When it comes to energy efficiency, you don’t want to just lower utility bills.
Our standard when creating homes that support long-term sustainability ensures the houses not only save energy but also feel happier, quieter and better-performing to live in. Our in-house team integrates high-performance systems and materials into every home we build or renovate, from insulation and glazing to geothermal loops.
We tell homeowners all the time, you don’t have to change how you live to be green, your home can do the work and footprint reduction for you. You just have to live in it.
As inspiration, here are five examples of energy-efficient custom homes we’ve built here on Vancouver Island.
Built to exceed Built Green Platinum standards, The Perch includes triple-glazed windows, hybrid insulation systems, and advanced energy recovery ventilation with HEPA-13 air filtration.
Additional renewable energy goals are supported by integrated rainwater harvesting, on-site well water, an 11kW solar system and Tesla Powerwall batteries.
Also Built Green Platinum Certified, Cedars pairs performance and cottage-inspired luxury in one carefully planned package with every element contributing to energy-savings without sacrificing architectural beauty or quiet comfort.
This home features triple-pane windows, premium insulation, automated home systems plus an indoor water collection system that can hold up to 5,000-gallons.
This waterfront custom home was designed to highlight the natural beauty it’s surrounded by while sporting impressive environmental performance.
Confluence includes enhanced insulation, high-efficiency floor to ceiling glazing and modern automation systems, all of which work together to reduce energy use and support long-term livability.
Blending classical aesthetics with cutting-edge performance, Deep Cove is built around a high-performance building envelope system, including exterior rigid insulation and spray foam walls.
Its living features are powered by a geothermal heating system and solar water heater, offering low-impact, cost-saving comfort in every Canadian season.
Designed to feel open and serene, Langford Lake is powered by a lake-source geothermal system that provides year-round available heating with minimal environmental impact, perfect for those chilly falls and winters by the water.
It’s a perfect example of how energy-smart systems can be integrated discreetly, maintaining the focus on architecture, setting and homeowner lifestyle.
