Odessa making a difference in one community by providing better-built homes for families.
Harrison Highlands, a community in Agassiz currently under construction by Odessa Group, is drawing attention for the homes’ ENERGY STAR® certification, as well as being an affordable investment for homeowners seeking a unique lifestyle experience.
A typical new home in Metro Vancouver has air leakage rates of five to six times per hour. Nathan Stone, co-founder of Odessa Group, is building homes with half that — or 2.5 air changes per hour — thus meeting stringent energy efficiency standards, but at minimal extra cost to the homeowners.
Achieving ENERGY STAR standards required bringing a certified energy advisor on board, to ensure the builder was supported appropriately throughout the construction process. “Our advisor helped us assess design plans and made cost-efficient recommendations on how to achieve our performance goals,” Stone said.
