A Whistler sustainable building firm is being recognized for its contributions to a project on the Sunshine Coast.
Whistler’s GNAR Inc. served as designer on the Deerhorn Project, a 1,200-square-foot, West Coast-style cabin built on a steep lot near Sechelt.
Using biogenic building materials throughout the home and running entirely off electricity, the build hit Step 5 of the BC Energy Step Code—the highest step builders can achieve.
With that achievement, the project was recognized by Carbon Leadership Forum BC (CLF BC) as the winner in the Small Buildings category at this year’s BC Embodied Carbon Awards.
“Basically, the criteria was both the lowest embodied emissions, but it had to be combined with low oper-
ational emissions as well,” said GNAR Inc. founder Edgar Dearden.
CLF BC defines embodied carbon as “greenhouse gas emissions that arise from the manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of building materials.”
For example, it is estimated that two tonnes of emissions are produced for every tonne of steel used in a project.
According to a 2022 report from American non-profit the Rocky Mountain Institute, the average embodied carbon emissions for new low-rise residential homes are about 184 kilograms of CO2 per square metre, as determined from 921 model homes across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Embodied carbon emissions for GNAR Inc.’s Sechelt building are about 13.8 tonnes of CO2, or about 118 kilograms of CO2 per square
metre, Dearden said, adding that, due to the efficient design of the building, the total cost to operate the house is under $90 a month.
“I tell people it translates into the most sustainable house in British Columbia,” he said.
“Basically, when you’re looking at whole-life carbon, as in the combined operational emissions and the upfront emissions of construction, this house has the absolute lowest, so this house adapts to climate change.
“It’s highly insulated, and has a heat pump to cool it. And it’s mitigation, because it has very low emissions.”
Addressing embodied carbon emissions represents a major hurdle for builders in B.C. and beyond, as they can represent up to 50 per cent of a building’s total emissions over its lifespan.
In recent years, municipalities such as the City of Vancouver and the City of Toronto have created new rules to regulate emissions in new construction projects.
In October 2021, Whistler’s mayor and council approved a two-year project endeavouring to create an embodied carbon guide that would be applicable to all communities in B.C.
Touring various properties is an essential part of the house-hunting process. It allows you to inspect the home’s condition, determine if it suits your needs, plan possible renovations or negotiate a better price.
Maximize your visit with these tips. Come prepared
Examine the online ad and take note of important details like the dimensions, asking price and year of construction. Identify elements that are missing or require clarification. Prepare a list of questions to ask the owner or real estate agent so you don’t forget anything important. Keep an open mind
Achieving your dream home may not necessarily be a case of love at first sight. You’ll likely need to visit the property to get a feel for the home’s potential and determine
whether it’s right for you. Keep a positive attitude and ask yourself if a few repairs or upgrades could turn the space into the home you envision for yourself.
Take your time
Take the time to tour the entire property, including the attic, shed and garage. Peek under the sinks and inside the electrical box. Find out if any renovations have been done over the years. Take notes so you can gather your thoughts at the end of the tour. You may also want to check whether any amenities like public transportation, grocery stores and schools are within walking distance.
Buying a home is a complex process. To make the experience easier, hire a professional to help you every step of the way.

4 tips to help
your child become a homeowner
Homeownership is becoming increasingly difficult for younger generations. Does your child dream of buying a home but feel held back by high prices and interest rates? Would you like to help them? Here are four tips.
1. Consider your financial situation
Giving your child money toward their home purchase shouldn’t jeopardize your financial situation. Consult a financial planner before taking any steps to support your child. They’ll offer professional advice and help you determine what you need to do to maintain your lifestyle.
2. Establish an emergency fund
Although you want to do everything within your power for your child, it’s important to have a cash cushion to help you deal with the unexpected. Make sure you put enough money aside so you’re prepared to deal with unforeseen expenses like healthcare, emergency home repairs or a change in marital status.
3. Prepare for the long term
It may take longer than expected for your child to pay you back. You may only get back a portion of what you lent them. Be prepared for any eventuality.
4. Consult a lawyer for legal documents

Austyn is an incredible realtor! My husband and I were blown away by her professionalism and authenticity. She has shown us how a realtor should be. She is honest and I trusted her immediately. Austyn was always available on short notice to work with my challenging schedule. She was very patient and kind with me despite not knowing what I wanted to purchase. I've now purchased a beautiful home in Lund and I could not be happier. Austyn helped every step of the way. I look forward to working with her again in the future, and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for real estate in the Powell River region!

Have you always dreamt of building a workshop dedicated to your practical or creative projects? If you have an unused area in your garage, turn it into a DIY space.
Make a plan
Create a plan that includes the dimensions of each item you own or plan to build to give you an idea of how to organize the space. Maximize your storage space by incorporating cabinets under the workbench or adding shelves and hooks.
Draw up some plans to explore different layout options.
Focus on practicality
Make the most of your workspace by installing lockable castors under your worktable. This will allow you to move it to the middle of the garage when your vehicle isn’t parked inside and reposition it near the wall when your project is finished.
Think about comfort
Personalize your space by adding a radio or Bluetooth speaker to listen to some tunes while you work. Want to tinker in every season? Add insulation and contact an expert to install a heating or cooling system.
Don’t overlook safety
Power tools pose a hazard, especially to young children. Make sure they’re stored in a locked cabinet or placed high enough to limit access.

Installing an island is a great solution. On top of simplifying food prep, it can also serve as a gathering place for family and friends. Here are five ways to make your island functional and beautiful.
1. Consider built-ins
Depending on how you use your kitchen, you can add a built-in herb station, compost bin, microwave oven, sink, hotplate or even a small pantry.
2. Add shelves
Place your favourite cookbooks on the shelves so they’re always within reach. You could also use the shelf space to display a few practical and decorative items.
3. Don’t forget trim
Depending on your style, wood or metal trim, for example, can give your kitchen
a warm, rustic, chic or industrial look.
4. Play with contrast
In addition to matching your island to the rest of
your kitchen, consider adding a contrasting element, whether it’s a countertop in a different material or cabinets painted in a contrasting
colour.
5. Include electrical outlets

Do you enjoy doing puzzles or playing board games? Do you have other hobbies requiring a lot of table space? If you don’t have an extra room to devote to your pastimes, consider swapping your standard dining room table for a multifunctional one.
Definition
Multifunctional tables, often called board game tables, typically have a plain tabletop you can use for dining, as well as another surface just below it for gaming. The table easily converts by adding or removing a few panels.
Advantages
This type of table allows you, for example, to start a puzzle on the lower surface and tuck it away when you need to use the table for meals. Additionally, small pieces like coins and dice re-
main on the recessed part of the table until you’re ready to play again.
Personalize it
You can elevate your gaming table with upgrades like cup holders, a shelf for the leader of role-playing games, neoprene non-slip mats and drawers or compartments to store and sort small pieces.
