Take a tour of the Wilson sustainable home as featured on Rogers Television, My House show (see Rogers Television for more information http://www.rogerstelevision.com/option.asp?lid=12&rid=51&sid=2230 ) .
Here is a fun way to learn how easy it is to start taking adantage of renewable energy. Sustainable home design is easier to understand once you've seen and heard what it means. Join John Wilson on a tour of his award winning sustainable home as featured on My House, a reality television show produced by Rogers Television.
By harnessing
the power of the wind and collecting the suns energy sustainability
is achievable even in the cold northern climate of Ontario,
Canada. Situated near the top of a hill, facing due south,
this passive solar house uses concrete flooring to collect
heat from the sun without the need for a furnace. Massive
straw bale walls insulate the home to retain heat in the winter
and coolness in the summer. A large skylight in the center
of the home creates a natural air conditioner that takes advantage
of convention currents in the summer to cool the entire home,
while providing day lighting year round. All the materials
used in the construction are chemical and toxin free. This
modern home combines comfort year round, energy sustainability,
occupant health, and the inspiration of a natural setting.

Transform the power of sunlight and the wind into electricity. Convert renewable energy into electricity that can even run your electricity meter backwards. Reduce your need for heating energy by using smart windows and passive solar design. Reduce your energy needs by choosing efficient appliances and lighting. These are real solutions, presented by real people just like you.
