| About |
Michael Nemeth lives in Saskatoon with his partner Shannon Dyck. Designing heating, cooling and ventilation systems for buildings, he’s been mechanical engineering consulting since 2006. In 2013, Michael started Bright Buildings to help others build to the Passivhaus standard, an international low energy building standard leading to 90% space heating energy savings.
Michael and Shannon are co-founders of Radiance Cohousing. The collaborative, 9-unit housing development is designed to meet the Passivhaus standard and features R60 wall insulation, airtight construction and excellent ventilation among other sustainability features such as permaculture landscaping and rainwater harvesting. The homes meet a high standard for occupant comfort and health with the energy efficiency measures providing a reduced cost of ownership. Significant carbon emissions will be avoided as a result – a project goal being to achieve affordable, low carbon housing. Roof-top solar has been added, with the goal of making the development net-zero energy on an annual basis.
Michael delivers Passivhaus training to building professionals in western Canada as an instructor with Passive House Canada.
Michael is the vice-president of the SES Solar Co-operative, now having completed 6 cooperatively owned solar installations.
