We design homes to capture natural sunlight In our net zero homes, the floor absorbs the sunlight’s energy to help heat the house. This is called passive solar heating. Even with reduced hours of sunlight and the low angle of the sun this time of year, 1/3 of the heat needed for the Belgravia Green Net Zero Home is FREE passive solar heat from the sun!

One of the reasons our Garneau Home won Canadian Home Builders' Association-Edmonton Region’s Best Infill Over 4,000 Sq Ft was that it was 40% more efficient than any standard home. We’ve since made improvements that make this house even more environmentally friendly! With the help of SkyFire Energy, 50 solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall were added to the garage. The 18.8kW PV system and powerwall will back up the majority of the home's electrical needs! See more of the Garneau here: https://effecthomes.ca/our-homes/garneau-home/
