A Pioneering Research Initiative for Sustainable Homebuilding.
In 2017 two homes were built on different technical levels.One uses the latest technologies to enhance energy efficiency, one was built to building code. Sensors were installed throughout the homes. Families moved in.
Currently the energy consumption and cost efficiency of both homes are being monitored and compared by a research team at UBC Okanagan’s School of Engineering. Every month new results are published here.
Partners of the Wilden Living Lab are: Blenk Development Corp. (Wilden), UBC Okanagan, FortisBC, AuthenTech Homes, GeoTility, Okanagan College and NSERC*.
