###### [BACK TO THE HOMEPAGE](https://www.evepark.ca/homebuyers-guide?hsLang=en-ca)
- #### Accessibility
We want to express how committed we are to meet your current and future mobility needs. This is of personal interest to us. The EVE Park team has been monitoring interest in accessibility options to include in EVE Park.
Although, the EVE Park units are not officially ADA compliant, the overall development was designed to be easily visited (low threshold doors, gentle slopes in landscaping).The existing layouts with stairs are challenging for wheelchair accessibility, however, the EVE Park team has spent time researching elevator and stair lift options. If interested, please reach out to your customer service representative!
- #### Builder's Mortgage
With economies around the world picking up in response to vaccination programs, some people are concerned that inflation, and with it, higher interest rates, may be just around the corner.
Can you protect yourself against interest rate hikes as you plan your new home purchase? Yes you can. Working with a major Canadian lending institution, EVE Park has secured an exclusive "Builder's Mortgage" available only to EVE Park buyers. The Builder's Mortgage has an unusual and very helpful feature if you are at all concerned about interest rates. When you pre-approve your financing to purchase your EVE Park home using the EVE Park Builder's Mortgage you can lock in your mortgage interest rate (up to 3 years!) until closing.
If interest rates go down — you can continue to shop around. If interest rates go up — your rate is protected. It's an evolved way to finance your new home purchase.

- #### Building Details
**Appliances**
**Q:** **Will I own my appliances?**
**A:** Yes, you will own these high efficiency appliances.
**Q:** **Which appliances are included?**
**A:** Top of the line Panasonic and Miele appliances are included. They are some of the most efficient, simple to use and attractive in the industry. You will also gain access to the Panasonic e-store. These appliances include: an induction cooktop, efficient refrigerator, efficient dishwasher, efficient wall oven, 4-in-1 microwave, heat pump dryer and efficient washer.
**Q:** **Can I trade in and upgrade my appliances?**
**A:** This is strongly discouraged and any appliance that you wish to replace must be approved by the condo board. The reason for this is purely for sustainability! We worked hard to find the very best top-quality appliances for you to achieve net-zero energy. People bringing in their own appliances would greatly increase energy usage.
**Q: Are extended warranty options?**
**A:** Yes, you can purchase an extended warranty during your design consultation meetings.
**Q:** **In the future, will it be hard to replace the appliances?**
**A:** These appliances are standard sizes and shapes that are common in today’s condo market. Our team of engineers have thoroughly researched the best kitchen and laundry appliances from an efficiency, quality and convenience standpoint. These appliances come with a 2-year warranty. We have set energy and water savings guidelines for all appliances that will allow EVE Park to maintain its Net Zero Energy Target, but the condo owner can ultimately replace the appliances however they deem best whenever they eventually need replacement in the future. The appliances are not abnormal in terms of size and utility connections, and there are several alternatives on the market that owners could investigate later.
**Architecture**
**Q: Does EVE Park use environmentally preferable materials?**
**A: **Yes, EVE uses recycled steel, low VOC finishes and treatments, and local materials wherever possible?
**Q: Does EVE Park use Low Carbon Materials?**
**A:** EVE deliberately uses materials that capture carbon, such as wood, and avoids concrete where possible.
**Q: How is it healthier to live at EVE Park?**
**A: **Actually, there are lots of good answers to this question!
- Air Tight Construction:
- Building using modular construction and some of the best practices in the industry;
- Keeps out pollens/allergens, and pollutants out of the house;
- Keeps it the perfect temperate inside;
- Tested by 3rd party professionals.
- Fresh Air Machines (Energy Recovery Ventilators, ERVs):
- Just as your lungs expel bad air from your body, your Fresh Air Machine pulls stale air out of the house and brings in fresh air;
- Makes sure the house always has fresh, filtered air;
- Helps control indoor humidity levels;
- Helps recapture heat from your exhaust air (from bathroom/kitchen fans), reducing the energy required to produce more heat, and improving energy efficiency.
- Healthy Materials:
- We’ve hired the experts to study the science and figure out all the acronyms and material tests and certifications so that you don’t need to;
- Building finish materials were selected ensuring they contained no:
- Toxic anti-microbials;
- PBDEs (**p**oly**b**rominated **d**iphenyl **e**thers, common fire retardant in plastics);
- PFCs (**p**er**f**luorinated **c**hemicals, nonstick coatings such as Teflon);
- VOCs (**V**olatile **O**rganic **C**ompounds, eg: in paint);
- *are* recycled and natural materials (eg: wood floor).
- Loads of Natural Light:
- The EVE architects have put much thought into providing ample window coverage and correct building orientation to ensure the resident’s home receives abundant natural light.
- Helps with:
- Reducing energy usage
- Boosting mood
- Improving sleep patterns
- Exceptional Landscaping
- Nature:
- With the exceptional design of landscape architects Shiftland, EVE Park residents will have all the benefits of living in a beautiful natural environment.

- Opportunity for physical activity
- Improved air quality
- Helps in reducing anxiety and improving mental health
- Get out and go for a walk! Enjoy the trails!
- All West5 is within 5 minutes! Shops, food, friends, jobs, hobbies…
**Q: Which units include a kitchen island?**
**A: **Every unit except for the Woodfern and the Ironwood first floor units come with an island. If interested, you can upgrade to have an island during the design consultation process.
**Landscaping**
**Q: What plants are in EVE Park?**
**A:** See the landscaping documents in the
[Sales Document.](https://www.evepark.ca/hubfs/Downloadable%20Documents/EVE%20Park%20-%20August%202020%20Brochure.pdf?hsLang=en-ca)
**Q: Are there native or foreign plants?**
**A:** Most of the plants are native to the area, and all are hardy and suited to the local micro-climate. The meadow landscape at EVE Park was inspired by the meadow, prairie, and fallow fields nearby, and the perennial planting gives a hint at the local landscape context. Trees and shrubs indigenous to the area were then added to the site for shade and microclimate. While site-wide plantings may be characterized as “organized wild,” the courtyard planting scheme is more defined to create intimate architectural spaces. Both are achieved with native and appropriate plants.
**Q:** **Does this design require a lot of maintenance/irrigation?**
**A:** No. The design features low-maintenance hardy landscaping with minimal irrigation. The first two years are always the most important with any landscape design, but after that the plants will be settling well and will take less effort to maintain. The site landscape will help to reduce overall maintenance, allow for greater water infiltration, reduced use of lawn mowers (and reduced CO2 emissions from mowing), and creation of habitat for beneficial birds and insects, all while being beautiful for residents to enjoy.
**Q:** **Are the surfaces permeable?**
**A:** Permeable surfaces wherever possible, to reduce storm-water runoff and includes permeable paver stones, flagstone, and aggregate (stone) paths.
**Q: What is this meadow that you talk about?**
**A:** Outside the Courtyards, between and around the buildings, the landscape is designed as a meadow that includes carefully sited trees and shrubs. This meadow provides a naturalized landscape and helps to reinforce the ethos behind EVE Park of ‘Living in a Park, Not a Parking Lot.’ The meadow recalls the tall-grass prairie and fields which were often found in Southern Ontario prior to European settlement. Its perennial plants provide habitat and food for many beneficial insects and birds and will provide seasonal interest throughout the year.
**Q: Will there be Community Gardens?**
**A:** Space for community gardens and flower beds will be provided, but the builder will not be able to maintain community gardens. It will be up to the Condo Corp.
**Q:** **Will there be areas where residents are able to garden?**
**A:** Everyone will have their own exterior balcony space/terraces (although it is limited). There are play spaces and walking space.
**Q: What about gardens for upper-floor residents?**
**A:** Upper-floor residents will have balcony space where they can have limited potted gardens.
**Sound**
**Q: What is the sound transfer between units?**
**A:** Each EVE Park unit will have its own insulation and will exceed Ontario Building Code requirements to help the EVE Park project meet its net-zero energy goal. For shared walls, there will be a full double wall between units to limit sound and energy transfer between units. Because we have designed our building to use net zero energy, our walls between units are about twice as thick as they need to be for the building code. Insulation is great for energy, but it also helps prevent sound from getting through. It's not perfect of course (we designed it for energy, not for sound), but it will be better than what the building code requires (and much better for energy!)
**Storage**
**Q: What are the dimensions of the storage lockers?**
**A:** There are 22 storage lockers per cluster available for purchase. Each storage unit is approximately 3’x 5’.
**Q: Is the bike lockup area open to all residents at no charge?**
**A:** Yes. It’s owned by the condo corporation and is covered in your condo fees.
**Windows**
**Q: Will my windows be able to open?**
**A:** Every bedroom with a window or patio has at least one that opens. Your windows will be large, so some of the windows on upper storeys will have safety limiters that only allow them to open a few inches (to prevent children falling out).
**Q: Are window coverings/blinds included or available as upgrades?**
**A:** Window coverings are not included but are available as upgrades. Our interior selections team can help you with upgrade options.
**Q: Do you have energy efficient windows?**
**A: ** As a net-zero community, EVE Park will have some of the very best windows available:
- They will all be ENERGY STAR rated, low-e, triple pane, U-values of 1.2 or less, SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) of 0.4 or less.
- Triple Pane: Triple pane sealed units are windows with 3 layers of glass and two air gaps between the glass layers, which means our windows will be twice as thick as normal windows, and will perform almost twice as well.
- Low-e = Low-Emissivity coatings on the glass that help reflect infra-red light, keeping indoor heat in (in the winter) and outdoor heat out (in the summer). This helps from an energy perspective, and keeps damaging UV rays outside of your home (so your furniture and pictures will not fade).
- SHGC = Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: This is the measure of the fraction of solar energy that hits the window that is transmitted into the interior of the building. A low SHGC means heat will be kept out and a high SHGC means that you effectively get a larger fraction of solar energy to heat the home.
- U-value (inverse of R-value) is thermal conductance. The lower, the better.
- #### Condo Corporation & Condo Maintenance
##### Fees
**Q: What is included in the condo fee?**
**A:** Your condo fee includes general condo maintenance and management, solar, 1.5 GB/s internet, parking, landscaping, snow removal, and waste collection. See your disclosure package budget for a clear breakdown and description.
**Q: What is the condo fee?**
**A:** Your condo fee is based on $0.195/ square foot/ month.
##### Insurance
**Q:** **Is insurance for the common elements included in the Condo Fees?**
**A:** Yes. And for interest, our insurance is less expensive than a traditional build because EVE is so well built that it was deemed to be safer than a typical competing build: we have no risky natural gas, we have sprinklers throughout, and we have deeply integrated sustainability and durability.
##### Legal
**Q:** **Who owns the solar panels?**
**A:** The condo corporation owns the EVE Park community solar system. To minimize the upfront costs, the system is financed through a long term financing with a third party.
**Q:** **Can a buyer opt out of the solar?**
**A:** No. The community solar system is a critical part of the EVE Park Evolved Living experience.
**Q: Who owns the heat pump, water heater and the Fresh Air Machine?**
**A:** The Condo Corporation has an agreement with a third party NZE Corporation which will own the heat pump, water heater and Fresh Air Machine (ERV, energy recovery ventilator). They will provide all maintenance and replacement services for the equipment over the contract. The Unit owner has the right to purchase all of this equipment out of the agreement at a pre-defined price, or to stay with the Condo Corporation managing the maintenance for you. \[see Schedule B\]
**Maintenance**
**Q: Who pays for maintenance of the solar system and parking garage?**
**A:** Maintenance for the solar panels and parking towers are included in the Condo budget already. Residents don’t need to worry about surprise maintenance costs. See your disclosure statement budget to see both of these line items.
- #### EVE Park Key Dates & Timelines
**Start of EVE Park Construction for Building A**: June 2022
- Site services for EVE Park began in March 2021 for the road and June 2021 for the buildings.
- The foundations and footings were completed in September 2022, with slab-on-grade to be installed the week of October 3rd, 2022.
- Framing to start in October 2022.
**Start of EVE Park Construction for Building B**: July 2022
- Site services for EVE Park began in March 2021 for the road and June 2021 for the buildings.
- The foundations and footings are under construction and are projected to complete in October 2022.
- #### Parking
**Q.** **Is the parking garage closed? Can snow/water get in?**
**A.** The parking garage is closed in by a roof and all 3 sides have a metal facade that is porous. From a precipitation perspective, unless it is a really bad storm with sideways precipitation, it should be fairly protected.
**Q.** **Is there accessible parking on site?**
**A.** There are two accessible parking spots in the visitor parking.
**Q.** **How does the parking tower work?**
**A.** This video will show how the parking tower works:
- #### Transportation
**Car Sharing, Carpooling, and EVE Car (Electric Vehicles), Transit**
**Q:** **What is the car sharing like at EVE Park?**
**A:** Visit [www.evepark.ca/eve-car](https://www.evepark.ca/eve-car?hsLang=en-ca)
**Q: Why should I join a car share?**
**A:** There are LOADS of reasons:
- Reduce monthly transportation expenses (no maintenance, insurance, fuel or vehicle registration). The average cost of car ownership in Canada is between $8,600 and $13,000 a year.
- Convenience (you get a car when you want for only when you are using, and you don’t have to maintain or take care of it otherwise).
- Reduce your carbon footprint (saves about 9.4 Tonne of CO2 a year, or equivalent to 1.6 average home’s electricity use for one year).
- Fleet: you don’t just have one car, you have many! And as the fleet grows (and the number of users grow), you get the opportunity to start adding trucks and special purpose vehicles to the fleet. Sharing is better!
**Q:** **Why electric vehicles?**
**A:** Because they’re cheaper to drive, they last longer (are cheaper and easier to maintain), and they’re much much better for the environment.
Below is a breakdown of energy usage in London from the City of London. In EVE Park, we are replacing natural gas with electricity (from solar panels), we are replacing gasoline with electricity with electric vehicles! As you can see, it has a BIG, BIG impact. [https://www.london.ca/residents/Environment/Energy/Pages/Energy-and-Greenhouse-Gas-Emissions.aspx](https://www.london.ca/residents/Environment/Energy/Pages/Energy-and-Greenhouse-Gas-Emissions.aspx)
- London grid is Ontario grid (can define which amount is actually carbon based)
- ~50% nuclear
- ~20% hydro
- ~10% gas
- Rest solar + wind
- Still not completely green and allows for your transportation to also be green.
**Q: Car Sharing: What type of cars will be available?**
**A:** Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. We are also looking to deploy electric trucks as an add-on option in the future.
**Q:** **Are there enough cars for everyone?**
**A:** YES:
- We will do everything we can to ensure that everyone uses EVs. The mix of Share / own / lease will depend on who moves into EVE Park and on what they want.
- We want everybody to have an EV, whether it's their own EV, leased EV or carshare EV. So there will be, or can be, an EV or more for every person. But there may be people who do not even own a car, or do not want to own a car, and they don't have an EV, which means they may have access to the carshare.”
- We have to do some modeling and make assumptions to predict demand for carshare cars; if each unit has 2 adults, and one person from each unit buys into the Model Y leasing program, and half of the remaining people work and need a vehicle, we have to address those 42 people. Our models predict that having 20 vehicles will be more than enough. For other typical carshare programs, only 1 car is needed for every 15 users.
- If our models are incorrect or there is a particularly high-demand day, users can take a rideshare vehicle and we will reimburse. If this happens continuously, we will add more vehicles to the shared fleet.
**Q: If all the Carshare Cars from my helix are gone, can I get one from another helix?**
**A:** The carshare vehicles will be located at a site accessible from all helices.
**Q:** **What happens if there is damage to a carshare car?**
**A:** We take care of that as part of the service:
- Repairs, Maintenance, and Wear & Tear are priced into the service.
- The cars are insured but damage caused by user negligence will be handled on a case-by-case basis according to the terms of the service-provider. Cars are photographed before and after each use. If the driver is at fault, there may be some payments due from the driver.
**Q:** **Do I need Car Insurance?**
**A:** Not if you use the carsharing cars. Insurance is included in the carshare program. However, if you opt into the Superior Carsharing Plan (leasing the EV), you must have your own insurance.
**Q:** **Do I have to pay for the charging for car sharing?**
**A:** No. Charging is included in the carshare program fees.
**Q: Who will keep them clean?**
**A:** You are expected to keep the shared car tidy and to clean up after yourself, but the carshare service provider will have a paid cleaning company wash/vacuum the cars on a regular schedule.
**Q: Will the carshare vehicles be Autonomous? To what level?**
**A:** Autonomous driving will be added over time. Probably L2 at launch (cruise control and parking assist), then we’re hoping to have L3-4 (automated driving) by early/mid 2023.
**Q: What is carpooling? **
**A:** Carpooling is when you share a ride with another EVE Park resident going to the same (or very close) locations.
**Q:** **Will there be carpooling options at EVE Park?**
**A:** In the future, we hope to provide a carpooling app for EVE Park residents.
**Q:** **Can I bring my old car?**
**A:** We encourage all EVE buyers to strongly consider EVs (Electric Vehicles). We are working on a buy-back program for those who currently own gas or diesel vehicles (ie: ICE vehicle, where ICE = Internal Combustion Engine). We can help facilitate an affordable lease or purchase of an EV. We will also have a Car Share program to reduce the need of vehicles in general.
**EV Car Charging**
**Q: How many EV chargers will there be per helix?**
**A:** Every parking space is wired for charging, but chargers will only be installed where needed.
**Q:** **What if I don’t need a charger now, but want to add a charger later?**
**A:** You can add a charger after you move in. The parking towers will have capacity for chargers to be added to every single parking space. Talk to the Property Manager and they’ll know how to help you.
**Q: Who pays for the EV charger?**
**A:** Charger installation are included in the construction cost if you get your charger when you buy the home. However, after the first year, the unit owner may have to reimburse the condo corporation for a charger. Either way, you will have to pay for the electricity you use when charging your EV.
- #### Upgrades
**Health**
The Health Upgrade package at EVE Park takes a three-fold approach to improving health:
1. **Healthy Air** with upgraded Air Filters:
- For those with extra sensitivities, consider adding extra filtration.
- The HEPA filter can capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size. This includes allergens, pollutants, and some bacteria. Research has also determined that they are able to capture below 0.3 microns including viruses.
- The addition of a carbon filter eliminates gaseous chemicals and odours such as VOCs, smoke, and pet odours.
- We will offer the Blue Air 680i air filter model.
- Air Sensors
- Monitors presence of VOCs, particulates, carbon dioxide, humidity level
1. **Healthy water** with a Reverse Osmosis System for the Kitchen.
2. **Healthy hands** with upgraded finishes:
- Upgrade your paint to Graphenstone natural plasters
- Naturally antimicrobial copper finishes (Handles, Railings)
- Copper has been proven to be a hostile surface for bacteria and viruses meaning it naturally disinfects much faster than other metals such as stainless stee
- Copper is used in hospitals because it kills germs passively, reducing the spread of disease and passively cleaning hands with every contact.
- Copper is in Bronze and Brass, and works just as well there as long as they are not coated with invisible films that prevent you from touching the copper inside.
- Railings and cabinet hardware can be upgraded to copper.
**Security**
**Q: Are there any security cameras around the buildings?**
**A:** Not in the base package, but you can upgrade to add a camera on your rear patio. The front door includes a camera in the doorbell. The greatest security benefit in the design is actually the layout of the helical clusters: EVE Park is an ideal candidate for Neighbourhood Watch, and parking areas will have many eyes on them: it would be very difficult for would-be thieves to park anywhere without being caught.
**Q: How do you keep kids/pets off roof?**
**A:** The only way onto the roof is with a ladder.
**Q: How is the Fire Safety at EVE Park?**
**A:** The building is fully sprinklered, and each suite has it’s own smoke detection, multiple means of egress (balconies and front doors), and the Smart Home system will notify your cell phone and the Property Manager’s if there’s an alarm.
**Q: Will there be security systems like August lock, Ring, Nest?**
**A:** This will be part of the optional smart tech upgrade package.
**Q: Can the front door locks be downgraded from smart locks?**
**A:** No. You don’t need to use all the features of the smart lock if you don’t wish too, but they need to be the same as the neighbours’ locks throughout EVE Park for maintenance and security reasons.
- #### Utilities (Electrical, Internet, and Water)
**Q: Are utilities included in the condo fee?**
**A:** No. You must pay your water and hydro bills separately. However, you will get a credit for the solar PV through a reduction to the condo corp. overhead.
**Q: How much less are my utilities going to cost monthly? Heat, Water, Gas?**
**A:** Total utility bills will of course depend on how much you use, but the average EVE Park family should spend a combined total of ~$2400-$2500 per YEAR for electricity AND water, and zero gas bill. That’s about half of what a normal new house in the neighbourhood would spend.
**Connectivity**
**Q:** What is the Internet Package?
**A:** There will be two fibre-optic connections in every home giving you 1.5 GB/s ultra high-speed internet service: one in the Primary Bedroom and one in the Living Room (for fibe TV). You can add other wiring from there if you wish, or just use Wi-Fi.
- Theoretical physical limit of fiber is in the terabits, practically unlimited for contemporary use cases. Point is that you are future proof with this tech much more so than cable or DSL.
- This is included in the condo fees.
- There will be a Fiber Optic service room for each building in a central Electrical / IT room, and a P3000 in-suite junction box from Bell. There are 2-3 jacks per suite standard.
**Q: Are we going to run ethernet to each room?**
**A:** No. You’ll have two high-speed fibre-optic connections in your home, and can add further ethernet from there, or just use Wi-Fi.
**Q: Will there be building-wide Wi-Fi Access Points?**
**A:** Yes. These will be maintained by the Condo Corp., and made available to residents.
**Q: Will there be any interconnectivity between units / residents?**
**A:** No. Your space is your own, and if you need alone time, you can close the door… or go for a walk. Your choice! There will be no network connections or file sharing between homes.
**Q:** **Is there any opportunity for connectedness between vehicle to building? Vehicle to infrastructure?**
**A:** We are investigating this for after construction is complete.
**Q: Will tech savvy residents be able to customize the setup to their liking?**
**A:** Absolutely! EVE’s Property Manager won’t be able to offer technical support to anything non-standard, but you’re welcome to customize your home to your liking.
**Energy**
**Q: Is there natural gas on site?**
**A:** NO! Gas meters cost money every month, carbon monoxide poisoning is a constant risk, and our buildings don’t need any of it. We’re all electric!
**Q: Will I have my own utility meters? Can I see my own data?**
**A:** Every home in EVE Park will have it’s own submeters and you will have an app that let’s you see your own usage
**Q:** **Can I see my neighbour’s energy usage?**
**A:** No.
**Q:** **Can you clarify how utilities will work at EVE? Especially if I rent my unit out?**
**A:** Yes, each suite will get billed for their utility use separately. The best way to explain how the utility fees will work for the residents is to look at a sample bill. Residents will get this bill from a submetering company for 3 different items: electricity usage, high-efficiency equipment rental, and water usage, all on one bill. On this bill, there will be nothing about solar. We are currently negotiating with London Hydro. The bill will either come from London Hydro or from a separate submetering company, but either way, it will be only one bill, and it will be a separate bill for each suite owner.
If you’re renting your home out to a tenant then you will be able to have tenants pay directly for their energy and water use. The utility is bundled now (ie: you’ll get one single utility bill that will include all energy and water use) and it is up to the landlord to disaggregate this payment if they wish for their tenants to only pay part.
\* Disclaimer: The water and electricity rates are dependent on consumption and are subject to change based on user usage. The EVE Park rates shown above are averages that have been calculated based on best available information from January 2021. The Enercare and Reliance Rates were taken from theironline resources and EVE Park London LP is not responsible for those pricing . Gas prices assume 2022 Carbon Tax.
\*\* Equipment Rental costs for the standard gas home are based on a mid-point value of available suppliers
**Water**
**Q: How are you saving water?**
**A:** Using all low-flow fixtures. High performance low-flush toilets, faucets and showerheads will be used throughout EVE Park. The showerhead is especially neat – it’s more like a sauna, with a very luxurious wash, and it actually uses less water than lower performing showers. In the end, you’ll be just as clean and so will your dishes and laundry, and you’ll use half the water that the surrounding neighbourhood does.
**Q:** **How is EVE Park protecting groundwater/managing runoff?**
**A:** 100% of the rain water that lands on EVE Park will get back into the ground on site. We use permeable pavers (which look great and let water into the ground) and purposeful landscaping. EVE Park is designed to maximize permeable surfaces and to direct rain water to permeable surfaces to help recharge groundwater. The landscaping will help filter rainwater as it enters the ground.
**Q:** **What does SWM mean on the drawings?**
**A:** SWM stands for Stormwater Management (SWM) ponds and swales. The City has groomed trails and landscaping all along the SWM that starts beside EVE Park and runs south along Westdel Bourne towards Oxford. It will be a lovely addition to the local trail system and a great place for walking.
**Q: Will the water heater be concealed?**
**A:** Yes. The water heater will be in a closet or under the stairs (depending on your home model).
**Waste Management**
**Q: How does garbage collection work?**
**A:** Residents will be responsible to manage their own waste and to move it from their homes to the shared Garbage Rooms (one per building). The Property Manager will maintain the shared Garbage Room will move the bins to the street curb once weekly for pickup by the City.
**Q:** **How will recycling collection and sorting work?**
**A:** Same as garbage, but in separate bins that are clearly marked.
**Q: How will compost/green bin collection work?**
**A:** Collection of organics waste will be done through the city’s curbside collection program, launching in 2020/2021 (date to be disclosed later by the City of London).
**Q: Will there be an Autonomous garbage collection (ie: by robots)?**
**A:** Not yet, but the EVE research team is working on making this cost effective in the future.
