High Performance
A well-designed building envelope is key to new construction. A building envelope is a physical barrier between the interior and exterior of a home, including walls, roofs, windows, and doors, which work together to regulate temperature, airflow, and energy efficiency.
Efficient Ductwork Design & Seal
Designed to prevent leaky ducts and has undergone thorough air leak testing to meet the Earth Advantage standards. As a result, homeowners can be confident that the system has been rigorously tested and approved to mitigate air loss.
Energy Star Qualified Furnace
Has an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating of 90% or greater, making it about 15% more efficient than a standard furnace.
R-30 Insulated Floors
Provide above code thermal protection helping to reduce energy cost and providing a more comfortable environment.
House Tightening Measures
Engineered to promote comfort by maintaining warm indoor air and preventing cold air from entering. It is achieved by tightly sealing any penetrations, such as those for plumbing, electrical, ducts, gas piping, and other components, to ensure an airtight seal.
Fresh Air Intake Damper
Has been installed in the HVAC system with a fresh air intake has been installed to ensure optimal air quality throughout the new home, particularly when the furnace is in operation.
Solar Water Heater
is heating water by sunlight, using a solar thermal collector.
Hot Water Circulation System
Has been installed as an innovative water-saving solution has been integrated to provide the homeowner with immediate access to hot water at each tap. It is achieved through a superior plumbing layout and design, which includes the installation of a small yet powerful circulation pump at the water heater.
Central Vacuum System
Has been pre-plumbed and primed to accommodate a comprehensive built-in vacuum system for the entire house. The system is designed with an exterior vent to prevent the recirculation of dust, pollen, and other allergens, thereby improving indoor air quality and ensuring a healthy living environment.
Extensive Window Flashing
To reduce water penetration into the walls and prevent potential damage that could compromise the overall performance of the home.
