NET ZERO READY
• Net Zero Ready homes use on average 80% less energy than a house built to code
• 2” × 6” exterior wall framing spaced at 24” on center allows for R-22 insulation between the studs. This combined with R-5.6 rigid external insulation attached to oriented strand board (OSB) eliminates thermal bridging and increases structural integrity. Combined exterior wall assembly results in a total value of R-27.6.
• 8-10” thick poured concrete foundation wall with Urbandale’s Proud Foundation™ insulation system. Exterior insulation keeps the concrete foundation from freezing, reducing the chance of cracks and condensation issues.
• Exterior foundation wall waterproof membrane promoting dry basements
• R-10 high density insulation under slab and footing for warmer basements
• R-40 insulation in floors above garage
• Raised heel trusses with R-60 insulation in attic
• Windows designed for the Arctic climate to keep out the cold and unwanted noise. We use ENERGY STAR® Certified windows (triple or double glazing, depending on the application, argon filled with a low-e coating).
• Draft protected outlets reduce air leakage and lower heating costs
• ENERGY STAR® Certified Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater
• Air Tightness of 1.5 ACH at 50 Pa. An airtight home with controlled airflow reduces heat loss and sound transmission.
• High efficiency Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump provides heat in the winter and cools in the summer.
• Power vent, forced air, high efficiency gas furnace w/ 96% Annual Fuel Utilization (AFUE) provides supplementary heat during periods of extreme cold outdoor temperatures. Multi-speed furnace fan matches the heating needs for more efficient operation.
• Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV)
• LED lighting throughout home. LED uses 80% less than incandescent bulbs and last up to 25 times longer
• Drain water heat recovery system to save energy on water heating

Net Zero Ready Townhomes

What is a Net Zero Ready Home?
Net Zero Ready Homes are up to 80% more energy efficient than typical new homes. These homes are meticulously constructed, featuring enhanced insulation, high-performance windows, and superior airtightness to reduce heating and cooling demands to a minimum. Additionally, all lighting fixtures, and mechanical systems are chosen and installed for maximum energy efficiency.

What is the difference between Net Zero Ready and Net Zero?
The Canadian Home Builder’s Association’s (CHBA) Qualified Net Zero Ready Homes are designed and built to meet the same efficiency standards as Net Zero Homes. The key difference is the absence of a renewable energy system on Net Zero Ready
homes at the time of construction. However, these homes are strategically designed and constructed to easily accommodate the installation of a renewable energy system in the future.

Why would you choose a Net Zero Ready Home over a Net Zero Home?
While renewable energy sources like solar involve an upfront investment, which may deter some prospective homeowners, opting for a Net Zero Ready Home offers a highly efficient living space that’s primed for future upgrades. This means you can enjoy the benefits of an energy-efficient home now and seamlessly transition to a fully Net Zero Home when you’re ready

Your Home as a System
1. Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump
Extract heat from colder ambient air more efficiently. Designed for harsh Canadian winters, Cold Climate Air Source Heat pumps are engineered to extract heat from outdoor air even at -30°C. Transferring this heat to your homes interior. In summer, the process is reversed—all to reduce reliance on traditional heating and cooling methods, lowering utility bills, and ensure consistent comfort year-round.
2. Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV)
Maintain comfortable humidity levels throughout every season. Recovering heat and moisture from stale air during winter and preheating incoming fresh air for added comfort. While, also maintaining optimal humidity levels year-round. Thus, reducing dryness-related discomforts and enhancing overall indoor air quality
3. Energy Star® Certified Heat Pump Water Heater (Rental)
Heat water using significantly less energy with ambient air temperatures Harnessing heat from the surrounding ambient air into a converter that uses it to heat water. During periods of high hot water demand, a switch to standard electric resistance heat is made automatically. Giving you quick recovery during these high use times.
4. Urbandale Construction’s Proud FoundationTM
Healthier, warmer and more comfortable basement spaces. We prioritize comfort and durability by insulating below and on the exterior foundation, ensuring warmer floors and extending living space to your basement. Our exclusive Proud FoundationTM features a waterproof elastomeric coating, reducing the risk of cracks, moisture, and mold. Enjoy peace of mind, backed by a 30-year warranty against leaks.
5. Energy Star Certified® Triple-Pane Windows
Lowering sound transmission while being thermal efficient. With SunResist™ triple-pane Low-E 366 glass, our windows block 90% of the sun’s rays, delivering up to 22% better energy efficiency compared to standard windows. This reduces strain on heating and cooling systems to help keep your home warmer in winter, cooler in summer. Additionally, the triple-pane construction minimizes outside noise, creating a quieter, more serene living environment.
6. Air Tightness
Keeping outdoor pollutants and allergens out of your home Airtight homes ensure consistent temperatures, fewer drafts, and reduced condensation causing mold. Our advanced ventilation systems expel damp air and lower indoor humidity levels, allowing you to enjoy fresh air freely by opening windows and doors when desired. This combination decreases energy usage and also enhances overall comfort.
