How to Live Large in a Smaller Foot Print

Human beings have left a large foot print where we have tread and now its time to live large but in smaller footprints. Who would not like to have more time to live and less time to pay utility bills? Who wishes to live and work in comfortable and beautiful surroundings which generate their own energy so that it need not be purchased month after month? Who wishes to live in a non-toxic environment fashioned from locally available materials, carefullyand artistically assembled?

Combine this with the need for affordable housing, and with the desire of tradespeople and craftsmen, construction workers and investors to be involved in beneficial and satisfying work, and it becomes apparent that the time for environmentally based design and construction is here and looming larger in our lives.

Production of environmentally conscious building construction has benefits in the local economy because it involves the training and employment of workers, it provides an increased housing stock and it preserves our wealth and health which is rooted in the environment.

Expertise and understanding of environmental housing is new to many people who are used to conventional thinking. A different mind set is involved in understanding life cycle costs of a home, and in how we use energy. Luckily for all of us here in Alberta, energy falls on our doorsteps, shines through our windows and lingers within our walls should we wish to accept it. This key concept must be understood in order to disengage from the dependence on so-called cheap energy sources. Using less energy makes up the other part of the picture. When we use less energy we do not suffer. In fact the reverse is true. We become liberated from monthly payments dictated by market forces and can make plans based on known costs - the costs of our building project's initial construction which leaves us with the ability to need less energy  and to be more self-sufficient in energy because we are generating energy on site and capturing it for our own use.
