Summary

A new demonstration home in Regina, Saskatchewan

What is a Factor 9 Home? 

  • A new demonstration home in Regina
  • A home that will use 90% less energy than a conventional 1970 home of the same size
  • A home that will use about 50% less water than a conventional home of the same size
  • A home that features other environmental approaches

Why Factor 9?

This is the number that one arrives at when looking into the future of what the energy use of homes
should be for the world to be sustainable.

  • Future population growth: Factor 1.5
  • Future consumption growth per person: 3
  • Future reduction needed in GHG: 2
    • 1.5 x 3 x 2 = 9
