In Progress! Engineered to perform!

At Chatsworth we talk about High Performance Building but what does that mean for you? The phrase communicates our vision of building. This approach yields the best for you, our homeowners delivering the best value in your new home. For example, in our Modern luxury home on Doulton Dr Mississauga the home is not only built to Energy Star standards so the home exceeds code requirements by a long margin but the steel frame was modelled in a sophisticated 3D modelling software.

Breathe Easy in a Healthy Home!

In our cooler Canadian climate we spend a great deal of time indoors. The INDOOR AIR PLUS program by the EPA helps families BREATHE EASY. As we all become increasingly aware of the benefits of a HEALTHY indoor environment, how we build homes and the products and systems we use, need careful consideration. So what is a healthy home? We’ll share some of the steps we take, striving to build homes, inspired by this EPA program with a better indoor environment for your family’s health! The Lakeshore West project is a registered NET ZERO Ready home and also built under the Energy Star Program, both labels guaranteeing energy efficiency and third party verified quality!

NET ZERO – OAKVILLE’S FIRST as seen in WEST OF THE CITY 2024

Being a first is always an honour, a notable event . Our new custom built home recently completed in Oakville is Metro’s first NET ZERO ready home under the Canadian Home Builders Association’s Net Zero  program. West of the City magazine featured the home in its latest issue. A NET ZERO home consumes far less energy than its code built counterpart, in fact this home was tested by an independent third party and verified to need a mere 40% of the energy of the same house built under the current code. Add to that the further comfort aspects of a NET ZERO home, a stringent air exchange system, a sealed shell keeping out those uncomfortable drafts and you’ll begin to appreciate what a high performance home is, besides doing your part in the climate change fight!

They generously treated the Chatsworth team to a wonderful dinner to celebrate what is for every family a landmark event, a new home! Imagine that your home was so energy efficient it consumed a whopping 60% less than comparable new home built to code specification! Well if you live in a NET ZERO home you wouldn’t have to imagine as that would be true!!
