SHORT - Blatchford is the largest planned carbon-neutral community in North America! This super cool project in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, was once called "wildly ambitious" and might have been a bit ahead of its time when it started, but now it's doing great!
Get ready for an exciting six-part series that delves into this groundbreaking urban design. It's an infill project that covers an impressive 500 acres and can accommodate 30,000 people right in the heart of one of the largest cities in the world. Blatchford has a green building code, a district geoexchange energy sharing system, a ton of amenities, great transportation options, and guess what? No homes will use natural gas in the middle of an oil and gas area!
In the premiere episode, we dive into the vision and witness how this extraordinary green community thrives. In upcoming episodes, we'll chat with residents about why they chose to live there, what they love, and how the community is evolving. We'll also showcase a builder crafting fully net-zero homes and unveil the magic of heat pumps, the secret ingredient to heating this community of the future!
