Mission Statement

Mission Statement:

“A study to improve residential home design to reduce environmental impact and enhance life-quality”

Enhance quality of life in the home and community, while minimizing the environmental impact of the construction, maintenance, and operation of a single-family residential home using proven, economic, and accessible construction practices and technologies.  The project will be an inter-disciplinary effort within Lethbridge College that will allow integration with student projects and applied research opportunities.

Project Description

Project Description:
 
Statistics suggest that 50% of the world’s energy is consumed in the construction and operation of buildings.  An improvement in the design could have a significant impact on the environment and our economy.
 
The goal of the project is to design and construct a home that will enhance quality of life both within the home and in the community. Design will minimize the environmental impact of the construction, maintenance, and operation of a single-family residential home using proven (sustainable), economic, and accessible construction practices and technologies.  The project will be an inter-disciplinary effort within Lethbridge College that will allow integration with student projects and applied research opportunities.

What’s in it for me?

The Living Home Project is a collaborative effort to educate, demonstrate, validate and promote “good” home design.  Through this website, public forums and educational sessions, we hope that every interested party will have the opportunity to benefit from this project.  Listed below are some of the benefits of the project.
