Home of the Future
197 Goodwin Drive
D R. BILL CAMER ON
SPEC IAL TO THE G UEL PH M ERC U RY
Guelph has a well-earned
reputation as a forward-thinking
community. Nowhere is that more
tangible than in the selection
of local builders. Reid’s Heritage
Homes is building five of Canada’s
newest Net Zero Energy homes –
low-rise,
community-conducive,
largely inconspicuous development
projects that produce at least as
much energy as they consume
on an annual basis. If you have
any interest in being on the very
cutting edge of the future of
residential planning, you owe it to
yourself to take a look at the Net
Zero Discovery Home already built
in the south end.
Facing the façade from the
driveway, there’s little indication
that this house is substantially
different from the other attractive
family homes on this quiet
neighbourhood
street.
But
appearances can be deceiving,
and there’s nothing typical about
the details here. That becomes
abundantly clear when you see
the south-facing rear roof. There
are 33 of Bluewater Energy’s solar
photovoltaic panels back there,
providing enough electricity for the
home to achieve Net Zero status.
Of course, the flipside of
increasing home energy production
is reducing consumption, without
sacrificing any of your lifestyle.
That’s accomplished by way of
high-efficiency insulation and
a nearly airtight envelope using
Owens Corning systems to
minimize air leakage. Meanwhile,
all the windows are triple-pane
by Jeld-Wen, providing superior
insulation while also allowing
passive heating and even providing
noise-reduction.
On the subject of heating, the
house employs the latest in air
source heat pump space and water
technologies, with systems from
Mitsubishi Electric and Rheem
Canada. By making use of these
and other innovative hybrid
techniques, Reid’s Heritage has
managed to create an attractive
family home at the very pinnacle
of efficiency which nevertheless
makes use of technologies currently
available and affordable to the
average consumer.
While the Net Zero Energy
status can’t help but serve as the
highlight here, there is yet more
appeal to this home. Consider
its alluring south end location,
in the prestigious Westminster
Woods community. That puts you
nearby to the ever-growing list of
amenities and attractions in this
quickly growing part of town, as
well as affording you easy access
to downtown Guelph, the 401, and
all the other important regional
transportation arteries.
By now, you’ve surely got a sense
of how unique and prescient an
opportunity this home presents.
Just in case you need a little more
reassurance, though, you should
consider coming down to the
grand opening of the Discovery
Home on Saturday, September
19, from 10:00AM to 5:00PM.
Two electric vehicles by Tesla
will also be on display. For more
information about this Net Zero
Discovery Home, the other Net
Zero home currently for sale, or
future related developments, visit
