Canadian housing company CABN has recently unveiled its 752 sq ft (70 sqm) modular net-zero home, which can be assembled in a matter of days and completed within in weeks. What sets this prefabricated home apart is its energy efficiency, using only 20 percent of the energy consumed by a traditional home.

This innovative solution comes as CABN announces its collaboration with the Augusta Township to create a 67-unit off-grid, net-zero CABN Community in Eastern Ontario. The founder and CEO of CABN, Jackson Wyatt, emphasizes the need to rethink the housing industry and find sustainable solutions that can keep up with increasing demand.

“At CABN… rising issues, such as skilled labor shortages and supply chain upheavals, forced us to rethink both the solutions and the problem of housing,” said Wyatt. “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, a serial sustainability entrepreneur, previously founded Greenlid, a company that developed compostable alternatives to single-use plastics. He has now leveraged his environmental passion and manufacturing expertise to reshape the housing industry through CABN’s net-zero homes.
