This home is the latest of three research homes in Wilden. The Next Generation Home is built to BC Step Code 5 and net-zero standards. It is a continuation of the UBC Okanagan research on the best construction practices, innovative materials and energy efficient systems.

The home focuses on a robust building envelope with exceptional airtightness and efficient mechanical systems. It produces more energy than it uses.

We invite you to visit the home for an educational experience through fun, educational, interactive displays. Experience how quiet a high-performance home can be, feel the difference that energy star windows can make, see what’s inside the attic and walls, and how a solar system works. Learn how green construction saves energy and impacts climate change.

This 6-month long exhibition is full of learning opportunities for all levels of knowledge. Come visit us during show home opening hours.
