Geocache Description:


The Archetype Sustainable House demonstrates viable, sustainable housing. Through education, training, market transformation and partnership programs it will influence how communities are built, planned, constructed and lived-in to minimize ecological footprints and improve people’s quality of life. Two semi-detached houses serve as models of the next generation of green homes. Showcasing sustainable technologies, materials and practices, and promoting a holistic approach to home and community building, these demonstration homes provide a learning facility for trades, builders, students and homeowners.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates but is near by. To locate the cache answer some questions from the plaque at the posted coordinates and from some other plaques you will find around the outside of the house.

A) What percentage of steel in the roof is recycled?
B) How many years is the lifespan of the roof?
C) How many litres of water can the cistern hold / 1000?
D) Up to how many kilowatt hours per day will the photovoltaic array generate?

Now that you have the four answers, do the following math.

EEE = (A + B) + 819
FFF = (C + D) + 335
