Energy Efficiency in housing is the future. As populations increase and we put more of a strain on our Natural Resources, it is time to start thinking about how you can reduce your impact on our planet. Read more of Capital Home Energy’s resources to learn more about what you can do to reduce your impact as a designer, homeowner or builder!

Therefore call us today and in spite of riding energy bills, we can help you.  Unless you like living in an uncomfortable home ?  Till we specifically change the way we build, then our homes will not improve.

Lastly, we will also showcase your projects on our media channels.  Moreover, this is a great way for builders, Architects, and designers to grow their business.  Meanwhile we help get the word out for the same reason.

Nonetheless for this purpose, here is an example:

We are excited to be working with one of Vancouver’s premier High Performance design/build construction companies Lanefab.  This duplex will be CHBA Net Zero home labeled. That means the house will produce as much on-site renewal energy as it consumes on an annual basis.

Lanefab is an integrated design/build company that crafts custom homes and infill mini-homes (or “laneway houses”) with design quality & energy efficiency as core values.

Their projects are all unique; they are each built for a specific site and client and are consistently rated among Canada’s most energy efficient.

The home is utilizing the City of Vancouver’s Green Buildings policy for rezoning which allows for a floor area exclusion for Zero Emissions buildings (CHBA Net Zero, Passive House, Near Zero Emissions buildings), of 18% of the gross (or built) floor area in a two-family dwelling, or 16% in a one-family home.  This also allows for each side of the duplex to have secondary suites (4 units total).
