The homes of tomorrow in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and South Shore will look nothing like today’s — at least not under the hood. With the acceleration of innovation in HVAC ventilation, the evolution of environmental standards, and the rise of smart homes, we are on the brink of a revolution in residential comfort. At AirGreen, we’ve already begun laying the groundwork for this future through real, ambitious projects across Greater Montréal. Here’s an exclusive preview of what to expect from homes by 2030 — and how our services are actively shaping this transition.
Smarter and More Integrated Ventilation Systems
The homes of the future won’t just be more comfortable — they’ll be smarter, more energy-efficient, and better ventilated. Centralized ventilation systems will be equipped with smart sensors capable of automatically adjusting airflow based on room occupancy, indoor air quality, humidity levels, and even outdoor pollution.
At AirGreen, we’ve already begun installing smart ventilation systems connected to home automation platforms like Google Nest, Ecobee, and Control4, enabling real-time and remote control via mobile apps.
Real Example: Central Ventilation System Installation in Boucherville
In a single-family home in Boucherville (South Shore), our team recently installed a central ventilation system with a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) from Venmar AVS E15 ECM, fully integrated into a complete smart home system. Thanks to built-in CO2 sensors, the unit automatically adjusts fresh air intake to maintain optimal air quality, even during the cold winter months.
Energy Efficiency at the Core
With Québec’s new energy standards and ambitious carbon neutrality goals for 2050, the ventilation systems of 2030 will need to minimize energy loss. Both new builds and retrofitted homes will incorporate high-performance HRV units with efficiencies above 75%, while complying with Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program requirements.
Available Subsidies and Incentives
Adopting energy-efficient ventilation technology is made easier thanks to generous subsidies. For example, a family in Laval received a $1,950 financial incentive for the installation of an HRV system paired with an ECM motor air exchanger, making the project both accessible and cost-effective in the short term.
Ventilation That Adapts to New Climate Realities
Climate change is already having a tangible impact on indoor comfort. The homes of the future will have to cope with extreme heat waves and increased humidity. Ventilation will therefore play a crucial role not only in passive cooling but also in humidity control to prevent mold and ensure a healthy environment.
At AirGreen, we are increasingly integrating centralized dehumidifiers, especially in homes in Vieux-Longueuil and Vieux-Montréal, where older foundations make humidity control more complex.
Toward Personalized and Zoned Ventilation
One of the key trends by 2030 will be zoned ventilation, where each room or area in the home has independent control over airflow, temperature, and humidity. Through the use of motorized dampers, smart thermostats, and multiple sensors, we’ll be able to offer every family member personalized comfort.
Project Highlight: Intergenerational Home in Blainville
In an intergenerational residence on the North Shore, we designed a zoned ventilation system with four independent zones. The main living area, grandparents’ suite, finished basement, and heated garage each benefit from customized airflow, optimized for the specific needs of each space.
Growing Importance of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
With increasing attention paid to respiratory health, the ventilation systems of 2030 will feature HEPA filters, UV-C lamps to eliminate bacteria, and plasma air purification systems. These technologies will be integrated directly into the central ductwork.
We’ve already begun incorporating these features in several homes in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie and Plateau Mont-Royal, where high urban density makes indoor air quality even more critical.
A Sustainable and Accessible Future
The home of the future in Greater Montréal won’t just be smart and efficient — it will be sustainable. By combining high-efficiency HRVs, eco-friendly materials, and an approach focused on occupant health, AirGreen is actively contributing to the sustainable transformation of Québec’s residential landscape.
