Green Building Initiatives
At Evergreen Concepts, our primary objective is to build cost-effective, healthy, and energy efficient homes and cottages. While defining client needs, we make an effort to emphasize minimizing the environmental impact of our designs and projects.
Our design process, combined with ongoing consultation, demonstrates that building in an environmentally responsible manner can be budget friendly. Well-designed homes and cottages often have a short capital cost payback due to the substantial energy savings they generate.
Canada is working towards a building code that aims for “net-zero” by 2030. A “net-zero” home, evolving from the R-2000 concept, consumes only as much energy as it produces, resulting in a healthier environment for homeowners and the planet. Evergreen Concepts has long been a leader in this approach and will continue to advance these practices.
Together, we can build a sustainable future through innovative and eco-friendly solutions.
Evergreen Concepts and Energy Star
As Energy Star Certified Builders, Evergreen Concepts adheres to strict Energy Star guidelines to enhance efficiency. We proudly demonstrate how to design and build beautiful, environmentally responsible homes and cottages that are both cost-effective and high performing.
The Energy Star label, backed by government standards, assures you of superior energy efficiency and significant savings on your energy bills– at least 30% compared to basic 2009 code construction. Energy Star homes reduce costs for heating, cooling, and lighting and typically have higher resale values. With an Energy Star home from Evergreen Concepts, you may find that you will never want to sell.
