Net Zero ready homes are here – are you ready?

Cast your minds back to the ’70s, the days of Abba, Grease and Bell bottoms, the latest cars being sold with seat belts, claiming compliance to “California Motor vehicle standards”. At that time seat belts in cars and similarly crash helmets for a motorcycle rider were felt, by many, to be overweening laws restricting personal freedoms. Roll forward to the new millennium and those, now seemingly arcane, attitudes are playing out in the current debate on Building Code changes in housing. Many resistant to change bemoan the constant code updates requiring greater rigor and the accompanying continuous upgrading required for builders and professionals to keep abreast.

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!

Time to Celebrate NET ZERO, a first!

This past weekend, we celebrated a house warming with our clients in Oakville.

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!!
