On November 9th I attended BC Home builders Association meeting in Kamloops BC.
A couple of interesting presentations :
Sun Peaks Resort corporation real estate manager Peter Nixon talked about the development
approval process at the resort. I liked the idea of "the theme" (in this case, Sud-Tyrolean) being
strictly adhered to throughout resort. It gives it that very special, almost fairy, flavor to the village.
Another one was from Telus - about theirs "star configuration", which suggests each home would have
a conduit for all the cables - electrical, telephone, TV, data fiber-optic etc - pulled not only from the
property line to the house, but also through the house. The central box, allowing to fit in all the
equipment, which the customer-homeowner may potentially want.
Good idea, why only not to extend it to the "solar ready", as it is done inn Richmond BC and many
other cites, to allow also pre-wiring for roof-mounted photo-voltaic panels and pipes for the solar
thermal system ? This would require slightly bigger conduit, but kill two (or more) birds with one stone.
