FORT ST. JOHN, B.C – Fort St. John’s Passive House, or Passivhaus, has run its course with the city as council has motioned to put the structure up for sale.
The house, built in 2015, was a project to prove conservation can be accomplished in the north. The house was used as an example as the city prioritised conserving water and energy while reducing both costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
Council held a closed meeting on February 22nd, approving to release the decision to the public, according to the March 8th council agenda. Council moved to declare both the passive house (9904 94th Street) and the adjacent lot (9912 94th Street) as surplus and approved the sale of the properties.
