Sustainability
Cedarglen Homes uses the government-backed EnerGuide rating scale. We work with an energy advisor to improve the energy performance of your new home. This investment made in energy efficiency at the construction stage will pay off in lower energy bills once you move into your home. In addition, the EnerGuide evaluation report and official label can help increase your home’s resale value when you’re ready to purchase a new Cedarglen home.
