'We really want to gather real-world data on the effectiveness of the design as a sustainable, affordable and eco-responsible housing option'
A three-year program aimed at analyzing the impact of tiny homes in Northern Ontario is set to begin at Sudbury’s Collège Boréal, and researchers say it could be the first large-scale study on the homes’ potential in the region.
Once the Boréal research team has completed their work, the data will serve as a blueprint for other municipalities, Bouchard said. At every step, Bouchard said Collège Boréal students — the school is enlisting the help of its carpentry, architecture and design programs — will be applying their knowledge to see if tiny homes can help alleviate some Northern housing issues.“Not only do [students] get paid, but they also get to work with some field experts, to get to know some of the industry partners,” Bouchard said. “This can lead to employment for them or internship opportunities afterwards, as well.
“The fact that people don't need these massive homes anymore, if they choose not to. If [the consumer] wants to live a small lifestyle, let’s give them that opportunity.” The province has attempted to loosen the reins on building tiny homes in its recent Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act. Although critics have pointed out the bill’s potential to create urban sprawl, others have applauded the bill’s amendment to allow up to three residential units per lot.
