Avalon Master Builder is re-designing multi-family homeownership with ZEN Net Zero Townhomes – a better home for you and the environment.

In Partnership with The Canadian Home Builders’ Association and Natural Resources Canada, we are building one of the first Multi‐Unit Residential Buildings (MURBs) qualified under the CHBA Net Zero Home Labelling Program, at ZEN Sequel, in Seton!

ZEN Sequel, in Seton offers 8 Net Zero Townhomes and 8 Net Zero-Ready Townhomes.

A Net Zero Home is designed, modelled and built to produce as much energy as it consumes annually, and is up to 80% more efficient than a typical new home.

A Net Zero Ready Home has all the features of a Net Zero Home without the solar panels. A Net Zero Ready Home uses up to 80% less energy than a home built to traditional standards.

We build a complete package of energy-efficient, durable products and features into each home including:

• A Home Comfort System
A heating and cooling system that uses an Air-Source Heat Pump and Heat Pump Water Heater to pull heat to and from your home and a Drain Water Heat Recovery Unit that saves between 20 and 40% of the heating cost. In warmer months, the heat pump pulls heat from inside your home and moves it outside, cooling your home. In cooler months it reverses the process and extracts heat from outside air and moves it into your home. The Heat Pump Water Heater takes heat from the surrounding air and moves it into the water tank, making it 2 to 3 times more efficient than a standard water heater.

The Drain Water Heat Recovery Unit captures energy that is lost from warm or hot water going down the drain and uses it to pre-heat incoming cold fresh water.

• Fresh Air System (HRV)
Pets, household cleaners and personal care products all impact indoor-air quality. You can think of this system as the lungs of the home and it’s job is to continuously remove stale, humid air from your home and replace it with fresh air from outside. Your home will always have fresh, healthy and clean air. Allergies and breathing conditions, like Asthma will improve, because the air that comes into the house is filtered.

• Double-Coated Triple-Pane Windows: Windows that have double the insulation value of typical brand-new windows. Compared to double-pane units, triple-pane windows allow less heat to escape, have less condensation, and are more soundproof.

• Solar Panels * Not applicable for Net Zero Ready Homes.
Harness the Sun. With little to no maintenance, solar panels help increase your home’s value while lowering energy bills.

• Energy-Efficient Appliances
Refrigerator, dishwasher and laundry are ENERGY STAR® rated, saving money by using less electricity.

• Superior Heating and Cooling
Consistent temperatures inside the home all year-round.

• Super Insulated & Airtight Envelope
Insulation levels that are 50 to 60% higher, make the home much quieter than a traditional home.

• LED Lighting
We install lighting fixtures that meet ENERGY STAR® standards and have energy-efficient LED bulbs to reduce energy usage.

•Third-Party Verified
ZEN Net Zero townhomes are third-party EnerGuide™ rated for tighter, draft-free living, better interior air quality and substantial cost reductions.

and much much more!

The result is an energy-efficient, airtight home and exceptional living experience for you. ZEN Net Zero homeowners will save on their utility bills, be protected from energy price increases, and live in a healthier, safer, more durable and comfortable home.

Our Double-Coated Triple-Pane windows allow less heat to escape with double the insulation value of typical new windows, making your home more sound-proof.

Our air-tight walls eliminate drafts, reduce energy consumption and lower exterior noise levels.

Like a cozy warm blanket, our attic insulation has a value of R-50 for maximum comfort and savings.

For continuous clean, healthy, fresh air, our Fresh Air System exchanges stale air for fresh, filtered air. This is especially beneficial for those with asthma or other respiratory conditions, allowing everyone to breathe a little easier.
