What makes an Urbandale Net Zero Ready home different?

In our ongoing dedication to crafting a sustainable future for homeowners and slashing energy costs while minimizing carbon footprints with Net Zero Ready Homes, we’re committed to higher standards. Each Urbandale Construction Single Family home is equipped with a 5 kW solar package that includes low-profile solar panels, propelling your Net Zero Ready home to further offset your energy expenses.

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.

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.

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 appliances, lighting fixtures, and mechanical systems are chosen and installed for maximum energy efficiency.

How many one-on-one appointments will I have with my Design Consultant?

Typically two to three appointments, depending on the type of home purchased. We kindly ask that no more than two decision makers attend these meetings. This helps to optimize your time and ensure you are able to fully review selections and factor in your budget.

What comes standard with my new home?

Your Schedule C in your Agreement of Purchase and Sale outlines all standard specifications.
