Energy Efficient Homes and a Sustainable Community
A Summerfield house is a healthy place to live, it costs less to own, heat, and maintain and it will leave a smaller environmental footprint on your family’s future. Each house comes complete with its own Energuide label and an efficiency rating of 73 or higher. A home with an efficiency rating of 73 is at least 30 - 40% more energy efficient than most homes built before 1995 and upwards of 80% more efficient than a character house built over 50 years ago.
Achieving an energy efficiency rating of 73 is no small accomplishment. The Built Green™ Society of Canada’s checklist includes a rigorous set of criteria and clearly defined standards that include, among others a benchmark for energy efficiency, indoor air quality, durability, ventilation, and building materials.
Built Green Silver Certified Homes
Summerfield homes achieved their Built Green Silver Status by producing homes that operate with optimum air ventilation heating systems powered by high efficiency natural gas forced air heating systems and more. The houses are constructed according to contemporary best practices and built, wherever possible with local, recycled, or low-impact materials. The homes are also finished with energy star windows, energy star appliances and water based low VOC paints not to mention a host of other energy efficient features.
For those who are passionate about living sustainability, you can upgrade your new house to Built Green Gold Status. Learn more about what it mean to be built green at www.builtgreencanada.ca
