Net Zero Ready Singles & Bungalows
Urbandale is paving the way to create resilient, comfortable, and low carbon communities in the Capital region. Net Zero Ready is Urbandale’s new standard in all single family homes. These homes will be optimized with technology that ensures:

Comfort (Year Round)
Offset Energy Costs
Lower Cost of Home Ownership
Exceptional Air Quality
Durability

Every Net Zero Ready home undergoes third party modeling & verification by a certified Energy Consultant from Homesol Building Solutions. Once the blower door test has been done & the verification is complete, the home is given an EnerGuide rating.

Upgrading to Net Zero With Solar Panels
To take energy efficiency to new heights and to offset energy costs further, you can upgrade your home during the design phase to full Net Zero with state-of-the-art low profile solar panels installed on the rooftop. These panels provide renewable, low-carbon energy by generating electricity from the sun. After you purchase your home, Urbandale Design Centre consultants can provide more information on our Net Zero upgrade partnership with EXECON Roofing & Solar.
