We are committed to using the most eco-friendly materials and methods of construction possible. By using latest technological innovations we are able to create a home that is good for both you and the environment.
Sustainable Power
Solar Panels / Solar panels are used to harvest light energy from the sun and generate electricity. Solar energy is one way you can reduce Canada’s, as well as your own, dependancy on non-renewable sources like coal, oil, and nuclear.
Geothermal Heating & Cooling / Temperature under the ground is consistenly close to the average yearly temperature in the region (due to Earth’s thermal inertia). We can run pipes into the ground and circulate a liquid inside them, which will heat your house in the winter and cool it in the summer.
Lower Consumption
High Efficiency Furnaces / High efficiency condensing furnaces can typically deliver heating savings of 20%-35% (see comparison of various furnace efficiencies).
High Insulation Windows, Doors & Walls / Insulation is key to energy efficiency, and a single investment in quality insulation can provide you with continuous environmental and cost benefits in the future.
Health Consciousness
Non-VOC Products / Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are harmful chemicals emitted by paints, glues, building materials and other products used in home constructions and renovations. We offer a Healthy Future package where we minimize the use of toxic and non-natural finishes that are commonly used in most new home construction.
Water-Based Stains / Traditional oil-based wood stains dry slower and leave stronger odours than our water-based alternatives.
Certifications
LEED / Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system developed to recognize and promote eco-friendly buildings. If you would like your home to be LEED certified, please contact us. For more information, visit canadagreenhomeguide.ca.
Environments For Living® / Another great initiative to encourage and help with building greener homes. For more information, visit environmentsforliving.com.
