AN UPDATED TRADITIONAL WITH A VIEW

xtra angles on the hip roof and cedarciad walls of this modified traditional house
Ese with brick facing, which flanks the garage door and backs the entry
rt set off by brick columns and a wroughtiron screen.

‘The major rooms of the house are located for privacy and to overlook a view of the
garden or beyond, if the house is located on a view lot. The livingdining area has wide
windows and the kitchen and master bedroom look over the wood deck or patio that
stretches across the back of the house,

Higher ceilings allow clerestpry windows to brighten the entry hall and study, and a
plant shelf over the entry coat closet softens this area.

Silights over the IMng and dining rooms also lighten these rooms and the natural
light spills over a sixfoot high wall from the dining room into central hall

The U-shaped kitchen, with pantry, and the nook are set off for casual family gather
ings, and have easy access past the utility area to the \

The living room flows into the study through double French doors for extra entertaining
space, or the study could be used as a guest room or third bathroom, The second bath
room has a bay window overlooking the front yard and is adjacent to the hail bathroom.

The master bedroom has large his-and-her closets and a private bathroom with a bay

WATER
HEATING

+ Downsize to instantaneous
water heaters. These space
saving small units can be wall
mounted and heat water for
one use at a time as required
(without a tank), to give a con-
tinuous never-ending stream
of hot water at considerable
ings. These i

heaters are not appropriate for
simultaneous multiple use.

+ If you have an electric water
heater, wrap it in an insulating
jacket designed for this pur-
pose. Insulation kits are avail-
able at hardware stores, and
are quickly and easily strapped
around the outside with tape.

CAUTION: Insulating jack-
ets must not be used on nat-
ural gas, oil or propane
water heaters.

+ Insulate long stretches of hot
water pipes passing through
unheated areas. (Any pipe
within one metre of the tank
should be wrapped.) Special
wrap is available at hardware
and building supplies stores.
Be sure to use heat-resistant
wrap, especially if you have a
natural gas water heater.

+ Add hot to cold rather than
cold to hot when you need
warm water.

+ Fix leaky taps immediately!
A hot water tap, dripping once
every second, wastes a tankful
of water each week. The prob-
lem is usually an inexpensive,
worn-out washer.

Use cold water to rinse

ands and dishes. How many
times have you turned on the
hot water tap, but finished
washing your hands before the
water got hot. All you've done
is fill the pipe with hot water.

¢ Put dishes in the drainer and
pour a bowl of water over
them instead of rinsing them
separately under a tap (this
can use up to 30 gallons of
water per meal).

« Keep a small plastic basin in
the sink for washing vegeta-

bles or, at the least, put a plug
in the sink rather than running
the water,

* Install low-flow: sk ower-
heads and flow reducer
devices on taps.

* Shampoo your hair in a sink
instead of the shower and
you'll save three times as
much hot water.

+ Switch to an electric razor.
Believe it or not, shaving with
an electric razor uses less
energy than it takes to heat the
hot water you would use for a
traditional shave. At the very
least, don't let the hot water
tun. Up to 20 gallons of water
can run down the drain with
those whiskers. Instead, half-
fill the basin.

‘The home is the
third biggest energy
hog in the country,
- after industry and
transportation’
— GREATER VANCOUVER
REGIONAL DISTRICT

LIGHTING

+ Turn off traditional incandes-
cent lights when they're not in
use, no matter how soon you'll
need them again. Incandescent
lights don't suffer loss of life
when switched off; but fre-
quent turning off and on of a
flourescent light may shorten
its life a bit. Still, if any area is
going to be unoccupied for
moré than 15 to 20 minutes,
you'll save ‘niofe energy by
turning the lights off.

Install three-way switches,
which allow you to switch
lights on and off from more
than one location and make it
more convenient to turn lights
off when they are not in use.

+ Replace incandescent bulbs
with compact fluorescent
bulbs, which simulate the cosy
light of an incandescent but
use up to 75% less energy and
can last up to 10 times longer,
according to the manufactur-
ers. They're pricey, so start
with the most-used bulbs in

The Castlegar Sun

your home (replace the
remaining bulbs with tung-
sten-halogen). Most will fit
into your existirig light fix-
tures, Dimmers are possible
now too, but you'll need newer
bulbs with electronic ballasts.

¢ Halogen bulbs are also
energy savers, using half the
energy and lasting two and
a half times longer than
incandescent,

+ Rearrange furniture to take
advantage of natural light
for reading.

* Avoid having too many
lights on one switch.

+ Use fluorescent tubes in
laundry rooms, garages, base-
ments, workshops and other
areas where lights may be left
on for a long time.

+ Install solid-state dimmer
switches to vary light
level, sae energy and
extend bulb life.

+ Use timers and pro-
grammable controls.

+ Install occupancy sensors or
motion detectors. These will
automatically turn off your
lights when you leave a room.

+ Buy lights for closets and

+ Avoid dark wall colours
that absorb light at an alarm-
ing rate

+ Use lower wattages (90 watts
instead of 100, for example).

Don't be fooled by long-life
bulbs; they're actually less
efficient than a standard
incandescent.

+ In fixtures with two or three
bulbs, try removing one. You
probably won't notice the dif-
ference. (Screw in a burned-
out bulb for safety's sake).

+ Keep lamps, fixtures and
bulbs clean. Dirt cuts down
on light levels. Unplug fix-
ture or turn off power
before cleaning.

+ Use reflector bulbs, especial-
ly for task and accent lighting.
