Ecoburbia, as an urban community and microfarm, is a living demonstration of our intention that we share with others.
But just what is it?
Ecoburbia is part urban infill development, where we have converted one house into four self-contained living units, tripling the population density without adding to the house’s footprint.
Ecoburbia is part urban farm with chickens, goats, compost and fruit trees, plus a large shared veggie patch.
Ecoburbia is part demonstration sustainable house, with cutting edge energy systems, water collection and dispersal systems and innovative passive solar design.

During this session we will cover the basics of good solar house design using an easy to understand model house. We will cover orientation, ventilation, thermal mass, insulation, window furnishings . . . . and more!You will then have the opportunity to apply that knowledge to evaluate how solar passive your current home is, and what you can do about it. You will be able to evaluate house plans and maybe make some of your own.
You will leave this session with a list of some simple changes you can make (even many that will cost you next to nothing) to make your home more sustainable
The $5 registration fee enrolls you in this course. After we have finished you will be asked to pay in keeping with your circumstances from $20 - $50.
