The Weather Network was invited out to tour the floating platform to get a first hand look at the next gen technology just off Westport, Nova Scotia.

Behind the Waves: Energy Efficiency Onboard Disney Cruise Line
http://www.youtube.com/user/disneyparks Video Rating: / 5
Michael and Michelle were very involved with the design of their Passive House. They wanted a house that was beautiful, but also very energy efficient. Their beautiful bungalow uses less energy than it makes (net positive). “We can heat and cool the house with less than you’d use for running a hairdryer!”, says Michael. Using Passive House principles they were able to build a house that was efficient with space, efficient with energy, and would allow them to pass a positive sustainability message onto the next generation. See a tour of their beautifully quiet and comfortable Passive House!
