***Session 1*** - ***DESIGNING THE FUTURE***

The first episode in a series exploring the process of designing and building a Net Zero

• The series begins with an introduction to the project from a high level,

• A new design paradigm for Step 5 “Net Zero” homes will be reviewed. The process of this radical new combination of systems and approaches will be examined,

• Learn why excavation of the site was avoided and how the structure is supported,

• Explore the building enclosure design and the integrated approach to the mechanical/sewerage/renewable energy production and storage/co-generation/ water treatment and the long list of site specific challenges presented to the design team on this very off-grid site nestled in a valley between crown land and a Provincial Park beside a gold and fish-filled river,

• Examine the actual engineering and design drawings that have driven the project forward, and

• Review the first phase of construction including site preparation and the start of the installation of the structural anchor for the home.
