Most energy efficient home in Atlantic Canada

In 2008 EcoPlusHome and the Bosch Group began the design and development of the EcoPlusHome Test House in Bathurst, New Brunswick.

Our goal was to create a smart home environment that would not rely on fossil fuels for electricity or heat. With very cold winters
(-35C/-31F) and boiling hot summers (35C/95F), Bathurst offered the perfect test climate.

We designed the Test House as a complete system: we placed a well-built, airtight modular home in the right orientation on the right site, then incorporated the best advanced energy-efficiency systems and materials. And it worked.

The six-member Kenny family spent 12 months (2009-2010) in the Test House during which time it generated and conserved the energy they needed to live comfortably through the area’s seasonal temperature extremes.

In 2010, Efficiency New Brunswick gave the Bathurst Test House an EnerGuide rating of 96, the highest they had ever given.

We are proud to have built the most energy efficient home in Atlantic Canada.

Thanks to those who helped make our vision a reality
