EEH  FEATURES:

 

     Capture and Conservation of Energy

 

 

 

 

 

Even on a cloudy or rainy day in Winter, an EEH home is capable of absorbing unseen infrared thermal energy from the sun, and the net effect is an internal temperature rise. Add to this the normal release of heat from normal home occupation, including humans, refrigerators, lights, TV's etc, and you can be rest assured of a warm home that requires very little ancillary heating.

Maximized high efficiency is not the only reason to chose an EEH home:

Our ... home has been described as ‘the most comfortable home I’ve ever been in’. The quality of the lumber was incredible.  The 6X2 studs looked like finishing wood and the windows are marvelous.  The engineering package was so thorough that it breezed through the planning department.  It is truly a unique and beautiful home that we are extremely pleased with.
