Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$25,000.00
Arctic House
FY 2011-12
Summary
SAIT Polytechnic is actively pursuing research and development in the field of Net Zero Energy Housing. The overarching goals of this direction aim to address deficiencies and inefficiencies in cost reduction, skills and technology development, and market access. Net Zero homes produce as much energy as they consume while optimizing water and waste consumption, maintaining high levels of indoor air quality and improved envelope durability. SAIT's Green Building Technology program was approached by a small company in the Northwest Territories to aid in reaching their goals of designing and building a highly efficient and affordable home for the Arctic circle and sub-Arctic regions.
