Working with you to build energy solutions that work

We work closely with forward-thinking developers and builders to find state-of-the-art energy solutions for new condos, homes, and businesses.

With a suite of energy choices, including natural gas, electricity, geoexchange, and biomethane, we’re leading the way in inspiring the creation of energy-efficient buildings that help our customers use energy wisely. In doing so, we’re making a difference in households, businesses, communities, and ultimately, the environment.

Building a passive house

Features: Natural gas
This innovative home found just the right energy mix with natural gas. A successful passive house relies upon the shape and orientation of the building, and features high performance heat recovery, ventilation, windows and insulation and an airtight envelope. The resulting product is a house with superior thermal comfort and indoor air quality that requires so little heat that the building can be heated primarily by “passive” sources, such as direct sunlight and heat gains from existing appliances and building operations.
