High performance building benefits go beyond economics and the environment, and have been shown to bring positive social impacts too. Many of these benefits are around the health and wellbeing of people who work in green offices or live in green homes.

People who work in well-ventilated offices record a 101 per cent increase in cognitive scores (brain function) - Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health / Syracuse University Center of Excellence / SUNY Upstate Medical School, 2015.

Employees in offices with windows slept an average of 46 minutes more per night - American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2013.

Research suggests that better indoor air quality (low concentrations of CO2 and pollutants, and high ventilation rates) can lead to improvements in performance of up to 8 per cent–Park and Yoon, 2011.

• Water-conserving plumbing systems and fixtures reduce unnecessary consumption.

• A energy recovery ventilator (ERV) provides continuous fresh air, exhausts stale air, and recovers 90% of heat from exhausted air.

• A highly insulated and airtight building envelope, including high-performance windows and doors substantially improves your home’s efficiency.

• Thoughtful design takes into consideration window orientation and natural lot shading to minimize your need for energy assisted cooling.

• All our homes are solar ready, contact us to discuss adding Solar PV, Battery Storage, and Solar Thermal systems to the home.
