The home has had several upgrades such as; Cork flooring on main and second level, a heat pump was added, a *Power-Pipe was installed, skylight coverings were made and Island Solar Films LTD added an **enerlogic window film coating. *a Power-Pipe is a heat exchanger that safely transfers valuable heat energy form the shower in outgoing water to cold water before it enters the water heater - Saves on water heating costs and increases the amount of hot water available. **Enerlogic window film-In summer, EnerLogic keeps the heat out, like traditional reflective window film. But in winter, EnerLogic does what reflective film can't do: It locks the heat inside. So you get a perfect balance of energy efficiency, comfort, and cost savings - all year long. Creekside combines the autonomy of private dwellings with the advantages of shared resources and community living. It's based on a private ownership of complete, self-contained homes (strata ownership) clustered around a shared 3500 square foot common house, a wood working/paint shop, garden area, kids play area, garden and kyak/canoe storage. The 'common house' contains meeting rooms, a large kitchen, lounge, dining room, laundry room, two guest bedrooms, washrooms with shower and a large room for classes and meetings.
