Alberta Ecotrust is a charitable foundation that builds partnerships to create sustainable environmental benefits for Albertans. In collaboration with SAIT Polytechnic, Jayman MasterBUILT and many other contributors we have 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!
- 5 tonne reduction of greenhouse gas emissions annually
- Reduction of waste in building practice and materials used
- Significantly healthier indoor air quality
- Water conservation indoors and out
How and where we live has consequences we may not be aware of. This Ecohome provides a practical opportunity to learn about the connection between our homes and the environment. |
