About

The project aims to construct a demonstration house in Nelson, BC, specifically designed to showcase the latest in sustainable building technologies and practices to the local builder community. By focusing on practical, innovative solutions like solar panels with battery storage, high-performance insulation and windows, rainwater harvesting systems, geothermal heating and cooling, smart home technology, and incorporating green roofs or living walls, this house will serve as a model for energy efficiency, water conservation, and overall sustainability in residential construction. The goal is to educate and inspire builders in Nelson to adopt these practices in their future projects, significantly impacting the community's approach to sustainable living and construction.

Nestled in the eco-conscious community of Nelson, this demonstration house will not only highlight the feasibility of integrating green technologies into modern homes but also emphasize the importance of these practices in reducing environmental impact. By providing a tangible, real-world example, the project seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical sustainability concepts and practical application, creating a ripple effect of environmental stewardship across the building industry in Nelson and beyond.
