Sustainability

A home with a smaller footprint on the earth ensures a sustainable future for you and the next generation.  High Performance Homes are not just healthy for people, they are also healthy for the planet as well.   If you want to take a big step toward keeping our planet healthy and livable, live in the High Performance Home.

LED light fixtures, lower energy appliances, and low flow plumbing fixtures are designed to reduce the amount of the earths resources to operate.

Solar panels take energy from the sun and convert it to clean power for your home.  British Columbia has net metering, which allows homes with solar power to plug into the grid easily and not require the use of storage batteries.  Net metering means you receive a credit for the power you generate, decreasing your electricity bill.

Up to half of the water supplied to a home ends up as waste water.  Rainwater harvesting can be used for sprinkling lawns, irrigation, flushing toilets, and washing cars.  A rainwater harvesting tank is about the size of a small car and can be installed underneath a garage or driveway.
