Summary

“Whether you are looking at a new home or planning on renovating your existing home, there are many ways to accomplish energy savings,” said Andrew Mills, Eco Solar Tour Society president.

With Blatchford being one of Edmonton’s key sustainable and green neighbourhoods, it makes sense to put a bit of a spotlight on it, said Mills. Sites 5, 6 and 7 — sites 5 and 6 are only on the first day of the tour — highlight what the former municipal airport site is being transformed into.

Site 5, Blatchford’s District Energy Sharing System — now entering its sixth year of delivering renewable energy to homes — provides the energy for hot water, heating and cooling to homes. At full Blatchford buildout of this system, it’s anticipated to be one of the largest ambient systems in Canada with a masterplan of 14 million square feet of connected buildings.
