Multi-stakeholder Collaboration
Harmony Habitat’s Eco Healthy Homes Project is collaborating with inspired deep green minded trades people, builders, researchers, and suppliers to steer development of our demonstration home, our builder’s design resource and our planned building cooperative.
Through regional networks we can collaborate to further simplify the building of Eco Healthy Homes and lower production costs.
