BC's Climate Friendly Homes Tours

Across BC, homeowners are building and retrofitting houses to be more climate-friendly. That means they’ve reduced the energy use and carbon emissions from their homes. How are they doing it? Perhaps, it’s using more efficient heating, cooling and hot water systems. It could be an improved building envelope with added insulation and modern windows and doors. Or an innovative design that makes the most of sunshine and natural cooling techniques. Some are even generating their own renewable energy with solar panels.

The point is that every home is a little different. That's why it is so important to show people what is possible with first-hand visits.

New West Sustainable Home Info Sessions

Tour homes in New Westminster to learn about climate mitigation, adaptation, biodiversity, and how to make changes in your home with something for all housing types.

The New Westminster Climate Action Hub will be hosting Sustainable Home Info Sessions on May 2nd. These info sessions take a broad approach to sustainability and emission reductions, achieved through retrofits, green infrastructure and passive cooling.

Three single-family homes and a laneway home will be included with information pertaining to condos and apartments. Secure bike storage will be provided. HUB Cycling is providing a guided tour of the three sites and (free) registration is required.

The Sustainable Home Info Sessions event is financially supported by NWCAH member donations and grants from Climate Reality, the City of New Westminster and the Tamarack Institute. Supporting and attending organizations include HUB Cycling, BCIT Building Sciences, SFU Breathe Project, Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment (CANE), Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), Cariboo Heights Forest Preservation Society, RegenerateBC and Sierra Club BC.
