A showhome in the south east Calgary community of Cranston. This showhome was built in 2012 and closed in 2014.

 

This home was a 2012 SAM Award winner for Best Innovation: Idea/Service. I was part of the multi-discipline team that put this project together. The building was manufactured in panels at the Landmark Building Solutions plant in Edmonton and the panels were trucked down to Calgary where it was assembled in about 5 hours on site.

 

This model was a Craftsman style two story and it was 2372 Sq. Ft. The home was meant to be a full Net-Zero energy home which means that all the energy the home uses is actually generated on site. This home did not even have natural gas hooked up to it. All the energy was generated by the 48 solar PV panels which were grid-tied. That means that when excess energy is being generated it is sold back to the grid and when there is not enough energy being generated, say at night, it pulls power from the grid. The idea is that it nets out to zero.

 

There is much more that could be said, but if you would like to find out more feel free to contact me.
