EkoBuilt Open House this Saturday
We’ve had tremendous feedback on our Open House at the EkoModel Home this Saturday, 26 January 2019. Paul Kealey is already fully booked for conversations with some of you throughout the day; if you haven’t snagged a time to speak with Paul, don’t worry, there is still much to come out for:
- 12.30 – 1pm will feature a presentation on sustainable home building by a team from Algonquin College
- The whole day will be a super opportunity to look over and feel what it’s like to be in a passive home built with care and quality materials
- If you’re lucky, you may get a few minutes to speak with EkoBuilt’s Paul Kealey, but if not don’t worry, you can follow up with a phone call or arrange a meeting. EkoBuilt will also be an exhibitor at three shows in Ottawa this spring and will run another Open House at the EkoModel Home in April.

We’ll be throwing open our doors from 9am to 3pm this coming weekend as part of International Passive House Days 2018. We’ve heard from many of you about your plans to attend, and we can’t wait to meet you!

Passive House Days 2018 and another Eco-Feu giveaway!
With International Passive House Days 2018 on the horizon, we’re getting excited about connecting with Ottawa area residents who want to know more about EkoBuilt’s passive house and sustainable home building options. Sadly, a tornado blighted the lives of some local residents on the same weekend as Green Energy Doors Open and we just didn’t get the turnout that we normally would.
There is another chance to chat with us in the EkoModel Home, from November 9-11, 2018. We hope you’ll come out with your questions and to experience the comfort of this super energy efficient home, a great example of what we can do.
You could win!
Anyone visiting us that weekend will have the chance to join our mailing list and go into the draw for a Cartier tabletop fire feature from Eco-Feu of Montreal!
Already on the mailing list? You can still enter the draw by sharing with us what topics you’d like to see us delve into on the EkoBuilt blog and on social media.
The Cartier unit when paired with a 4 gallons of fuel retails for $308.80.
We will also have a complete Eco-Feu catalogue on hand so that you can see the other ethanol fire place/feature options.
We’re delighted to continue our focus on this giveaway; it really helps with communicating the ease of heating a Passive House.
Please let us know if you’re planning to visit on the Nov 9-11 weekend, we’d love to see you!
