GREEN DAYS ACROSS CANADA
Playback Magazine

by Dustin Dinoff

 

A dozen families are competing for the title of "Greenest Canucks" in Code Green Canada, a four-province coproduction shooting simultaneously in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia.

 

In the 6 x 60 lifestyle series for CBC, each family is given $15,000 to retrofit their homes with energy-saving appliances and devices, receiving advice from conservation experts along the way.  The family that has the greatest energy savings after the retrofit wins a hybrid car courtesy of Toyota Canada.

 

The production companies are Prairie God Productions of St. Albert, AB, Toronto's Six Island Productions and Halifax's Tell Tale Productions, working under the banner of Code Green Canada Production out of Vancouver.

 

"It's quite a feat of endurance," says executive producer Daniel Leipnik. "We have five crews out there at the same time filming."

 

According to Leipnik, about 30 partners have contributed approximately 90% of Code Green's $1.2-million budget, including Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, the four participating provinces and 12 municipalities, B.C. Hydro, Ontario Power Authority, Enbridge Gas, Union Gas and Toronto Atmospheric Fund.

 

"Instead of handling out pamphlets and hoping people will do something, [these organizations] are heavily involved in a series like this, which really drives the message home," says Leipnik. 

 

Executive producers are CGC's Leipnik and Ric Beairsto, with Prairie Dog's Ron Scott, Six Island's Paul Scherzer and Tell Tale's Edward Piell producing in their respective territories.  Beairsto, Doug Main and Noura Kevorkian are directing, and Gillian Deacon (@discovery.ca) will host.

 

The series will likely air on CBC and CBC Newsworld in the spring.  Shooting began on Nov. 29 and runs through February.

HOME RENOS GO GREEN

Victoria News
By Martha Tropea

A new home renovation show is looking for Victoria participants.
Don't worry, you won't have to labour for two days on your neighbour's kitchen, let a design tyrant into your home or run the risk of being sent to Disneyland while a crew tears down your home. No, this design show is a completely new concept.

CBC's Code Green Canada puts an environmental spin on a home renovation contest. Twelve homeowners from across the country will retrofit their homes in an effort to reduce their energy and water consumption, as well as their greenhouse gas emissions. The homeowner who reduces consumption and emissions the most will win a 2006 Toyota Prius hybrid valued at $35,000.

"Everybody wins," said production secretary Andrew Preston, noting that not only will homeowners learn how to reduce energy consumption, they might walk away with a new car .
Each contestant will receive a $15,000 grant to be spent on new furnaces, lighting fixtures , appliances, insulation, windows and other possible means of creating a more "green" home.

The homeowners will receive expert advice from EnerGuide for Houses* auditors and utility consultants to determine their current energy consumption. Plus, they will receive tips and information on the changes they can make to reduce their energy needs.
Once the retrofits have been completed, each family's home will have its energy usage re-measured, and the family which has found a way to reduce their consumption the most will win the car.

The show's concept stems from CBC's successful Code Green BC competition which aired last year.

All applications must be in by Nov. 9. Only one family will be chosen from Victoria. Applications must include pictures of the homeowners and their homes. Families who wish to be considered for the renovation challenge should visit the show's website at www.codegreen.tv, where an application form is available.

To be eligible, homes must be typical single family dwellings, originally built before 1985, and heated by natural gas or oil.

GREEN HOUSES
Vancouver Courier

Producers of a CBC TV series are once again looking for a Vancouver family to take part in a home improvement show with an environmental twist. Vancouver-based producers Ric Beairsto and Daniel Leipnik created CODE GREEN last year. The second series will be broadcast in 2006.

 

Twelve homeowners from across the country will get the opportunity to retrofit their homes to reduce their energy and water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The homeowners who manage to reduce consumption and emissions the most will win a 2006 hybrid Toyota Prius.

 

The producers are seeking a dozen homeowners from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and the Maritimes. Each contestant will receive a grant of $15,000 to spend on new furnaces, lighting fixtures, appliances, insulation, windows and other possible means of reducing energy and water consumption.

 

The homeowners will also receive advice from EnerGuide for Houses* auditors and utility consultants on their current energy consumption, a measurement of their current consumption, and tips and information on the changes they can make to reduce their energy needs.

 

Once the retrofits have been completed, each family's home will have it's energy usage measured a second time. The family which has found a way to reduce consumption the most will win the car. Each homeowner will also qualify for a federal EnerGuide for Houses* Retrofit Incentive grant worth as much as $3,000.

 

Mike Krafczyk, manager of customer communications at BC Hydro's Power Smart Program, couldn't be happier: "CODE GREEN CANADA is going to enable every Canadian to see real people making real decisions on how to apply some of the energy savings technology now available to us all."

 

Families who wish to be considered for the CODE GREEN television challenge should visit the show's website at www.codegreen.tv. To be eligible, homes must be typical single-family dwellings built before 1985 and heated by natural gas or oil.

CBC BACKS 'GREEN' HOME RENO FORMAT

Jenn Kuzmyk
C21 Media

A CBC Television has given the green light to an environmentally friendly home renovation format created by Canadian producers Ric Beairsto of Laughing Mountain Communications and Daniel Leipnik of Vibrance Alive Entertainment.

Code Green Canada is a six-part series slated to begin shooting in December and to be broadcast on CBC's English-language network in spring 2006.

The show puts an environmental spin on the home renovation contest concept, as 12 homeowners compete to retrofit their houses in an effort to reduce their energy and water consumption, as well as their greenhouse gas emissions. The homeowner who manages to reduce consumption and emissions the most will win a 2006 Prius hybrid car, courtesy of Toyota Canada.

Each family will receive a grant of C$15,000 (US$12,900) to be spent on new furnaces, lighting fixtures, appliances, insulation, windows and other means of becoming more environmentally efficient. The homeowners will also receive expert advice from EnerGuide for Houses*, a Government of Canada service that helps property
owners identify how their home is using energy and where it is being wasted.

The show also incorporates a Canadian federal government initiative called the One Tonne Challenge, under which every Canadian is asked to reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions by one tonne.

Last year Beairsto and Leipnik shot the two-part series Code Green BC, which saw four homeowners in British Colombia competing for a hybrid car. After a successful airing in May and June 2005 on CBC Television in the province, the producers began work on the national version of the show.

The Canada-wide series will incorporate four separate independent production outfits, co-ordinating as many as five different crews shooting simultaneously. Alongside Beairsto and Leipnik in British Colombia, three other Canadian production companies will lend a hand: Prairie Dog Productions of Alberta; Six Island Productions in Ontario; and Tale Productions in Nova Scotia.

"It all happens in a limited timeframe and everywhere in Canada at the same time, so the degree of organisation needed on our part is extraordinary,” explains Beairsto. “It's going to be a really fun and practical way for us to see how each and every one of us can do our part to reduce energy consumption."

The do-gooder series has attracted considerable financial support, including help from sectors within the federal, provincial and municipal governments of Canada as well as private investment from several sources, such as regional power and gas companies and Toyota Canada.

Clark is leery of TV show's money pitch
By Shelley Nicholl Staff Reporter

Code Green might be referring to money, not just the environment.If Kelowna pays $15,000, a local homeowner will be chosen to be part of the energy saving competition in the Code Green Canada show to be aired across Canada.

When the matter was brought up at city council Monday, councillors decided to foot the bill, with one exception. Coun. Barrie Clark said he didn't think taxpayers' money should go into a TV production."It's a great idea, but it's a great programming idea," he said. "We're being asked to put money into a TV production on a commercial program."

The idea is that one homeowner will be picked for the show and have $15,000 to retrofit his home with appliances and energy-saving devices. Energy evaluations will be done before and after to check for the energy reductions. His results will be compared to 11 other homeowners across Canada in the program and the winner will get a Toyota hybrid car.

The show is set to be aired on CBC and other affiliates from November to March.Coun.Sharon Shepherd thought this would be a good opportunity for a family to get the energy saving features they might not otherwise be able to.

"Many people can't afford to do this. That's the issue," she said.She hoped the selection process would hone in on a family that could really use the savings. But, as to the actual selection process, the criteria that will be available on the website is that the home be a single-family dwelling, built before 1985 and be heated by natural gas. Income isn't mentioned.

Council wanted some information on that point before giving the final go-ahead for the money.But the show is also supposed to be a promotional tool for the community. That's the mark that Coun.Andre Blanleil saw as a benefit to spending the money. "We have to look at what value will Kelowna gain by being on this show across Canada. There's good value if there's a national presence."Mayor Walter Gray agreed that showing the country Kelowna is concerned about energy saving is a good selling feature for the city.

CBC TV TO BROADCAST NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL HOME RENOVATION SHOW

Vancouver-based producers Ric Beairsto and Daniel Leipnik have inked a deal with CBC Television for the broadcast of a new kind of home renovation TV show. "CODE GREEN CANADA", a six-part series that will broadcast on CBC Television in the spring of 2006, puts an environmental spin on a home renovation contest. Twelve homeowners from across the country will compete to retrofit their homes in an effort to reduce their energy and water consumption, as well as their greenhouse gas emissions. The homeowner who manages to reduce consumption and emissions the most will win a highly celebrated 2006 hybrid Prius, courtesy of Toyota Canada.

The show's producers are now seeking a dozen homeowners from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and the Maritimes who wish to participate in this television special. Each contestant will receive a grant of $15,000 to be spent on new furnaces, lighting fixtures , appliances, insulation, windows and other possible means of reducing energy and water consumption and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

Also, as part of a federal government initiative called the "One Tonne Challenge" (a program that asks every Canadian to reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions by one tonne) each homeowner will also qualify for an EnerGuide for Houses* Retrofit Incentive grant worth as much as $3000.

Last year Beairsto and Leipnik shot the two-part series Code Green BC which saw four homeowners competing for a hybrid car . After a successful airing in May and June of 2005 on CBC Television in British Columbia, the producers began work on Code Green Canada.

The new national version of Code Green will involve a vastly increased level of production logistics, with four separate producers right across the country coordinating as many as five different crews shooting simultaneously. "It all happens in a limited timeframe, and everywhere in Canada at the same time," explains veteran TV producer Ric Beairsto, "so the degree of organization needed on our part is extraordinary. But just like the BC version, it's going to be a really fun and practical way for us to see how each and every one of us can do our part to reduce energy consumption."

The series has attracted the financial support of an unprecedented list of organisations and businesses that agree on the urgent need for energy conservation and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and provide programs and services that help Canadians to reduce energy use in the home. The list of supporters includes the Government of Canada, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, the Provincial Ministries of Energy & Mines in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, BC Hydro, Terasen Gas, Sask Power, Sask Energy, The Ontario Power Authority, Chatham-Kent Hydro, powerWISE Alliance, Enbridge Gas, Union Gas, The Toronto Atmospheric Fund, One Tonne Toronto, Toyota Canada, Green Living Magazine, and municipal governments in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Saskatoon, Toronto, Chatham Kent, and Halifax.

Families who wish to be considered for the CODE GREEN television challenge are invited to visit the show's website at www.codegreen.tv, where an application form is available. To be eligible, homes must be typical single family dwellings, originally built before 1985, and heated by natural gas or oil.

The show's lead producer, Daniel Leipnik, is overjoyed that the home grown BC version has gone national: "With energy prices escalating beyond control, it's even more important that people are given the right tips as to how they can reduce their electric and gas bills by making their homes more energy efficient," states Leipnik, "What's fascinating is that in addition to insulating well and replacing appliances that use too much energy, there's also a lot we can each do in our everyday lives, our actual behaviours, to keep our energy bills down." The behaviours that Leipnik alludes to can be as simple as hanging clothes instead of putting them in the dryer, turning lights
and computers off when not in use, and ensuring that washing machines and dishwashers are full when turned on.

Following the Government of Canada's signing of the Kyoto Protocol, and its launching of an initiative intended to see Canada take a leading role in helping to reduce the effect mankind is having on climate change, utility companies right across Canada are stressing the need to conserve energy.

Beairsto, with a history of social issue filmmaking behind him, feels strongly about climate change: "Scientists around the world are in agreement that we must massively reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions we produce, which only increase the incidence of extreme weather patterns, pollution, floods, droughts, and irregular crop production. Through CODE GREEN, we hope to provide the public with information in a new and entertaining way that will show how they can reduce energy consumption at home, where 40% of our use of fossil fuels are consumed to support activities
like heating, cooking and drying clothes."

The search for the twelve lucky homeowners begins in November 2005 and shooting will commence in December. The producers expect to be inundated with applications, which must include pictures of the homeowners and their homes.

"The best thing about CODE GREEN CANADA is that everyone wins. Each of the homeowners is going to have their home's energy usage reviewed as part of the EnerGuide for Houses* evaluation system, then they're going to have their homes made more energy efficient, and they'll qualify for a rebate from the federal government. What's more, they'll see the value of their homes increase and, for years to come, they'll enjoy reduced electricity and gas bills. And if all this isn't enough of an incentive to apply, one homeowner will own a $35,000 Toyota Prius hybrid car to complement their energy conscious lifestyle. That's an incredible deal, never mind the good feeling that comes with helping the environment," adds Leipnik.
