Alouette’s ÉcoTerra housing concept is an innovative way to create and build a home that combines the ideas of sustainable development, environmental harmony and personal health and well-being. The ÉcoTerra project by Alouette Homes is an important step in the research, development and construction of a new generation of energy-efficient, eco-friendly homes. ÉcoTerra: Build today for a better tomorrow.
Alouette’s ÉcoTerra housing concept, one of the winning proposals in CMHC’s EQuilibrium Housing competition, is based on the principals of occupant health and comfort, energy efficiency, renewable energy production, resource conservation and reduced environmental impact.
The ÉcoTerra home offers the following advantages:
• year-round reduced energy bills
• healthier, more comfortable living
• a reliable, renewable energy source
• greatly reduced environmental impact.
With its ÉcoTerra house, Alouette Homes has established itself once again as a pioneer in Quebec and Canada. Together with its partners, Alouette Homes is leading the way in the construction of healthy, affordable, sustainable and energy-efficient homes.
