Essential Innovations wholly owned subsidiary Earth Source Energy has over 700 geoexchange projects.
Current Project
DiamondView, Westbank, British Columbia
Diamondview's panoramic view homesites provide an opportunity to live in the heart of natural beauty.The development embraces the environment and green future by incorporating geoexchange technology; the most energy efficient, environmentally clean and cost effective space conditioning technology into its master plan. This innovative design approach will be provided through the services of Essential Innovations Geoexchange Energy Service Company. Essential Innovations will provide a turnkey geoexchange system specifically tailored for each lot and residence and will be further enhanced through affordability of a lease value proposition. Essential Innovations will design, engineer, supply and install each residence geoexchange system. In addition, EI will take total responsibility of the ground loop portion of the system at Diamondview, acting as an energy provider to the homeowners and provide inexpensive access to the ground loops on a long term operating lease. Diamondview's website is: http://www.diamondview.ca/.
The first phase of this project consists of 70 single-family residential sites with custom-built homes expected to range between 3,500 - 6,000 square feet on average, although some homes may also be significantly larger (or smaller). A proposed second phase consisting of another 201 condominium units and 9 townhomes has been submitted for regulatory approval, and for which Essential Innovations has a "Right of First Refusal" should the developer choose to market with the same Geothermal Option as with Phase One.
The developer has agreed to promote the Company and its innovative turnkey geothermal services throughout the span of the project. The developer expects the total build-out of the first phase of the project will be completed by the end of 2013. Diamondview Estates is overlooking Okanagan Lake and the City of Kelowna in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. The Diamondview Estates project site boasts a 75-foot cascading waterfall feature on site to complement the already breathtaking panoramic view lots.
