Rob Avis, P.Eng and Michelle Avis, P.Eng own and operate Adaptive Habitat, a leading-edge property design firm for resilient homes, acreages, and farms. As skilled Professional Engineers with over 20 years of combined experience in project management, ecological design, and sustainable technologies, they offer a depth of practical expertise in building science and appropriate technology (solar, wind, combined heat, and power), as well as agro-ecology, ecosystem engineering, soil regeneration, onsite wastewater treatment, and rainwater harvesting. In 2008, Rob and Michelle co-founded Verge Permaculture, now an internationally recognized award-winning regenerative education company, earning praise from permaculture leaders including Geoff Lawton, Toby Hemenway, and farming superstar Joel Salatin. They share information at vergepermaculture.ca from their suburban house and yard that they've transformed into a model of cold-climate urban permaculture in Calgary, Alberta.
