EnviroHome projects give you the opportunity to see a new home that helps protect our environment. A new home that offers real benefits, and proven design and technology, at very little additional cost.

EnviroHome display homes are constructed by some of Canada's most knowledgeable and experienced home builders. The quality and value of these homes reflects the builders' commitment to offering the best new homes possible. Using proven products and materials, EnviroHomes provide a healthier more natural living environment.

When you tour an EnviroHome, you will find information signs explaining the many environmental, energy - efficient and healthy features that have been included. If you have any additional questions about these features, or about any other aspect of the home, please ask the staff who will be happy to assist you.

EnviroHome projects are sponsored by the Canadian Home Builders Association and Canada Trust with additional support provided by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the R-2000 Program of Natural Resources Canada.
