Certification

ENERGY STAR certification has been standard in our homes for many years.

In fact, Tamarack was involved in Canada’s first ENERGY STAR community

Improved insulation

• Exterior wall is built using 1" foam sheathing for a total insulation value of R27.
• Window thermopane is Low E triple-glazed glass argon gas filled.
• Lower level is waterproofed and insulated using ‘TUFF-N-DRI’ (see promotional information for detailed benefits).
• Extensive use of insulation foam to ensure complete sealing of all exterior walls.
• Attic insulation upgraded to R60.

Improved fresh air ventilator control

• Each home comes complete with a fully ducted Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV).
• This ensures that fresh air is continually supplied to the living areas of the home while the ‘stale’ air is continually exhausted from bathrooms and kitchen.

Improved energy efficiency

• Furnace is upgraded to include ECM fan motor plus a two-stage burner. This ensures a significant electrical savings plan plus an improvement to the efficiency of heat distribution.
• Use of Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFL) throughout.
• Use of LED potlights.

Improved building standards

• Each home is certified ENERGY STAR compliant using third party inspectors and engineers.
