– passive solar greenhouse with rocket mass heater
– water harvesting systems including underground rain tank and swales

Bravo! Genius to have this all so well documented and easily accessible to share. Thanks for sharing 🙂 Hope all is well.
Best,

Do you have any courses on a long weekend that would run Sunday/Monday? Saturdays are a holy day for us and thus are unable to attend, but this is something we are extremely interested in and would love to become certified! Would you be able to do any courses in Spruce Grove/Stony Plain, AB?
I am sorry Tanya. The dates are listed in the courses we have for sale on the website right now.
Thanks for the awesome videos and inspiration.
I would love to know more about how you retrofitted your house. In particular how you added more insulation to the outside walls.
Was there a company you used? And did you ultimately find a big difference?
Thanks in advance,
Alex.
Alex,
That is hard to explain in the comment section of the blog. Every home will be different. Building science is a complex subject and needs to be tailored for each building. In short we have noticed a huge difference in efficiency, comfort and noise levels.
Thanks for the comment.
