Come see the Yukon's Second LEED Registered Home

Come see our little SuperGreen laneway home - it's nearly finished!  This is arguably* the most energy efficent home in the Yukon, scoring an EnerGuide rating of 89!  The home is registred as a LEED Canada for Homes project and really is a model of sustainable housing in Whitehorse.

So come for a visit and tour - Friday April 3rd - drop by between noon and 7pm.  Note that this is a laneway house, so access it from the alley between Wood and Jarvis Street, between 7th and 8th.  



* Why do I say "arguably", well so there is one other home in Whitehorse recently rated at 89, but it is a big home and they used a big heat pump to score so well--the current EnerGuide rating system is not kind to small homes.  ALSO, Habitat for Humanity's triplex built out at Champagne & Aishikik First Nation's Takhini River subdivision scored a 90, but again they cheated by putting whopping 14kW photovoltaic array on the building.  It's building envelope isn't as energy efficient as ours, but the big renewable energy generation raises their overall EnerGuide rating.  Either way, these are all great, high performance homes and the debated about who's most efficient really is becoming a fun academic game.
