Climate change is a bigger problem today than it ever has been.
And while most people think about doing their part for the environment by recycling more and remembering to take their reusable bag to the grocery store, there’s another way to lower your carbon footprint — and that’s living in a home that is scientifically built to use less energy.
So it makes sense that one of the hottest housing trends of the moment is owning a “Passive House.” The European building standard includes triple-glazed windows, airtight closures, and super-smart ventilation systems to prevent energy escaping.
Think of a Passive House like a passive income — once you set it up you don’t have to do anything to reap the rewards. Except this way, you’re saving energy instead of cash. Not only will you be doing your part for the environment, but you’ll be saving money on energy costs too with an 80% reduction in overall heating costs.
In other words, the Passive House is the innovative carbon-conscious home of your dreams. And we have great news for you. You can now make your dream of contributing to a lower carbon footprint a reality by owning one of 52 homes in West Coquitlam’s brand new townhome development, Skagen.
Skagen townhomes are big, with three- and four-bedroom layouts ranging from 1,653 to 2,083 sq. ft. That’s large enough to fit two Yaletown sized apartments! You’ll find three-bedrooms from $929,900, four-bedrooms from $1,019,900, and you can earn 5% interest on your deposit (up to a maximum of $10,000, for a limited time only).
