Building Green: A Net Zero Home

Date: Wednesday, October 13, 2010
Time: 7 PM
Location: J.S. Wood Library, 1801 Lansdowne Ave., Saskatoon

A Net Zero Home is defined as a home that generates as much energy as it uses on an annual basis. Many tried and proven technologies are available to reduce energy consumption and related greenhouse gases emissions from residential homes. Each of the technologies has a different cost and related benefits. Choosing the right technologies takes a careful analysis of the options.

Ronn Lepage is pioneering what may be Saskatchewan's first truly Net Zero Home. This presentation will discuss the many alternatives available and how they were selected for this home. This presentation should be attended by anyone interested in building a green home.

Event co-sponsored by the J.S. Wood Library and Saskatchewan Environmental Society. For more information contact 665.1915.
