SUMMARY:Off-Grid Housing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will consist of a two hour presentation followed by a tour of a nearby modern off-grid home. \nSome of the topics the presentation will include: \no Introduction to off-grid \no Types of off-grid systems \no Off-grid for new construction \no Off-grid as a retrofit for existing houses \no Components of off-grid systems \no Energy use reduction techniques \no Trade-off choices \no Cost of some sample off-grid packages \no Discussion of off-grid living \no Discussion of the house that will be toured \no Ample time for questions \nThe tour will allow participants to see an off-grid house in actions. On the main level it will become apparent that\, in this house\, off-grid living looks a lot like on-grid living. In the utility room of the lower lever you will get to see the inverters\, charge controllers\, batteries and so on that make the system go. This home includes a geodesic dome greenhouse where vegetables are grown both summer and winter without the use of fossil fuels for heating and the greenhouse will be part of the tour. \nBecause of space and time constraints\, the tour will be limited to 40 people. Upon arriving at the library you can register for the tour and it will be first-come first served. \nThe primary presenter at this workshop will be Cam Farnell\, who has been living happily off-grid for five years and has no plans to go back. \nA $20.00 donation is recommended for this event. \nLocation: Tantallon Public Library \nFor more information please contact: \ninfo@transitionbay.ca
