Last month, Geranium Homes and EnerQuality Corporation, welcomed dignitaries, consultants, trades and suppliers to the official groundbreaking celebration of the first Energy Star for New Homes qualified neighbourhood in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. More than 80 guests attended the event which was held on-site at the Neighbourhoods of Cardinal Point—Geranium’s highly successful master-planned ravine community.
Geranium Homes’ Vice President Boaz Feiner welcomed distinguished guest speakers including Bill Fisch, Chairman Regional Municipality of York; Wayne Emmerson, Mayor of Whitchurch-Stouffville; Susanne Hilton, Councillor Ward 4; Corey McBurney, President, EnerQuality Corporation; and Stephen Dupuis, President and CEO, BILD.
“The partnership between the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, EnerQuality and their partners, our own trades and suppliers has been such a positive experience for Geranium, that we are confident in moving forward with the Energy Star initiative on all our future communities,” said Boaz Feiner.
EnerQuality Corporation’s President, Corey McBurney, added: "Ontario’s building code is the most stringent in terms of energy efficiency and Geranium is building significantly above this."
In his remarks Stephen Dupuis congratulated Geranium on their drive to continue to raise the bar for new home buyers, and on joining the 574 Energy Star participant builders in Ontario embracing sustainable building practices.
