About

Springbrook Community Association is developing a Net Zero Community Hall, a first-of-its-kind project in Alberta, to provide a modern, accessible, and energy-efficient space. Using innovative straw-blown prefabricated walls and renewable energy, the hall will cut operating costs, ensure long-term sustainability, and set a new standard for future community infrastructure.

“Local prefabricated building components with negative embodied carbon insulation is the dream for conscientious designers and builders in Alberta. Savick meets this criteria and more. Using cutting edge products and building systems to provide a simple solution to significantly reduce embodied and operational carbon for buildings is everyday work for Savick.”
