Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system improves indoor air quality by drawing fresh air from the outside while recovering heat from the inside. They also reduce humidity, indoor pollutants, and odours, and remove all water vapor that is produced in the home to ensure there is no moisture that will cause condensation and dampness.

High-quality, heavyweight, extra strong limited lifetime profile architectural shingles can help reflect more sunlight away from the home, reducing heat absorption.

Low expansion foam at all exterior windows and doors plus sealed air ducts in unfinished basements to reduce leaks, drafts and outdoor noise

Exterior basement walls are insulated with R27 insulation to the floor with house wrap on the exterior foundation.

We put R10 value rigid foam insulation under the basement slab/floor.

ENERGY STAR® rated windows with a high-performance invisible coating that keeps the heat in during the winter and out during the summer.

Windows and doors are tightly sealed with low-expansion foam to prevent drafts and reduce extra noise.

Every light in a Tartan home includes LED bulbs, which use 80% less energy and last up to 50 times longer than standard bulbs, resulting in fewer lightbulbs to change throughout your home.

Exterior walls are insulated to R27 value which is achieved by a combination of BATT insulation and exterior foam insulation sheathing and sealed in house wrap to help reduce condensation and heating or cooling loss.

R60 blown insulation in the attic. This higher level of insulation can help with improving comfort, reducing energy bills, reducing moisture and preventing ice dams.

Wall, insulation, roofing, ducts, windows and doors form your's home's envelope. All Tartan homes must pass a special blower door test to ensure their envelope is as tight as possible to ensure comfort and energy efficiency.

Like long showers and luxurious baths? They’ll cost less in your new home thanks to this high performing drain water heat recovery unit that uses outgoing warm drain water to heat incoming cold fresh water—and your ENERGY STAR® rated water heater.

All Tartan homes undergo a 13-point inspection by an independent, accredited ENERGY STAR® auditor, who verifies the homes meet or exceed all standards for air tightness, energy efficiency and air quality.

All Tartan ENERGY STAR® certified homes are equipped with a high efficiency 96% minimum AFUE 2 stage gas value furnace with a high efficiency electronically commutated motor (ECM) furnace with a two-stage burner controlled by a programmable thermostat.

Garage ceilings are insulated with spray foam insulation to R32 value, where there is a finished room above.

Sealed duct work throughout the unfinished part of the basement. This extra step can help improve indoor air quality by reducing the risk of pollutants entering and circulating through your home.
