Sustainable Living at Paradise Trails: Pioneering a Net-Positive Future

Welcome to Paradise Trails, a community where we're not just building homes; we're revolutionizing the concept of sustainable living. Designed in collaboration with Harold Orr and Sons Engineers and Builders, a world leader in energy conservation, we're creating an oasis of sustainability where every home embodies our commitment to eco-conscious living.

Homes that Harness the Power of the Sun

Our homes, ranging from 4,000 to 5,500 sq. ft., aren't just residences—they're powerhouses of sustainability. Each home features our proprietary solar panel system, integrated into the walls and roofs, transforming the abundant Squamish sunlight into clean, renewable energy. These advanced solar systems power our homes while reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

Setting New Standards in Insulation and Energy Efficiency

We are the first community to incorporate vacuum insulated glazings into our subdivision, offering triple the insulation of conventional triple glazing. Coupled with super insulation and heat recovery ventilators, our homes significantly decrease energy consumption for heating and cooling. At Paradise Trails, we're setting our sights beyond mere compliance with energy standards. We're striving to exceed Step 5 of the BC Energy Step Code, setting a new standard for energy-efficient housing. We further enhance our homes' efficiency with heat pump technology and efficient greywater recycling systems, ensuring every aspect of our homes contribute to sustainable living.

A Self-Sustaining Community

True to the spirit of sustainability, Paradise Trails operates with its own water supply and waste disposal systems. We're implementing rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling, optimizing our natural resources, and reducing reliance on municipal supplies.

Beyond Net-Zero: The Power of Net-Positive Living

But we're not stopping at net-zero. Our ambition extends further: to net-positive living. By generating more energy than they consume, our homes have the potential to contribute excess clean energy back to the grid. This means your home doesn’t just power itself—it could also power your lifestyle, including charging your electric vehicles. It's more than sustainable living; it's a revolution in residential design and a commitment to the future of our planet.

Personalized Sustainable Living

Beyond the principal residences, we offer up to 2,000 sq. ft. of additional space for accessory buildings or secondary suites. We believe every home should reflect its resident and their commitment to sustainable living, allowing you to design a space that meets your unique lifestyle needs while aligning with our community's vision of sustainability.

Paradise Trails is more than a place to live—it's a commitment to a lifestyle that deeply respects and contributes to the health of the environment. By choosing Paradise Trails, you're choosing to innovate for a sustainable future, to power not only your home but your life with clean, renewable energy. Welcome to Paradise Trails, where we're trailblazing the path to net-positive living.
