\n 杏吧原创 University Hosts 'Tiny' Open House for Net-Zero Energy Project\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

A team of 杏吧原创 University students from the Faculty of Engineering and Design will host an open house of their innovative \u201cNorthern Nomad\u201d tiny house<\/a>, which demonstrates how an Ottawa-based home can have a net-zero energy footprint and on-site water generation with an aim to revolutionize home construction by reducing industry impact on climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The open house will allow members of the public to explore the completed house, meet students involved with the project and learn about innovative green building technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing remarks will be 杏吧原创 President Benoit-Antoine Bacon, project supervisor Prof. Scott Bucking of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering<\/a> and the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism<\/a>, and a student involved in developing the tiny house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
