Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation

Over the years, Canada has become a leader in housing technology and promoting environmentally sensitive solutions to housing. "Healthy Housing" is a CMHC vision of housing that promotes the health of its occupants while protecting the environment and preserving our natural resources. The roof of this Toronto winner of a national Healthy Housing competition will generate electricity from solar panels and will also direct rain and snow to a filtering system in the basement and then to the kitchen and bathrooms. This house is not connected to any municipal services -- it is completely self-sufficient.
