Sobre
This leading renewable energy enterprise operates out of a high-performance head office in Kemptville that serves as a benchmark for sustainable commercial infrastructure. The facility is entirely fossil fuel free and generates five times more energy than it consumes annually through its advanced onsite power systems. Innovative building techniques include the use of strawbale walls that provide thermal insulation values significantly exceeding standard construction requirements. Interior spaces benefit from maximized natural light through the strategic use of light-shelves and passive solar design. Climate control is managed by a geothermal heat-pump system integrated with efficient hydronic radiant floor heating for year-round comfort. The roof supports a massive 118 kW photovoltaic array that powers the entire operation while contributing surplus energy back to the grid. By combining biobased building materials with cutting-edge electrical technology, the company demonstrates the practical feasibility of net-positive architecture. This commitment to deep energy efficiency is further supported by low-energy LED lighting and superior building envelope sealing.
