LEED® Registered Homes
Sifton Properties is leading the way in GREEN home construction
Do you want to live a "greener" lifestyle, and feel good every day, knowing that you are doing something substantial to lessen your impact on the environment? You now have the chance, with London's first production-built LEED® Registered homes at Sifton's new Forest Hill community.
What is LEED®?
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes. A green home uses less energy, water, and natural resources; creates less waste; and is healthier and more comfortable for the occupants. Each LEED home undergoes rigorous third-party inspection and performance-testing to provide indisputable proof to you, the homeowner, that your home is truly green.
What is a GREEN Home?
The LEED Program defines a green home as:
• Healthy
• Comfortable
• Durable
• Energy efficient
• Environmentally responsible
• Built in a sustainable community
What are the benefits of a LEED® Home?
• Lower energy bills
• Lower water bills
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
• Increased comfort
• Improved indoor air quality
• Lower maintenance costs
• Built using best industry practices
Most importantly, LEED homes are affordable. The net monthly cost of owning a LEED home is comparable to that of owning a conventional home, as some upfront costs can be offset by the reduced monthly operating costs.
