About the talk:
Our perceptions of "affordability" and "economics" are most interesting -- what we choose to "afford" regardless of poor economics, and what we choose to decline regardless of good economics... What's up with net zero energy housing? How does it work? What are the costs? Can we afford it? Can we afford not to? What are we learning from the early net zero houses in Edmonton, where the costs have dropped by 35% in just one year. How will this affect policy development, municipal planning, worker training? What policies does net zero housing need to make it mainstream? Who will lead this transformation? Who will block it?
