ARLINGTON WOODS
A feasibility study undertaken in 2024 for Net-Zero Ready Deep Energy Retrofits within an existing community of 42 affordable rent townhomes. Built in the 1980’s, it was determined that retrofits to the existing housing stock would greatly improve building efficiency and reduce emissions while allowing residents to remain in place. Exterior building envelopes, mechanical system upgrades, potential solar panel installation, and comparative energy modeling were undertaken as part of the study.
This project was in collaboration with Envari Energy Solutions, Cold Climate Buildings, McDonald Brothers Construction, and Nepean Housing Corporation.
