Affordable Construction, Affordable Living
Lower utility bills
Heating and cooling account for over 65% of the average Canadian homeowner’s utility expenses.
According to National Resources Canada heating your home makes up about 64% of your utility bill, while cooling is about 2%.
Passive House buildings allow for heating and cooling-related energy savings of up to 90% compared with typical building stock and over 75% compared with average new builds. High-performance construction and retrofitting provide immediate, substantial energy savings that add up in the long term.
The airtight and super-insulated components of SEED Building Systems are designed to meet Passive House standards, providing phenomenal long-term energy efficiency.
World-Class Energy Efficiency
Tooketree Passive Homes is a Net-Zero Qualified Builder, which means our homes are efficient enough to be heated, cooled, and powered by renewable energy produced on-site.
Tooketree provides proven energy efficiency through super-insulated, air-tight building envelopes, saving you money.

While the up-front investment into building a sustainable home may be slightly higher, the energy savings and reduced service and maintenance costs result in remarkable savings over time. High-performance buildings come with attractive benefits, increasing their value – and your net home equity.
This graph by SEEFAR demonstrates the costs, savings and added value associated with long-term ownership of a sustainable home, compared to a minimum code-built home.
