Healthier homes are coming to Edmonton and this is what they look like

We all want to live healthier,  but what if that could be extended to the homes we live in? We’re not talking cleaning or redecorating — we’re talking about how the homes are built and the materials used.

Is it possible to have healthier homes? Brookfield Residential says that the answer is yes, and it’s actually leading the charge right here in Edmonton.

From planning to construction and execution, here’s how Brookfield Residential is bringing healthier homes to Edmonton.

Cleaner air quality

Brookfield Residential

Designed to optimize and monitor fresh air circulation, Brookfield homes support a healthier indoor environment and better quality of life.

Breathe easier with Brookfield Residential’s robust HVAC system, which uses UV light technology and activated carbon filters to help reduce airborne pollutants and odours. The light neutralizes bacteria, mould, and viruses while the filter captures unwanted particles, gases, and odours on site.

Each Brookfield home comes with a protective carbon filter to remove particles that traditional furnaces can’t. That means odours from cooking or pets, off-gassed chemicals from furniture or plastics, and even smoke and fumes are captured by the filter and removed from the air. 

For fresher air, Brookfield Residential has included a Heat Recovery Ventilator, which replaces stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air for better quality and efficiency. Outdoor air is heated in winter and cooled in summer, making for year-round comfort. 

Thoughtful construction approach

Brookfield Residential

Every Brookfield Residential home in Alberta is built to the BUILTGREEN® standard for sustainable, high-performance living.

Features include triple-pane windows for energy efficiency and airtight construction for a consistent indoor climate.

Everything is designed for comfort, natural light, and quieter living, with added sound reduction in shared walls. The result is a home that feels cozy, consistent, and supportive of everyday life.

Enhanced safety

Healthier homes also mean safer homes; that’s why, for over 70 years, Brookfield Residential has prioritized safety with built-in features that bring added peace of mind.

Each home includes carbon monoxide and smoke alarms on every level, front door cameras and smart deadbolts, fire-resistant walls and exteriors, plus leak detection with automatic shutoff. 

Radon mitigation systems are also included in every home, which safely vents the odourless gas found in soil. The gas can enter homes and pose health risks. Together, these systems work to create a healthier indoor environment for your family. 

Water filtration 

There’s nothing like a refreshing cold glass of water. Every Brookfield Residential house has a kitchen sink with a state-of-the-art water purification system. 

A three-phase reverse osmosis system filters sediment, contaminants, and chemicals from your water. With the reverse osmosis membrane, more than 90 per cent of dissolved systems are removed, including heavy metals, sodium, nitrates, forever chemicals, microplastics, chlorine, and arsenic — right at the tap.

Not only healthier, but this filtration system is also environmentally conscious and removes the need for plastic bottled water, saving plastic from landfills and keeping money in your wallet.
