Nope, this isn’t a new contest from GNI. Instead of being one of the 5 lucky winners of our Toques on to a Warm Home, Warm Heart campaign, imagine not having to pay for heat and hydro forever.
Well, in a demonstration home in Kamloops, this is exactly the case. In a demonstration home in Kamloops, a 3,000 square foot home has been built in the Sun Rivers development that is so loaded with energy efficient features that the net cost for a year’s worth of electricity will be zero.
Some highlights of the homes features include
- Insulation rating of the exterior walls of R44 (compared to R12 for conventional fibreglass insulation)
- A living-room waterfall (!) that balances the interior humidity
- Hot water recovery system
- Geothermal energy system
These and the rest of the features, combined with the use of renewable resources in the house as truly make this a “Green Dream Home”
