How and where we live has consequences we may not be aware of. In collaboration with SAIT Polytechnic, Jayman MasterBUILT and many other contributors we built a beautiful home that easily achieves a number of significant environmental outcomes:

• EnerGuide for New Houses rating of 85 – one of the most energy efficient conventional homes in Canada!
• Five tonne reduction of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
• Reduction of waste in building practice and materials used.
• Significantly healthier indoor air quality.
• Water conservation inside and out.

The Ecotrust Ecohome Guidebook tells the story of the Ecohome and the features that increase its sustainability and decrease its ecological footprint.
