This old house has 2 x 6 exterior walls with insulation to match. A good 10" of fiberglas in the attic. Low E skylight and patio doors and all windows double glazed.
Recently had the basement playroom (about 480 sq ft) done with the Owens Corning basement wall system - 2.5" semi rigid fiberglas and am currently laying a Bruce hardwood floating floor. Being all electric the only replacement air needed is for the clothes dryer.
The house that I had in Quebec was oil fired forced warm air. I installed two 4" ducts from the outdoors, one fed fresh air to the oil burner the other fed the cold air return with a damper to regulate it. Took 20% off my heating bill
