Net Zero Ready – Zero vs. Obsolete
Every Watercolour Westport home is architecturally designed, engineered, constructed, tested then certified Net Zero Ready by the Canadian Home Building Association. They are more comfortable, durable and will help protect the environment and your investment.
Net Zero Ready is set to become the building code standard by 2035. Land Ark Homes is building to these standards NOW. Why buy an obsolete home when you can buy the future?
Being Net Zero Ready, homeowners have the option to offset annual energy consumption with the installation of renewable energy systems such as solar panels and/or home battery. Federal grants and interest free loans (CMHC) are now available for homeowners who choose to add renewable energy systems that can reduce operating costs.
By regulation, the connection of renewable energy generation from a home to the electrical utility grid is subject to the exclusive approval, timelines, and costs of the electrical utility service provider.
NET ZERO READY Features
The following list details the features that contribute to achieving Net Zero Ready status and improve the home’s comfort and efficiency.
- For optimum interior comfort, the building envelope insulation consists of: R60 blown cellulose attic insulation, R34 lower-level wall insulation (2” R12 spray foam on concrete walls with R22 mineral fibre insulation in wall cavities), R29 above grade wall insulation (R22 fiberglass insulation with R7 closed cell foam thermal break), 2” R12 spray foam thermal barrier under the basement slab.
- Comfortable and dry lower-level living spaces are achieved by wrapping foundations in a high-performance drainage membrane that provides enhanced water drainage.
- Premium triple pane windows have a high insulation value, improved humidity control, and help provide even temperatures within each room. At Watercolour, they are installed throughout the home except in cases where triple pane is not available (glass inserts in exterior door assemblies and basement sliding windows).
- HVAC: High-efficiency Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) for comfortable, fossil-fuel free, heating and cooling.
- Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) for a steady supply of filtered, fresh air and desirable indoor relative humidity.
- Premium duct system provides a more comfortable home with minimal duct leakage, more even heating and cooling distribution and more useable floor space.
- High-efficiency, hybrid electric ASHP hot water heater (fully owned, no rentals).
Combined, these features result in a high-performance home with greater energy efficiency, comfort and enduring value.
