How will The Canyons address water and energy use?
This is an important question, and one that points to a core value of The Canyons plan. Our goal is to become a national model for conservation, renewable energy production, and reduced carbon emissions. Our plan is to first reduce and then renew. We are in the process of identifying quantifiable goals for reducing water and energy use across the community and in individual homes. Some of our tactics will include low water landscaping, native planting, limited actively irrigated areas, low flow fixtures and other creative technologies. In addition, we will work with state-of-the-art architects and builders to implement the latest in energy saving technologies in our homes. And we will explore renewable energy sources such as active solar, wind and geothermal. These water and energy solutions are fundamental to our commitment to sustainable development.
