Construction Voyer Joins the Hydro-Québec Efficient Homes Program!
Driven by an ambition to offer their clientele increasingly eco-responsible and innovative homes, Construction Voyer announced its participation in the Efficient Homes program created by Hydro-Québec. The move demonstrates the company’s commitment to integrating into its new constructions a range of features and technologies that will provide future owners with real, sustainable savings.
What is an “Efficient Home?”
An efficient property is first and foremost a home whose energy bill is reduced to the absolute minimum, while still providing maximum comfort. Choosing an efficient home is essentially making an environmental decision that truly saves in the long run!
Why Choose an Energy Efficient Home?
When we know that:
- Heating alone represents 50% of domestic electricity consumption in a Quebecois home;
- Energy Star certified DEL lighting provides up to 80% savings and lasts 25 times longer than incandescent lighting;
- Electric cars are finally taking the fast lane, as last September 26, the Quebec government inaugurated the first station along the Quebec-Montreal electric charging corridor.
For all these reasons, Construction Voyer is taking the initiative to assure its clientele that each one of its single-family homes respects the standards of the Hydro-Québec “Efficient Homes” program.
Energy Star® Certified Windows
Energy Star® certified windows are 20 to 40% more efficient and economical that traditional windows. Homes like those by Construction Voyer, which only use Energy Star® windows, save up to 10% on heating costs. They’re also better at filtering sunlight, which protects your furniture, floors and curtains from discoloration.
Energy Star® Certified DEL Lightbulbs
Because they are so energy efficient and offer excellent luminosity, Construction Voyer ensures DEL lighting throughout all its properties. With a lifespan of 25,000 hours (23 years at 3 hours per day), they are the best choice for high ceilings and hard to reach spaces.
Electronic Thermostats
The electric thermostats integrated into Construction Voyer homes are much more precise than traditional ones, allowing for greater control of ambient temperature, all while translating into annual savings of up to 10% on the cost of heating. Electronic thermostats continuously detect the ambient temperature, limiting variations and ensuring optimal comfort.
Three-Element Water Heaters
The water heaters installed in Constructions Voyer homes require less electricity, while ensuring complete availability of hot water. Also, their lifespan and reliability are superior to traditional water heaters.
Electric Vehicle Charging Station
Do you already own or intend to acquire an electric car in the near future? Construction Voyer thinks of the future and makes available in each of its new homes a 240 volt outlet, compatible with Level 2 charging stations, ensuring fast recharging of all 100% electric vehicles. Roll with green power thanks to your Voyer home!
