Registration: 7:15 am

Session: 8:00 am- 9:00 am
@ Autodesk Canada
210 King St. E. Toronto

This session will take a deeper look into home building innovations sparked by the CMHC EQuillibrium Homes project, a national competition. EQuillibrium challenged Canada's building community to design and construct scalable, marketable residential homes with superior environmental performance.  Under the spotlight will be Minto's Inspiration Eco-Home, a net-zero demonstration residence that is currently under construction in Manotick, Ontario.

Minto's Andrew Pride will speak to the process through which the Inspiration Eco-Home was realized and reflect on how the development community is attempting to "mainstream" green building design in residential homes.  Topics for discussion include:

• The role of collaboration and leadership in the design process;
• Commercializing green houses: Selling Inspiration to the public; and,
• Evaluating and selecting green approaches and technologies in Inspiration.
