BC Energy Step Code Professional
As Step Code professionals, Parsons Family Homes is dedicated to the latest in technology in energy efficiency. We were an early member of the federal government R2000 program and builder of the Coldstream Envirohome in 2000. The Parsons team has been at the forefront of the latest innovations and building techniques for energy efficiency, healthy housing and green building for many years now. Standard features in our homes are a full-HRV system, 96% efficiency furnaces, Double LowE Argon windows, optimum-value framing, direct-vent water tanks, under-slab insulation, spray-foamed rim joists, Insulated Concrete Forms (R24), CFL lighting and airtight construction. For those who want that extra step in energy efficiency, we can add tankless water heaters, blanket-wall insulation, interior-foam insulation (to prevent thermal bridging) and triple-glazed windows. All homes are Step Code rated and Blower Door Tested. Design permitting, most of our homes achieve an Energy Star rating of 80+. We believe that this extra effort and time ensures our customers will have long-lasting comfort, a healthier home and low energy costs. More information:
