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.

“There is so much missing middle housing being built right now to minimum standards…the goal is to demonstrate to investors, developers and builders that high performance multifamily can be built cost effectively and yield better overall financial results.”
