Kanata neighbourhood will feature Minto Communities’ latest Net Zero Energy homes
Minto Communities is excited to announce the construction of five of the most energy efficient homes in Canada, now within reach for the average homebuyer. With support from Natural Resources Canada’s ecoENERGY Innovation Initiative (ecoEII), Minto is investing in this initiative with leading residential experts in building science and energy efficiency to plan, design, and construct five zero energy homes. The homes, to be built in Kanata’s Arcadia community, are all designed to deliver Net Zero Energy (NZE) performance, meaning that they will produce as much energy as they consume on an annual basis.
