Drain Water Heat Recovery - Power Pipe A Drain Water Heat Recovery System (DWHR) is designed to recover heat from warm drain water. Water heating accounts for 1/3 of your home energy use and 90% of that hot water energy goes down the drain. A DWHR System recovers up to 80% of that lost heat. By using recycled thermal energy you reduce energy use. And that can save up to 40% or more on your hot water heating costs. |

HEPA System Reports indicate that due to hard to control contaminants, air inside your home is typically at least 2-3 times and in some cases up to 7 times worse that outdoor air. A HEPA Filtration System removes over 99% of particles keeping you breathing easily with the best possible indoor air quality. |

Rain Water Harvesting System The simple logic of rainwater harvesting (RWH) is very applicable today in Ontario: collect water of high quality and use it at the point of collection; store it during periods of excess, supply for use in times of scarcity. The water will be pumped into the house to serve the toilets, washing machine, dishwasher and the underground sprinkler system. It is estimated that these applications alone can reduce the household municipal water consumption by up to 55%. |

Exterior Basement Insulation The basement in this LEED® home is kept warm and dry by applying continuous rigid extruded polystyrene to the exterior of the walls. The insulation, with vertical drainage grooves on its face, provides superior insulation value with drainage that directs exterior water away from the foundation towards the weeping tiles. |
