Understanding Energy and Air Quality in High Performance Residential Buildings
Red Deer Polytechnic (RDP) is committed to advancing knowledge in high-performance building practices, with a focus on Passive House and Net Zero Construction.
This project will leverage advanced metering technology by deploying sensors in the Studio Residence Building, a newly constructed facility that meets LEED Gold standards. Despite its innovative design, the building has faced operational challenges, particularly with solar heat gains. By closely monitoring energy production, usage, and indoor air quality, the project aims to generate data-driven insights that will address these challenges and guide the adoption of green building practices across Alberta.
