Climate Resilient Home

We created a virtual climate resilient home at climateresilienthome.ca.  This virtual home can help you plan your new home or retrofit, by providing features that can protect against flooding, wildfire, extreme weather and increasing temperatures. The website also estimates the effort and expense in installing these resilient features, making it useful to green developers and home owners. 

The virtual climate resilient home demonstrates design features which address key climate change impacts facing the Edmonton Metropolitan Region. It serves as an education and outreach tool, and provide a road map to help homeowners, builders, municipal staff and elected officials make investment and policy decisions to improve the climate resiliency of homes.
