Project Innovation Monitoring the energy use of a zero demolition net-zero home Currently, It Is estimated that only 25% of homes in current land developments will be able to reach the net-zero energy and carbon neutrality target. This is due to land layout, architectural controls, municipal lot setbacks etc. This project’s approach to retrofits would…

Project Innovation Residential Energy Storage Residential customers increasingly have the means and incentive to procure home energy storage. These devices can provide useful backup power for homes, but in urban Alberta – where prolonged outages are rare – these devices are not often used to their full capabilities. At the same time, utilities are experiencing…

Project Innovation Deep Energy Retrofits and Electrification Strategies This project will develop and execute an optimized approach to low carbon Deep Energy Retrofits and Electrification (DER+E) of two Calgary existing homes.  The aim is to provide cost effective carbon savings and low operational cost solutions to electrification within a constrained electrical grid infrastructure.  The final…

Project Innovation Deep Energy Retrofits This project focuses on Deep-Energy Retrofits (DER). Cutting-edge, precision imaging technology will be carried out by drones, and the data they gather will then be used to design and manufacture prefabricated panels. The panels will be spec’d to be air-tight, super-insulated, and fully finished with insulation, windows, and siding. Finished…
