Ottawa’s RND Construction is proving sustainable homes can not only be built with style, but can actually exceed today’s R-2000 standards. Take for example the newly build showpiece homes in Riverpark Green, an infill project in Ottawa’s Riverside Park. It is a stunning combination of energy efficient features and modern elements, including river-reclaimed red birch flooring, railings and stairs recovered from the Ottawa River by Logs End.
