Geothermal
Callumwood Lane, the lastest phase of Woodland Creek, offers homes with geothermal heating and cooling. Woodland Creek is the first neighbourhood in Sooke to offer this energy and cost efficient form of climate control for homes.In cooperation with Geotility, an established provider of geothermal systems based in Kelowna, the homes on Callumwood Lane incorporate ground source heat pumps that move heat to and from the earth by circulating fluid through a vertical ground loop. Unlike conventional heating systems that burn fossil fuels or use electricity to create heat, heat pumps simply move heat from one place to another.
During the winter, a geothermal system collects this low-grade thermal energy from the earth and concentrates it inside the house or building to provide space heating. In the summer, the process is reversed and the heat pump moves heat from the building and stores it back in the ground.

Key Benefits of Geothermal Systems are:
Lower Operating Costs – Because geothermal systems operate more efficiently than ordinary heating and air conditioning systems, annual operating cost are in the range of 30% to 60% lower then other heating and cooling systems. Geothermal operating costs are approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of electric baseboard heat.Environmentally Friendly – Geothermal systems eliminate the combustion of fossil fuels on site and dramatically reduce the need to generate power - thereby lowering emissions of greenhouse gasses and the environmental damage associated with non-renewable resource extraction.
Comfort – Because geothermal systems use the relatively stable temperature of the earth as an energy source, you are assured of constant, even heating in winter and better humidity control in the summer. Geothermal systems eliminate the need for exhaust venting, reducing the number of penetrations in the building envelope and improving weather tightness.
Safety – No flame, no flue, no odors, no risk from carbon monoxide. Just safe, reliable operation year after year.
Quiet – The completely self-contained indoor equipment does not need a noisy, unsightly outside condensing unit. Geothermal systems are quiet and discrete. Other than the lower energy bills, you will hardly know they are there.

EnerGuide Rating - Lower Operating Costs and Cash Back
A high EnerGuide rating on your home is not only good for the environment; it puts money back in your pocket.All our homes with Geothermal Heating and Cooling have an EnerGuide rating of 80 or more. Not only does this mean that you save substantially on your annual home operating costs, but purchasers of homes with EnerGuide ratings over 77 can qualify for special cash back financing incentives from certain lenders.
An EnerGuide rating shows a standard measure of your home’s energy performance. It shows you (and future buyers) exactly how energy efficient your home is. The rating is calculated based on standard operation assumptions so that you can compare the energy performance of one house against another.
The home’s energy efficiency level is rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high-energy consumption.
A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy on an annual basis.
Typical Energy Efficiency Ratings

For a brand new house, a rating of 80 or higher is excellent.
