We Build All-Electric Homes - Green Canopy Featured in The New York Times
Green Canopy is proud to be a driving force in the movement towards all-electric.
Green Canopy has been committed to addressing the challenges of climate change and resource scarcity in our urban infill communities since 2009. Homes and the built environment are responsible for 40% of the annual global carbon emissions, the leading source of climate change.
“Transforming the built environment towards greater sustainability is fundamental to our core beliefs. Building all-electric homes is a no-brainer. It is a key solution to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. It creates healthier, safer communities, and eliminating gas pipes and air ducts reduces the cost to build,” says Aaron Fairchild, CEO.

Green Canopy has built and sold hundreds of homes; every one of them clean, all-electric.
We choose to build this way because we believe business has a role to play in solving for our local housing and global climate crisis. Building all-electric releases the dependence on fracked gas and provides a healthier, more resilient future for our homeowners and our communities.
Dustin Van Wyck, Real Estate Broker with Van Wyck & Porter Real Estate shares that “since 2009, Green Canopy has been ahead of the curve serving as the leading advocate for adopting eco-friendly building trends across the Pacific Northwest. They build homes based on the understanding of how it can impact the present and future health of the environment, as well as the health of the people in our City.”
We are pleased to share The New York Times highlighted Green Canopy as a developer leading the charge towards building all-electric. Green Canopy is blazing a path for other developers to build all-electric, even before regulation is put in place.
