Energy-Efficent Home
In addition to the large indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, the home features seven comfortable bedrooms and four full bathrooms. Marchand Construction is a boutique builder based out of Edmonton that specializes in the design and build of highly energy-efficient homes. And while it may be hard to look past this home’s lake views, the unseen features of this home are equally impressive. During its mid-construction (pre-drywall) blower door test, the home achieved a very low 0.36 ACH50!
Here are some of the high-performance building materials that were used to build this energy efficient home.
- 2×4 walls with Rockwool® interior insulation and 3″ BASF Neopor® GPS exterior insulation
- DELTA®-VENT S-plus permeable water-resistive barrier and air barrier
- 3″ EPS insulation under the floor with additional spray foam from above
- Triple glazed high-performance windows and doors
All high-performance building materials were supplied by Performance Haus in Edmonton.
