Sustainable building starts with better planning and smarter methods.
Unlike traditional homes, prefabricated homes are built in controlled factory environments.
Effectively, this process is drastically reducing construction waste and minimizing environmental disruption on-site.
Our approach follows green best practices at every phase.
From selecting low-impact materials to leveraging energy-efficient systems right from the blueprint stage.
We’re ensuring the best possible green building practices at every level of our building process.
With prefab, we optimize every square foot (SQ. FT) of your floor plans, delivering precise craftsmanship and minimizing excess materials.
In line with the Ontario Building Code, we integrate sustainability into the very fabric of your home—literally.
This precision doesn’t just benefit the environment.
Rather, it also means better long-term durability and reduced costs for you, the homeowner.
With its proximity to Lake Huron and reputation as one of Southwestern Ontario’s industrial hubs, Sarnia Ontario is uniquely positioned to benefit from eco-conscious construction.
In fact, the local climate—with its seasonal extremes—makes energy efficiency and insulation even more critical.
As more residents seek homes that align with environmental values while keeping utility bills in check, modular homes are becoming the go-to solution.
The blend of green living and modern comforts fits perfectly with Sarnia’s climate, offering long-lasting performance in winter and summer alike.
At the heart of any efficient home is energy performance.
We incorporate best-in-class insulation, smart HVAC systems, and renewable energy sources like solar panels.
Naturally, this is giving you full control over comfort and energy consumption.
Our homes are often designed to meet or exceed Passive House standards.
Here, thermal performance is so strong that you need very little energy to heat or cool the space.
Importantly, this leads to significant savings on utility bills while reducing your carbon footprint.
All this, without compromising on the features of a quality home.
As part of our custom design centre consultations, we guide you through upgrades that align with your goals.
Whether that means triple-glazed windows, LED lighting systems, or high-efficiency appliances.
It’s all integrated into your new home seamlessly.
Choosing materials with intention is one of the most powerful ways to build green.
Our modular houses are made using FSC-certified wood, recycled steel, and low-VOC finishes.
All of these materials are ideal for creating a healthier indoor environment.
Unlike some general contractors who default to conventional building supplies, we source responsibly.
In fact, we’re dedicated to balancing form, function, and environmental impact.
Moreover, since our homes are factory-built, the supply chain is shorter and more efficient.
Essentially, we’re eliminating wasteful overages.
Whether you’re building a tiny home, garden suite, or a full-size custom home.
The eco-friendly benefits extend across all project types.
At My Own Cottage, we believe transparency builds trust.
That’s why many of our prefab homes in Sarnia are eligible for third-party sustainability certifications, including:
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
Energy Star for Homes
Passive House Certification
Each of these designations comes with strict benchmarks—from indoor air quality and energy use to water efficiency and overall sustainability.
Certification adds long-term value to your property, sets you apart in the market, and reflects a commitment to smarter, more ethical building.
With My Own Cottage, you’ll also meet or exceed Ontario Building and Building Code requirements.
Effectively, we’re making financing, permitting, and insuring your perfect home easier than ever!
While some people associate “green” with higher upfront costs, sustainable prefab homes offer a clear long-term payoff.
You’ll enjoy:
Lower monthly bills from reduced energy and water use
Healthier indoor air quality, especially important in high-pollution zones
Increased property value from modern, energy-efficient features
Durability thanks to advanced moisture and temperature control systems
Faster ROI, especially when paired with renewable energy sources
Prefab sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a pathway to smarter, more responsible homeownership in Ontario and across North America.
