Wain Road
This home was constructed using concrete insulated panel (CIP) building technology, using a tilt-up method, which at the time was unique to the residential building industry in Canada.
CIP homes are low maintenance, energy efficient, extremely durable, and resistant to common damage culprits such as rot, mould, pests, and fire.
Wain Rd home was intentionally designed to be a passive solar home. By to solar energy and retain it with the thermal mass of the concrete, resultedin a 70% energy reduction and making it almost entirely net zero energy from a 12.5KW solar PV system.
