Energy Efficiency
In the comfort of your own Energy Star home
It’s hard not to feel good, when the ambience of your home is maintained, no matter what the weather. With an ENERGY STAR® qualified home, you can curl up and read a book while the wind is howling outside—you’ll feel protected and comfortable in a cosy atmosphere. Drafts, dust, moisture, pollen and pests won’t infringe upon your healthy home, due to improved air quality the result of tighter construction, superior windows and mechanical system, and attention to detail.
Bottom line
Certainly, your new home by Mason will help your bottom line in terms of savings on energy costs and as important, you will be living in an all-embracing, restful environment. As we all love to save money, you may want to get out your calculator to add up significant savings; as ENERGY STAR® qualified homes use less energy for heating and cooling. That said, with a better-built Mason home you can expect to save up to $500 per year* and more as energy cost rise—now multiply that by 10 years! Not only will your utility bills be lower, but also your conscience can rest knowing that your home is consuming 30 to 40% less energy* than conventional built houses. In addition, costly maintenance is often the result of condensation on windows, heat loss through the attic and roof, and ill-fitting construction that lets in the elements, typical construction issues that ENERGY STAR® homes greatly improve upon!
Environmental resposibilities
Without having to think about it, your home is producing less pollution than your car, approximately 3 to 4 tonnes less per year*—hard to believe! But true! More facts and figures—nationwide, 16% of all greenhouse gases are generated from the energy used in our homes*, and so by burning less fossil fuels we contribute to the improvement of our environment with the long-term hope of reducing smog, acid rain, and global warming.
So what does it
all mean?
With tighter construction, more effective insulation, high-performance windows, and efficient heating and cooling systems, your home will be able to maintain consistent temperatures by using less energy and be more comfortable for your family. All the technical data, ratios and percentages from Natural Resources Canada prove to you that our ENERGY STAR® qualified homes meet the program’s labelling requirements and exceed recommendations outlined by the Ontario Building code standards.
But what we really want to convey to you is that Mason Homes is committed to building the best possible home.
