Carbon Wise works closely with a variety of local municipalities. Here we continue our series on City of Victoria Zero Carbon Homes. This project focused on analyzing the energy models of three all-electric, high-performance homes in Victoria. This reel puts a spotlight on one of those three.

Carbon Wise is excited to share that we collaborated with NBA - Nick Bray Architecture and the CLF British Columbia | Carbon Leadership Forum on a case study showing that embodied carbon reductions are achievable for combined senior and student housing projects. Fun fact, our founder, Elisabeth, is a CLF volunteer, and she's proud to support their work as a hub for professionals tackling embodied carbon! By using low-carbon concrete, efficient framing, and other strategies, the project cut embodied carbon by 36%.

From tragedy to hope, we are excited to share our participation in the first rebuilt building in Lytton after the devastating 2021 fire. 🙏 Best of all, it meets Step 3 of the BC Energy Step Code and the Zero Carbon Step Code all-electric requirements (EL-4). With an airtightness of 2.1 ACH50, it will use 65% less energy than a standard code home. Simple, efficient, and future-ready! #lyttonbc #highefficiency #airtightness #energystepcode #zerocarbonhome #heatpump #electricwaterheater #netzero #lowcarbon #carbonemissions #energysavings #sustainability #cleanenergy #renewables #solarpower #energytransition

Wondering what goes into designing a high-performance home? 🏡 Here are 5 key considerations: ✅ Simplicity in design leads to smoother construction. ✅ Window placement is crucial - think passive solar design and energy efficiency. ✅ The building envelope should balance insulation, window ratio, and complexity. ✅ Airtightness is key - aiming for 1 ACH ensures an energy-efficient home. ✅ Go electric! A high-efficiency heat pump is the best bet for both heating and cooling. #EnergyEfficientHomes #LowCarbonLiving #GreenConstruction #SustainableBuildingDesign #NetZeroHomes #PassiveHouseDesign #EnergyEfficientDesign #SustainableHomeDesign #LowCarbonHomes #HeatPumpTechnology #BCEnergyEfficiency #VancouverSustainability #VictoriaGreenBuilding #CanadianEnergyRebates #BCGreenHomes

Let's talk about insulation and why 'good enough' insulation might not be doing enough to lower your home's GHG emissions. Key factors to consider are the Global Warming Potential (GWP) and thermal bridging to ensure comfort all year round. Swipe to get all the details.

Understanding embodied carbon for smarter, healthier homes is often overlooked. Embodied carbon accounts for the emissions generated in making, transporting, and decommissioning building materials. It's crucial to consider for low-carbon construction and renovation. Watch this reel to see how low-carbon materials reduce your project's embodied carbon. Questions?
