ERTH360 Wellness which includes a curated selection of products to improve indoor air quality. In the near future, additional offerings will also be available including a whole home dehumidifier, a whole home humidifier, and more.
Starting from the design stage, ERTH360 incorporates enhanced air filtration, balanced mechanical and natural ventilation, energy and water-efficient fixtures, and other features so you can rest assured your family will be living in a better home.
We are also very concerned about the climate crisis and its effect on ever-changing weather conditions. Although we cannot guarantee that any home will survive erratic and increasingly severe weather conditions, ERTH360 features several climate-conscious and resiliency measures including HEPA filtration system with active carbon that will filter smoke and odours, water efficient faucets, and other features.
We are working on having every ERTH360 Wellness home third-party verified. ERTH360 Wellness homes offer a comprehensive series of improvements that go beyond those required by the building code.
ERTH360 is based on the science of Building Biology, a holistic discipline that focuses on creating healthy indoor environments by considering factors such as indoor air quality, natural materials, and sustainability. It emphasizes, where possible, using non-toxic, natural building materials, and incorporating biophilic design principles. The ultimate goal is to prioritize human health and well-being in building design and construction.
We've chosen not to incorporate solar panels into our homes at this time due to cost considerations and the variability of sunlight in different locations. We believe in providing homeowners with flexibility to make their own sustainable choices based on their preferences and circumstances. We are currently in the process of designing and building our first Net Zero Discovery Home which includes ERTH360 features.
We prefer to think of this as a small up-front investment. There are real financial costs associated with getting sick including medication, lost work opportunities, etc. We believe that building a home to enhance health and well-being can also lead to long-term improvements in quality of life, enhanced mood, increased productivity, heightened creativity, and more, all of which have financial implications. We are also working on introducing ERTH360 tiers so that you can decide what package best suits your needs from the most affordable to the most comprehensive.
We not only provide all the necessary operating manuals and materials to ensure homeowners know exactly how their home systems work, but we also offer walk-throughs and orientation so builders and their home buyers have the knowledge to keep their home systems operational and properly running. We also provide regular maintenance checklists so there are no surprises. Operating your home requires some simple maintenance two to three times a year.
You can buy replacement filters online or through your preferred HVAC maintenance company. All the replacement items can also be bought online at competitive prices. Additionally, as a byproduct of our focus on enhanced energy efficiency, many of our home features like better water-saving fixtures and a balanced ventilation system save you money over the long term.
