RENX Homes Features Great Gulf's Active House Design in Bradford Community

Great Gulf has unveiled its first house built under Active House principles in the town of Bradford, Ont., with plans to offer the design at other communities across the province.

The 3,185-square-foot Summerlyn Active House at 8 Downy Emerald Dr. adheres to a standard from the Brussels-based Active House Alliance, which recognizes homes built according to the pillars of comfort, energy and environment.

Great Gulf had originally explored Active House design in 2016, when it moved a family of five into a test home in Etobicoke for six months to seek their feedback and observations.

Active House is a “vision of building that creates (a) healthier and more comfortable life for the occupants without negatively impacting the climate,” Tad Putyra, the president and COO of Great Gulf’s low-rise division and H+ME Technology Plus, said in an interview with RENX Homes.
