Year-Round Comfort
With warm summers and cold winters, one of the primary considerations was year-round comfort achieved through an highly insulated building envelope and an energy efficient heating system, including:
- R60 ICF foundation
- R30 wall assembly with 2×6 Pacific SmartWall® Technology by Pacific Homes
- Triple glazed Innotech windows and doors
- Warm roof assembly with 6 inches of 2-pound sprayfoam
- 2 air source heat pumps
- 96% Viessman boiler for domestic heat, hot water and in-slab heating
- Independent HRV system
East Kootenay Haven was awarded two 2017 Georgie Awards: Best Custom Home valued between $1,300,000 – $1,899,000 and Best Certified Home – Custom. Congratulations!
