The federal housing agency just opened a public database of approved home designs. Supposedly it’s to “cut red tape” and make affordable builds faster. Are they worth the price tag? The cost estimate for Accessory Dwelling Unit 01 in Ontario is 250k for 634 sq. ft.

Yes I've been looking into some of that. Since i have a high efficiency furnace im ineligible for a heat pump as far as im aware. As for the insulation i was hoping to use that support once the basement is repaired as it is completely uninsulated. I did a rough manual j calculation and by far the basement is the biggest loss for heat. Idk how accurate it was as i had to guess the r values of my existing insulation.
