EnviroHome projects include a wide range of features and products that can help protect the quality of the environment - indoors and out. In designing and constructing the home, the builder draws on more than a decade of building science research and product development by both government and industry.

As a result, these new homes will provide a number of benefits to the owners, to the community and to the environment.


Good for You...

	Fresh air ventilation throughout the home ensures a healthy indoor living environment. With allergies and asthma on the rise, clean air is more important than ever.
	Materials and products, from flooring and kitchen cabinets to paints, varnishes and glues, have been carefully chosen to minimize the amount of chemicals released into the home's air, further protecting the indoor environment.
	A well - constructed, energy - efficient building shell protects from the elements. The home is virtually draft - free, with even temperatures throughout, providing year - round comfort and low heating and cooling costs.

Good for Your Community...

	Water - conserving toilets, faucets and showerheads reduce water use in the home and help keep municipal service costs down.
	The highly energy - efficient design of this home means lower utility costs and reduced local air pollution from power - generating plants

Good for the Environment...

	Efficient use of resources and energy significantly reduces overall environmental impact. This helps to control climate change and means cleaner air and water for everyone.
	Many of the building materials used are manufactured from fast growing tree species and mill leftovers, replacing "environmentally expensive" solid dimensional timber and conserving forest resources. Building products made from other recycled materials, such as paper and steel are also used.
	The solid R-2000 construction and high - quality materials used in EnviroHome projects means these homes will stand the test of time, protecting the environment today and for the decades to come.

A home that is good for the environment also provides a good environment for you and your family to live in. EnviroHome shows you that homes like this are available and affordable today!
