed. This causes the envelope of the home to be pierced and caused valuable hot and cold air to seep out of the structure in an uncontrolled manner. Air sealing the fixtures maintains the environmental system that is in place in a modern home.
