RDC has been busy with a Single Family SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panel) home in the Emerald subdivision of Whistler BC. The home will be approximately 3800 square feet. Keeping in line with RDC's philosophy of 'Building a Better' more energy efficient and comfortable home, this home has been designed to offer passive heating in the winter and passive cooling in the summer. In the coming months, this blog will keep you updated on the building and practices used to construct this house. Visit often and please feel free to send your feedback to info@rdcfinehomes. Tell us what you like or dislike and what you'd like to see more of! Here are a series of pictures from the initial demolition of the old house on site,
