ENERGY STAR^® for New Homes: Features

A Royalpark ENERGY STAR^® qualified home at Credit Ridge lets you enjoy your home more comfortably while minimizing costs in Ontario associated with heating, cooling and electricity consumption. The following are a few ENERGY STAR features that will be provided to our new home buyers:

• Low E Argon Windows and Patio Doors

  This all-season glass decreases condensation, reduces ultra-violet rays from entering the home, and retains interior heat more efficiently than ordinary glass.

• Increased Attic Insulation

  More attic insulation keeps the rising heat from escaping through the roof, thereby reducing heating costs.

• Blanket Your Walls in Warmth

  Increased wall insulation inside and out for retaining your home’s heat during the winter and keeping your home cooler during the summer - plus the added benefit of reduced noise penetration.

• Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) units in Detached Homes

  Creates a healthier home and controls humidity by exchanging fresh outside air with stale interior air, while retaining the heat from the exhaust air.

• Electricity Savings and Power Monitoring

  Experience monthly hydro savings from the installation of compact fluorescent light bulbs and the ability to monitor electricity consumption in real time.

• High Efficiency Furnace with Programmable Thermostat

  Make your forced air, high efficiency natural gas furnace work at peak efficiency with a programmable thermostat to reduce energy consumption day and night.

• Sealed Ductwork

  With sealed ductwork, your heating and cooling systems avoid leaking air while reducing your energy costs and improving your family’s indoor comfort.

• A Home that Passes all the Tests

  Every home is inspected and rated by a Government-sponsored third party for efficiency before being approved for certification.
