Project Profile
BC Passive House Plant
Set against an inspiring mountainous backdrop in the
Pemberton Industrial Park, this 16,200 ft2 shop facility was
entirely prefabricated and erected by the owner, BC Passive
House. The surprisingly simple and economical structure
achieves a very high degree of architectural and environmental
quality, and it sets a new standard for sustainable, light
industrial construction in the province.
