When we shift our perspective from solving problems to harnessing potential, there is a real opportunity to create incredible change in the world.

The world is beginning to go through an electric revolution, and real estate is at the epicenter. Sean Armstrong, principal at Redwood Energy, happens to be one of the revolutionaries of this movement and has designed over 10,000 residences in more than 200 developments that are 100% all electric, Zero Net Energy with many of those being low-income affordable housing.

Buildings account for nearly 40% of all energy consumed globally and are notorious for wanton waste. One person that has answered that question is Aaron Fairchild, co-founder and CEO of Green Canopy.

When the Living Building Challenge was launched in the early 2000’s many people thought that it was impossible. And in many places illegal. Two decades later developers, architects, contractors, and visionaries are pushing the envelope and designing entire communities based upon the aspirational and rigorous Living Building guidelines.

The Solar Village Company develops residential homes for sale and rent in sustainable communities that produces their own energy, food and water. They also build semi-custom Net Zero modular homes for clients wanting off-grid housing options.

“In 2020 we set an ambitious goal of becoming the world’s only (as far as we know of) real estate team that is accredited by the International Living Future Institute.”
