Vicolo Construction likes to supply our clients with the right information as an industry-leading sustainable homebuilder in Richmond Hill. Our team includes a diverse group of experts that include project managers, skilled technicians, and engineers as well as architects and planners.
We have put together a building sustainability checklist so you can understand what our services provide.
- Lighting – Saving you money and operational costs is part of our process. Timers for both outdoor and indoor lighting reduce electricity costs and save on your energy bills at the same time. We take great pride in listening to and achieving each one of our client’s requirements. The reputation that we’ve built up has helped us to become one of the most credible construction companies in Canada. LED lights are energy efficient and reliable. It’s a good idea to include them in any design plans because they radiate less heat. Simple things make a big difference. For example, motion sensors can lower your energy costs while extending old bulbs’ lifetime. They also improve safety and security.
- Energy – Energy Star-rated appliances are always a suggestion when we put together a plan as your sustainable homebuilder in Richmond Hill. These lower your carbon footprint while significantly reducing your energy spending and bills.
- Waste – Implementing a recycling program is another excellent step. Home and business recycling saves resources, money, labor, and energy. Office recycling platforms often motivate employees and give them a chance to work with causes they care deeply about.
- HVAC – Using the proper insulation on interior and exterior walls can make a big difference. Insulating both properly helps cooling systems and heating units work more efficiently. What’s more, noises are isolated and acoustics are improved. Utilizing natural light is another critical element. Properly placed windows can provide both passive cooling and heating.
Of course, one of the biggest elements is the construction itself. One of the biggest tips here is implementing smart insulation packages. These are specifically designed to reduce heating leaks and energy consumption at the same time. They work by reducing heating equipment and air-conditioning usage.
Everything matters to us as your sustainable homebuilder in Richmond Hill. That includes making sure we use only nonvolatile organic compound paints (VOC). The other options contain harmful chemicals that can vaporize and harm the environment. The VOC paints are much better because they help reduce any health and or environmental implications.
