The first Net Zero
Home in the Township
of Langley was just
the beginning.
A Net Zero Home produces as much energy as it consumes annually, thanks to onsite renewable systems like solar panels. These homes are up to 80% more efficient than standard new homes and are built to higher standards for insulation, airtightness, and mechanical performance.
We’re raising the bar
on energy efficiency
and design.
