From CMHC:
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) EQuilibrium™ Sustainable Housing Demonstration Initiative* is bringing world-class sustainable housing examples home to Canadians!
With EQuilibrium™ homes all across Canada, now is the time to learn all about these near- and net-zero energy, ultra-low environmental impact homes.
CMHC EQuilibrium™ Housing Forum 2012
True Stories: Sustainability in Action
October 23-24, 2012 • Vancouver, B.C.
The 2012 EQuilibrium™ Housing Forum is the premier event providing in-depth information, analysis and discussion on some of the most “sustainable” houses ever built in Canada.
The Forum will focus on sharing lessons learned from five completed EQuilibrium™ Housing projects: Harmony House in Burnaby, BC:
Also – the Green Dream Home in Kamloops, BC; EchoHaven in Calgary, AB; the Urban Ecology project in Winnipeg, MB; and the Now House
Attend this forum and learn directly from the project designers and builders themselves:
-
How did they create a near-to net-zero energy EQuilibrium™ home?
-
What challenges did they face?
-
What are the benefits for the builder and value to the consumer?
-
How much did it cost, what did they learn, and what will they do next time?
-
What are the visitors saying?
Plus, participate in a guided tour of an EQuilibrium™ home with the builder team!
Over 95% of respondents that participated in previous EQuilibrium Housing Forums said they would be “very likely” to “likely” to incorporate what they learned at the Forum into their business practices. Don’t miss out on this important sustainable housing learning event and business development opportunity!
