The chart below compares the expected annual energy costs of the homes proposed to be built at Morling Avenue with a similarly sized home built to the standards of the mid-90's and a similarly sized home built to the minimum standards required by the current building code.  The calculations are based on the proposed design standards described above, energy costs in place at the time of the calculations in 2009 and typical residential energy use patterns.  The calculations were performed by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center.
