Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$25,000.00
Smart Building Management
FY 2018-19
Summary
Effect Home Builders approached the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) to monitor the performance of its unique net zero natural gas commercial office space. The goal of the project is to monitor the mCHP and solar PV-driven mechanical system, and produce solid data and insights with which to evaluate the performance of the innovative product in the Alberta climate across four seasons. Monitoring results will enable Effect Homes to troubleshoot and itemize future mechanical system delivery, including operational capacity of photovoltaic, battery storage, domestic hot water, HVAC, and mCHP. This project aligns with SAIT expertise in net zero energy and smart building management, information and communications technologies (ICT), Internet of Things (IoT) and big data/data analytics. Effect Homes will use the project outcomes to commercialize environmentally friendly technologies and transform the building industry.*
