ENERGYSTAR® WINDOWSTriple Pane, Argon filled, Double Low E “Shield” with insulated spacers creates the most comfortable environment for home owners in Calgary’s cold climate. These high performance windows create a thermal barrier that reduces heat loss through the window, aids in passive solar heating while blocking ultraviolet rays from the sun.

ENERGYSTAR® CEILING FANSDrawing less than the power of a single 100-watt light bulb, ceiling fans save energy & money by demanding less work from your furnace & air conditioning units.

ENERGYSTAR® L.E.D. LIGHTINGSmart technology produces high-quality light that requires 60% less energy to operate. Their extended life reduces the frequency of replacement.

UNDER SLAB INSULATIONRigid, extruded polystyrene increases thermal comfort in the basement, while providing an additional barrier against subsurface soil moisture and radon gas.

MASTIC SEALANT & TAPING OF SUPPLY & RETURN DUCTSPreventing leakage from ductwork allows heated or cooled air to reach its destination quietly and more effectively.

OWEN’S CORNING CODEBORD® EXTERIOR INSULATIONSealing the walls from the attic to the foundation creates an external envelope around the home, providing a insulated rating of R46 and a superior moisture barrier from the outside-in.

R60 ATTIC INSULATIONMattamy’s super insulated ceiling minimizes energy loss throughout the attic area by an additional 30%.

SOLAR PHOTO-VOLTAIC PANELSSolar modules cleanly and quietly convert the sun’s energy to electricity, offsetting the home’s electrical energy consumption with a 100% reliable energy source.

RAIN BARRELSWater gathered & stored from gutters & downspouts can used for landscaping. Outdoor water collection for irrigation eliminates the need to use treated water.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY Reduced consumption from appliances & lighting & mechanical systems

ECO TECHNOLOGYAdvanced materials & equipment from insulation to solar panels to heat pumps

HEALTHY LIVINGNon-polluting or non-emitting materials inside the home

A NET ZERO ENERGY HOME IMPROVES ENERGY EFFICIENCY, HEALTH & HOME COMFORT

AUTOMATIC SENSOR FAUCETSAn infrared sensor detects when hands are placed under a spout. Water is automatically released from the faucet, and shuts off once hands are removed, thus eliminating waste.

HIGH EFFICIENCY HOT WATER HEATERA high efficiency hot water heater significantly reduces the energy load through increased insulation on the unit and high performance heating elements.

COLD CLIMATE AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPSHeat pumps located on the outside of the home use the natural heat storage capacity of air to produce energy efficient heating and cooling for the home. The system transfers even the smallest amounts of energy found in the air to the home’s heating & cooling air delivery.

ENERGYSTAR® PROGRAMMABLETHERMOSTATSA programmable thermostat allows homeowners to eliminate up to 8% of their heating bill, through timed use of temperature settings and ‘smart’ controls according to need & lifestyle.

ENERGYSTAR® APPLIANCESENERGYSTAR appliances identify specific models that meet or exceed premium levels of energy efficiency, ensuring the optimum performance & efficiency over alternative models of household appliances sold in Canada.

DRAINWATER HEAT RECOVERY UNITSDrainwater heat recovery captures heat from shower & drain wastewater and transfers it to incoming city water, reducing the amount of energy required to heat water in the hot water tank.

HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATOR (HRV)The HRV uses the home’s heating & return air ducts to continuously draw fresh, filtered air from outside and preheat it from warm exhaust air from the bathrooms & kitchen.

DUAL FLUSH TOILETSToilets account for 30% of residential indoor water usage. Dual flush units allow users the flexibility of selecting short (4-ltr.) or long (6-ltr.) flushes, resulting in increased water efficiency & reduced overall consumption.

PLUMBING MANIFOLDSThe reduction in the number of fittings and elimination of pipe tees & elbows allows multiple fixtures to be used simultaneously without dramatic pressure or temperature losses. Plastic PEX piping minimizes conductive heat loss.

SEALED SUMP PUMPAn integrated unit is installed below the basement floor eliminating ground water before it can penetrate living spaces.

LOW FLOW AERATORSAmong the single most effective water conservation measures available, an aerator mixes air into the water stream to maintain steady pressure while reducing flow to 1.5-gallons-per-minute.

ENGINEERED FLOOR JOISTSMore effective than conventional lumber, wood fibre joists are engineered for heavier loads and longer spans. Joists can be pre-drilled to accommodate mechanical conduits meaning these systems are tucked into the floor cavity reducing the need for bulkheads.

LOW VOC PAINT, STAINS & PRIMERLow and zero Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) products reduce the amount of VOCs that diminish air quality

BUILT-IN KITCHEN RECYCLING CENTRESystematic recycling can help divert up to 60% of products from landfills. Recycling centres used in conjunction with composters can dramatically reduce the impact of landfills.

ECO CARPET UNDERPADCarpet certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute is formulated & installed to minimize the generation and retention of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

ECO CARPETINGThe Carpet and Rug Institute Indoor Air Quality Carpet Testing Program logo displayed on carpet samples certifies that these products were tested by an independent laboratory and met the criteria for very low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions.

QUARTZ COUNTERTOPSThe second most common mineral-based matter on our planet next to water, quartz is combined with pigments & resins to produce a product that is non-porous, exceedingly durable and more than twice as strong as granite.

DURABLE ASPHALT SHINGLESA 25-year roof system saves homeowners replacement costs and, due to the products longevity, reduces waste going to landfills.

HARDWOODEngineered wood floor products are created from renewable resources – like material from second-generation forests & recycled content – to help preserve old growth forests.

TUBS AND SHOWER BASEManufactured locally – within 500- kms – to minimize shipping resources & energy consumption.

KITCHEN SINKManufactured stone sinks are more durable, easy to clean & maintain, and resistant to heat & scoring. Quarrying & sourcing in Canada reduces the environmental costs of shipping.

INTERIOR & EXTERIOR DOOR HARDWAREPhysical Vapour Disposition (PVD) finish on all door hardware provides a more durable product and eliminates the production of toxic wastes.

INTERIOR DOORSInterior doors are manufactured with a minimum of 15% recycled/recovered content OR from third-party certified sustainably harvested wood.

CASING & TRIMLow formaldehyde fibreboard reduces emitted volatile organic compounds, (VOCs) improving indoor air quality throughout the home.

BLINDSGREENGUARD certified blinds reduce solar gain and eliminate harmful off-gassing while maintaining sightlines.

SHELVINGAll wire shelving is factory coated with low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) materials.

TILE AND GROUTAll ceramic tiles are installed with low VOC adhesives and plasticizer-free grout, to protect indoor health & air quality.
