SAIT – Building one of the greenest homes on earth

SAIT’s Green Building Technologies, Woodpecker European Timber Framing and an Alberta family have partnered to construct a one-of-a-kind home in the foothills of southern Alberta — one that produces more energy than it uses, captures water on site and creates a positive impact on its people and environment. Together, they hope “The Confluence” will be the fourth home in the world to achieve the highest possible certification through the Living Building Challenge, the world’s most rigorous green building rating program and sustainable design framework.
