2020 has been a challenging year to say the least, and I would like to extend my gratitude to our clients, family, and friends for their continued support.
Also, a big thanks to our dedicated team of professionals at Capital Home Energy for making this another successful year, despite the difficulties we all had to face.
This year we have seen major breakthroughs from our builders, architects, and designers when it comes to high performance homes. We are seeing innovations and improvements across the industry, from airtightness strategies, higher R value assemblies, high performance glazing, and mechanical systems. This, of course, is all leading towards more Healthy, Durable, Comfortable, and Energy Efficient homes.
Net Zero housing is really taking off in BC, and this will be one of the top trends in 2021. Our team of Net Zero trained Energy Advisors, is ready to assist you on your next project.
