The Now House project

The Now House™
project will turn a 60-year-old WWII house into a near zero energy
home—one that produces almost as much energy as it uses.

By
reducing the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of one wartime
home in Toronto, we are developing a model that can be applied to
similar houses that are scattered throughout Canada and North America.
We will start with one house, then a community of wartime houses, then
a million houses across the country.

The Now House™ project is a
collaboration of designers, architects, engineers, homeowners and
sustainable building experts led by Lorraine Gauthier of the design
consultancy Work Worth Doing.
