It doesn’t look like there’s enough room for three houses at the Construction Association of P.E.I.’s building site next to Charlottetown Rural High School — but there is. That’s because the houses are tiny homes.
“We have two 300-square-footers plus one 500-square-footer,” association general manager Sam Sanderson told CBC News on a recent visit.
The tiny homes will eventually become affordable housing as part of a provincial project. Right now, they’re still being fitted with the most energy-efficient hardware possible.
Each building is net-zero ready, said Sanderson.
“In the simplest terms, it’s very easy to heat. It uses very little energy to heat and cool, and it’s good for the environment,” he explained.
