Richgrove Village still has all the EnergyStar® benefits, but now LEED® Canada certification recognizes Richgrove Village as an even brighter shade of green in four additional features “outside the skin”.
Announcing our move up from EnergyStar® to LEED® Great News! Richgrove Village is now a candidate for LEED® Canada certification, which means your home will be built with all the energy innovations of EnergyStar® homes, plus it will go even further to save the planet and save you money.
Under the EnergyStar® certification program, Richgrove Village was already achieving very high standards in the “under the skin” features of each home – providing excellent insulation, high-performance windows, tight construction and ducts, a high efficiency heating system, a modern water heater and energy efficient lighting and appliances. Your new home is also built with an improved overall “building envelope” (for better comfort and energy efficiency) and higher-performance mechanical systems.
