At Watercolour, we are not hopping on every bandwagon in town to shout out the environmental concerns we are all experiencing. 

But we are working diligently with our trade partners to build homes that empower everyday people to influence their carbon footprint and reserve precious non-renewable resources for future generations. 

Green Energy Futures recently created two episodes on Land Ark Homes as part of their Chasing Net Zero series. We invite you to watch it here

We aren’t just chasing net zero – we have arrived! And we believe you can too.

Imagine living in a home that is powered by the sun, that charges your car and allows you to get away from being fossil fuel dependent.   

Our partners at BlueWater Energy can add solar panels to your Net Zero Ready home, and you will be able to fuel your EV, power your home and charge your backup battery for power interruptions. You will have everything you need at your fingertips as you control the incoming and outgoing power (to the grid for net metering) from your smartphone. 

Watercolour is a fossil fuel-free community, but that doesn’t mean we think fossil fuels are going to be eliminated from our lives. We just believe that there is a better way to operate your home and reduce your carbon footprint while living in Watercolour. 

Westport is a hub for nature preservation and sustainable practices. Did you know that the grocery store has a unique engineered system for its power usage and runs off water from the parking lot? Listen to our podcast episode with Kacee Kudrinko.
