Home :: Browse by subject :: Art :: Architecture :: Arguing that past scholarship has provided inadequate methodological tools for understanding ordinary housing in Canada, Peter Ennals and Deryck Holdsworth present a new framework for interpreting the dwelling. Canada's settlement history, with its emphasis on staples exports, produced few early landed elite or houses in the grand style. There was, however, a preponderance of small owner-built 'folk' dwellings that reproduced patterns from the immigrants' ancestral homes in western Europe. As regional economics matured, a prospering population used the house as a material means to display their social achievement.
Whereas the elites came to reveal their status and taste through careful connoisseurship of the standard international 'high style,' a new emerging middle class accomplished this through a new mode of house building that the authors describe as 'vernacular.' Peter Ennals is a professor emeritus of Geography and Environment at Mount Allison University. Canada News: Peterborough house will be green to the extreme. Zoom A composting station that keeps human waste in the basement for a year is just one part of what it takes to build Canada’s greenest home.
The Endeavour Centre, a small non-for-profit trade school in Peterborough, is taking on the challenge of building a home according to the Living Building standard, one of the hardest green-building certifications to achieve. No builder in Canada has done it yet. It requires entirely new approaches to building and pushes the boundaries in terms of what is considered possible for a building, according to industry experts. The 2,000-square foot, two-storey home will sit at 136 ½ James Street in Peterborough next to a wood-sided house that was built in1894.
That includes the composting system that converts toilet waste from foam flush toilets into fertilizer — without producing any odours. The house will also have solar panels on the front and south-facing roof and a rain water collection and treatment system to keep inhabitants showered and hydrated. Project aims to build Canada's Greenest Home on James St. in East City. East City could be home to the greenest house in Canada this year. That's the goal of Peterborough's Endeavour Centre, which will put 20 local students to work, building a two-storey, 2,000-square-foot, sustainable house dubbed "Canada's Greenest Home" on James St. "Our goal with Canada's Greenest Home is to make substantial improvements in every measurable aspect of this home's performance, including net zero energy use, while keeping it affordable, accessible and beautiful," Endeavour Centre director Chris Magwood said. Interest in green building has been increasing exponentially over the past decade, Magwood explained, but the training of new builders to design, contract and build highly sustainable homes has not kept pace.
"We teach students new construction techniques by undertaking a full project with them. "It represents the meeting of high ideals with practical, achievable solutions," he said. "It's possible to be very sustainable and very comfortable at the same time. "
