Five builders in four provinces are constructing 26 homes as part of the largest net zero energy community project in Canada.

“We wanted to demonstrate that it’s feasible across Canada, so our objective was to find five production builders that have experience building green in their track process and take it one level further and go net zero,” said Candice Luck, director of strategy and programs for buildABILITY Corporation, a housing industry consulting firm that’s leading the project along with insulation and roofing products manufacturer Owens Corning Canada.
