Healthy Homes - Nov 16
On November 16th, Anand Mishra (CMHC) spoke about Healthy Homes as part of the VerEco Home Expert Series. The talk covered CMHC’s EQuilibrium program, an initiative to build net zero houses across Canada. The process for this program started with a consumer survey, the aim of which was to gauge interest in green building and what barriers existed to building environmentally friendly homes. Industry interviews were also conducted to discover what builders might be interested in and what reasons motivated industry to become involved in green building.

Net Zero: What does this mean?
Net zero means that a home has an annual net energy consumption of zero; it uses the same amount of energy as it generates. Energy consumption is based on heating and cooling a home, heating water, and operating the home's lights, appliances, and mechanical devices.
The VerEco Home saves energy by reducing the amount of energy the home requires, reusing waste and excess energy, and replacing conventional energy sources with alternatives.
