In renovating the cottage, we incorporated many features that save energy and resources:

For your health and comfort:

• A well insulated, energy efficient building shell
• Formaldehyde free insulation
• Modern wood frame double glazed windows
• Hardwood and tile floors
• Extensive use of metal clad wiring for low electrical field emissions
• Non-toxic cleaning materials
• Window screens for flow-through ventilation in season
• A heat pump with dehumidifier mode to avoid moisture build up and mold.
• Joyous amounts of natural light
• Cigarette smoke-free
• Our loudest noise- the sounds of birds and flowing water.
