development that not only provided comfortable living spaces but
also encouraged residents to participate in reducing their
environmental footprint.

Strategies and Solutions
Design and Construction
Collaborate with architects, engineers, and local
stakeholders to design housing units that utilized
cutting-edge technologies and materials. The
buildings will incorporate energy-efficient features
such as solar panels, high-performance insulation,
and smart HVAC systems, leading to reduced
energy consumption and lower maintenance costs.
Energy Usage Transparency
A state-of-the-art energy management system is
installed in each housing unit, giving residents
real-time insights into their energy consumption
patterns. This transparency identifies areas for
improvement and adjust their habits accordingly.
Social Engagement and Incentives
To motivate residents to adopt eco-friendly
practices, a reward program is established that
recognized and celebrated their efforts in reducing
energy consumption. This program includes
incentives such as discounts on rent, gift cards to
local businesses, and recognition in the
community newsletter.
These three strategies and solutions can help address the current housing
market issues and provide a better living environment for everyone.

Results
Achieving a greener future with reduced energy consumption, cost savings,
and a thriving, environmentally-conscious community.
Environmental Impact
This housing development in Edmundston should reduce the overall energy and water consumption by 35%,
significantly lowering the community's carbon footprint and setting a new standard for sustainable living in the region.
Cost Savings for Maintenance and Operations
Thanks to the energy-efficient design and materials, the owner will experience a 20% decrease in the maintenance
costs, providing them with additional financial benefits.
Community Engagement
We estimate that the transparent energy and water usage system and reward program should lead to a 60% increase in
resident participation in eco-friendly practices, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and community pride.

The partnership between beyond sustainable corporation and the city of
Edmundston should result in a sustainable housing development that exceeds
expectations by achieving both environmental, innovative technologies and
social benefits. This case study will demonstrate the power of combining
innovative design, transparent energy monitoring, and community engagement
to create a lasting impact on the environment and the lives of residents.

Opportunities of fixing the housing crisis
Businesses
Many industries are in need of
employees, yet the housing
market does not provide
sufficient opportunities for new
workers and families to relocate.
Student
Each year, our two major schools
are beset with a shortage of
housing for incoming students.
Affordable Housing
There is a major shortage in
affordable housing which strains
the health, education, social life
of the individuals in need of a
stable and safe place to live.
The construction of a housing can provide a wide range of job opportunities
and encourage economic progress in the surrounding area, as well as
bringing numerous other benefits to businesses and the local community.
