Michael Lio was invited to speak at the 2015 Smart Net Zero Resilient Buildings and Communities Symposium organized by Concordia University’s Centre for Zero Energy Building Studies, the International Initiative for a Sustainable Built Environment and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation on August 20, 2015. He presented Affordable Net Zero Housing Communities in Canada: The Owens Corning Canada National Net Zero Project.  Michael described the project including the technologies each production builder has adopted. He spoke to the need for simplicity as net zero housing moves towards mainstream.  Michael also addressed the need to consider the homeowner’s capacity to act as a property manager for this new type of housing.
