Ergie
leads way
"Ergie", The Energy Erg,
-a caricature who will suggest
ways en'tergy and money can
be saved, will be introduced
by the Ontario Ministry of
Energy during Energy
Conservation Week, October
31 to November 6.
An erg is a technical term
for aunit of energy, but in this
instance , has been per-
sonalized to bring a light-
hearted reminder to people in
Ontario of the need tcg on -

The Erg will appear on
conservation posters, ban-
ners aria buttons and on a
special place mat that is
being distributed to
restaurant chains. He will
also make screen ap-

. messages such as "Save the
Erg - Please Conserve", or
"Let's Cool It" as he turns.

"We are hoping the Erg will
become a cheerful symbol for
energy conservation
programs in Ontario", said
Energy Minister Dennis R.
Timbrell.
Special
house
built
A house in
Penetanguishene, built in
collaboration between
Ontario Hydro and Viceroy
Homes of Toronto, serves as a
pilot project for whatmight
be called "super insulation".
It was engineered and built
by Viceroy to demonstrate
that super insulation can
become routine in average
houses at no extra cost. It has
been hailed by Hal. K.
Wright,. director of Ontario
Hydro, as "an outstanding
achievement in energy
conservation.
There are three basic in-
novations, all of them major
departures from conventional
building techniques in win-
dow, wall and roof con-
struction.
Every window in the house
istriple sealed with two air
spaces between three panes.
of glass. Tests by the Ontario
Research Foundation show
the heat loss is 40 per cent less
than with conventional double
glazed windows.
The exterior walls of the
house are framed with two by
six "studs as compared to the.
four inches which is the
minimum recomr>lended by
Ontario Hydro.
The -R-factor, or thermal
resistance, is raised from R-
12 to R-20.
Besides, the external
strength of the walls is in-
creased 30 per cent by using
heavier studding, but the cost
is about the• same because.
fewer studs are used.
In tfr'e ceilings, the com-
pany has placed eight inches
of insulation with a factor of
