"CABN utilizes energy and form design to make the most efficient single-family homes in North America," CEO Jackson Wyatt he told CTV News Ottawa."It uses one fifth the energy."
The 750-square-foot model on Larue Mills Road was built in January over two days during a snowstorm, he said. Shaver says he has been in talks with Wyatt about the project for the past three years, and the homes will range in size from a small 540-square-foot unit, to a 1,800-square-foot, three-bedroom unit.
"This cluster is a scalable model for any community across Canada to increase their housing capacity," added Wyatt. Wyatt says the key demographics for these types of sustainable homes are couples looking to downsize, individuals who want to live rurally and have a more balanced life with remote work or small families.
"Every object in the home has a sustainable focus. Every step from raw materials to shipping to assembly," he said."And we hope to continue to build this business in Leeds and Grenville."
