Green homes are built from renewable natural resources in order to reduce the energy impact on the environment and people’s health, offering better quality of living. The increasing health consciousness and environmental awareness has brought the wood renaissance. Internationally wood is considered the most ecological building material. It is considered also as the most appropriate for constructing energy efficient and passive buildings. Canadian homes® builds your home with materials supplied by nature itself.

Energy efficient homes are designed to reduce the energy consumption of heating and cooling the building. The architectural design focuses on the main criteria of a combination of functionality, natural light, natural ventilation and aesthetic appeal. Wood as being a non conductive material with the addition of advanced insulation products is ideal for designing energy efficient buildings.

Passive homes are designed to minimize energy consumption of heating and cooling. This is made possible with an air leakage tight and extra insulated buildings cell, including the exterior openings, keeping the interior at the desired temperature, with the only need of a purifying air ventilation system, which produces excellent interior atmosphere. Canadian homes® designs with a certified passive home architect.

The autonomous homes are designed where connection with power grid on a distant located or a holiday home is not efficient or desired. They take advantage of renewable energy sources. Basic and endless source are sun’s rays which through a photovoltaic solar panel and an inverter system produce the electricity to power the home and the batteries for storage efficiency. This system could be combined with other renewable energy sources. The home must properly designed and insulated.
