Embrun Station: Inside Corvinelli Homes’ high-performance townhomes

John Corvinelli, owner of Corvinelli Homes, knows that energy efficiency tops the list of home features that today’s savvy buyers want. That’s why he built his newest community, Embrun Station, to ENERGY STAR standard with expert advice and incentives from Savings by Design. The townhomes will keep owners more comfortable and help them save on energy costs for years to come.

“Enbridge Gas is a force and more companies should look at their builder programs, including their commitment to ENERGY STAR for New Homes, as an example to be better within their companies and to be better communicators of energy efficiency to our construction industry.”
