TORONTO — On May 11, Canadian housing technology company CABN unveiled its 752 sq ft showhome, one of four models that can be assembled in days, a product that repoortedly uses 20% the energy of a traditional home. The showhome, located in Eastern Ontario, comes as CABN announces its consultation with Augusta Township to create a 67-unit off-grid, net-zero CABN Community.
“At CABN, we recognized the need for housing outstrips the traditional model’s ability to produce – rising issues, such as skilled labour shortages and supply chain upheavals, forced us to rethink both the solutions and the problem of housing,” shares Jackson Wyatt, CABN founder and CEO.
“To us, this means solving problems exponentially, rather than linearly, introducing a networked model of sustainable, net-zero homes that can create communities across North America through the application of rapid, prefabricated building strategies,” Wyatt explains.
Wyatt, a serial sustainability entrepreneur, previously founded the Dragons’ Den-approved company Greenlid, which developed compostable alternatives to single-use plastics. Wyatt leveraged the advanced manufacturing background into CABN’s solutions to the housing crisis.
CABN has applied an Energy Informed Design strategy to create a lineup of sustainable and attainable homes. Using prefabricated components, the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom models set a precedent for how future residences could be designed and rapidly built to be energy-efficient and affordable.
