The University of Alberta EcoHouse
Located alongside the North Saskatchewan River valley in Edmonton, the EcoHouse is a 3-person student residence based on sustainable living principles.
The house is retrofitted with a number of green building features, including the use of recycled building materials, an earth tubes heating system, solar water heating, and low-flush and low-flow water fixtures. The garden includes an organic vegetable garden and native prairie landscaping.
The residents of EcoHouse engage in sustainable lifestyle choices such as composting and recycling, and propose upgrades to the house to make it even more sustainable. These students are selected based on their enthusiasm to continually learn about issues related to sustainability.
The house is managed by Residence Services as part of the East Campus Village.
