Breathe better. Sleep better. Work better. Live better.
Your home is the most important purchase you will ever make. Your new home at 52 Fisher was built to stand the test of time, protect the health of the planet and the health of the homeowner.
What is a high-performance home?
A high-performance home is one that exceeds the minimum building codes in terms of insulation, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. High-performance homes are subjected to rigorous performance testing. The condominiums at 52 Fisher have earned 3rd party certifications that reflect the most advanced levels of building science. They have been built to Passive House Standards, which are among the most rigorous global guidelines for quality, comfort, and energy efficiency.
Sleep, Focus & Wellbeing
A home can help us achieve our goals or serve as a hindrance to them. 52 Fisher condominiums deliver continuous fresh air, lower indoor CO2 levels, humidity regulation, and noise reduction. Studies show that this can make a big difference in how you sleep, your mood, your ability to focus, and your cognitive performance. For people who want to do everything they can to improve their performance, the benefits of continuous fresh air make 52 Fisher stand apart from other homes.
Air Quality & Brain Power
The choice of a home is one of the rare opportunities we get in life to significantly improve the quality of the air we breathe every day. The air in a typical house is 2 to 5 times more polluted with contaminants than the air outside. These homes have been built with materials specially selected to minimize or eliminate hazardous indoor chemicals, and with ventilation systems to continuously supply fresh, filtered air. These features can help reduce air pollution, allergens, and asthma triggers. They can also help reduce carbon dioxide levels and can improve cognitive performance.
“A study by the Harvard School Of Public Health found that people’s cognitive performance was 130% higher in certain types of buildings because of the improved air quality.”
Quiet & Peaceful Urban Living
Urban living has never been so quiet. Sound-dampening insulation inside and outside helps reduce exterior noise and contribute to peace and tranquility.
A house built to the typical standard reduces a person’s ability to save money over time, delivers losses due to high energy use and repair requirements, and captures a significant amount of the owner’s time because of unexpected repairs and failures.
Durability & Resilience
These homes have been designed and built with detailed attention to long term durability: less susceptible to common home problems like uneven air temperatures and excessive heat loss. Third-party certification ensures quality control that surpasses standard building codes. Mechanical systems are thoroughly commissioned to make sure they are operating optimally
What Do Experts See?
What would an expert do when buying a house? Experts would check to see if the house had certain systems: a fresh air system, a quality building envelope, a moisture infiltration prevention system. They’d make sure the home is free of hot and cold zones, capable of withstanding major weather events, enhances the health of the occupants, and conducive to good sleep. An expert sees what others don’t see. They look beyond the obvious to see what kind of future the home will deliver over the long term.
Experts see…
High-performance European windows with insulated, leak-proof frames and glazing maintain optimal indoor temperatures while enabling easy operation.
Air-tight building practices and a series of air blower tests during construction stop air and energy leaks for optimal ventilation, air quality (free of allergens and toxins) and HVAC system efficacy.
Master carpenters and framers with decades of experience construct every detail with care and commitment high-performance outcomes.
Double stud wall construction with a 12" inch cavity for insulation and a continuous weather-resistant barrier provide the foundation for the building's high performance and durability.
Use of energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to ensure steady flow of quality fresh air while extracting heat from outgoing air provides for superior indoor air quality.
Triple glazed European tilt and turn windows keep noise and pollutants out while inviting ample daylight.
Compact heat pump for heating, cooling and hot water may be at an upfront cost premium but allow for optimal comfort and the lowest cost to occupants.
Passive House standard integrates exceptionally high level of energy efficiency and comfort with design/construction principles of airtightness, thermal insulation, thermal bridge free design, ventilation with heat recovery and high-performance windows.
Models every building detail in an energy model that considers solar orientation, climate and window placement to significantly lower running costs.
Feel better. Work better. Sleep better.
Live at 52 Fisher.
