About Detroit
Because of its climate and geographic location, Detroit has heating needs that are estimated to be 8 times greater than its cooling requirements. A home's specific location and condition, in addition to the health and preferences of the residents, will ultimately determine its heating and cooling needs. Generally, when choosing an HVAC professional, seek out an expert in the field who has experience as well as familiarity with the area. There are numerous Better Business Bureau accredited contractors in the tri-county area of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties.
Legal Requirements for Construction
In 2008, the Michigan Uniform Energy Code (MUEC) was adopted by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth to bring the state on par with the energy codes of the rest of the nation as set out by the US Department of Energy. The code lays down specifications regarding insulation, especially of cavities such as attics and basements, which raise the energy efficiency of the structure as a whole. Building plans submitted to the Bureau of Construction Codes for approval now need to be compliant with these new guidelines.
Alternative Energy in Detroit
Detroit, in its allegiance to the automobile, has been slow in embracing alternate energy options; however, in terms of the energy efficiency of buildings, the city has made some strides. Geothermal energy has been embraced as a viable source of power by individuals as well as institutions in their quest to be more sustainable. Housing developments such as Crosswinds Garden Lofts and Brush Park Condominiums are just two of many new developments that utilize geothermal heating and cooling system.
As for commercial ventures, LaFontaine Cadillac in Highland is an enormous 63,000 square feet project that plans to be as green as possible with geothermal heating and cooling, water recycling, and eco-friendly paint and carpeting in its buildings. The plant has hopes of winning an LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for its efforts. The 15,000 square foot Old Fellows Hall in Southwest Detroit received a makeover for the better when it regained its lost glory along with a geothermal heating and cooling system.
State Aid for Upgrading Energy Systems
Low income households are eligible for home heating credit under the LIHEAP program of the US Department of Health and Human Services. This is based on a few criteria such as income of family members, heating costs, and other exemptions availed. Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), under the same auspices, provides assistance in energy conservation and reduction in utility bills by helping maintain optimum standards in weatherproofing measures.
