What is a High Performance Home?

A High Performance Home is one that is designed and built to provide high levels of energy efficiency, indoor comfort, high air quality, timeless beauty, and are meant to last a very long time. High Performance Homes are less expensive to operate, increase quality of life, and reduce environmental impacts associated with the building environment.

 

How much does it cost?

The most important question for many homeowners is the cost.  What will a High Performance Home cost you upfront?

As our provincial building code focuses more on sustainability and energy efficiency for conventionally built homes, the upfront cost to take your home another step further to High Performance is not much more than what you would pay for a standard built home.

On average, the cost to build a High Performance Home will be approximately 3% to 4% more than a conventional home.  Your monthly energy bills bill be substantially less.  You get a better built home that will save you money month after month.
