Designing super eco-cohousing, start to finish

Half Day Workshop: Fri 1:30 – 5:00

Price: $60, includes lower carbon footprint

Beginning with site analysis concepts, and moving through a participatory design process, integrated systems design (including passive solar, passive cooling, solar thermal, pv, ground source heat pumps, rainwater collection, greywater reuse, blackwater treatment, and maybe even a little food production), and into community supportive design, we’ll spend a half day together working through the nuances of cohousing design. We’ll take a look at recent progressive projects and talk about what the next generation of cohousing needs to achieve to meaningfully address climate change and one planet living.
