Implement an integrated suite of key innovations in multifamily construction that help overcome regulatory & industry hurdles to make significant reductions in embodied carbon, and reach the goal of Net Zero operation.
Demonstrate and present a Net Zero building specification for the missing middle stock building programs currently being developed in association with the City of Calgary, MDDL, Alberta Ecotrust, Passive House Alberta, and NRCAN/LEEP.
Project objectives include:
(1) Overcome building regulation barriers to install polycore foundation and floor slab assembly products
(2) Construct a double wall & attic/ceiling, interior smart air/vapor barrier, and interior mechanical/electrical chase – insulated only with cellulose
(3) Overcome fire & energy code conflict by providing a non-combustible insulation & strapping thermal break detail for firewalls
(4) Eliminate gas service & provide 100% electrification with operational training to property management and tenants
(5) Install & monitor all electrical loads and solar PV systems sized and monitored separately for each unit, including EV charging/monitoring
