We are thrilled to announce that Peel Passive House Consulting has successfully secured funding under Phase 4 of the Housing Supply Challenge Building for The Future round, funded by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Our innovative solution, Cold Air Distribution, promises to revolutionize housing projects. Stay tuned!

Understanding the Challenge

The Housing Supply Challenge, funded by the CMHC, is a $300 million initiative aimed at reducing barriers that prevent new housing development. It encourages innovative solutions, with funding provided over 5 years to bring these ideas to life.

Revolutionizing Housing with Cold Air Distribution

Peel Passive House Consulting is proud to present Cold Air Distribution (CAD) systems in its trailblazing approach for Net Zero Ready Affordable Housing projects across Canadian communities. Our solution is geared towards dramatically enhancing the energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of small Multi-Unit Residential Buildings (MURBs).

Key Innovations and Benefits:

Enhanced Energy Efficiency:  By using low-load, electric Cold Climate Heat Pumps (CCHPs), with a novel cooling delivery method, the CAD system minimizes reliance on carbon-based fuels, significantly reducing energy costs and carbon footprint.

Strategic Implementation: Scheduled for execution in projects coast to coast across Canada, our solution is designed to specifically counter high mechanical capital and operating costs.

Cost-Effectiveness: Peel Passive House Consulting will demonstrate the economic advantages of switching to all-electric solutions, providing a sustainable yet cost-effective alternative for heating, cooling and domestic hot water requirements.

Shaping the Future of Housing

By implementing our solution in several noteworthy projects, we're not just creating buildings; we're setting new standards for sustainability and efficiency in the residential sector.

Acknowledging Our Funders

A special gratitude to CMHC and the Housing Supply Challenge for funding. This recognition of our efforts marks a significant milestone in our journey.

This Solution received support and funding from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the Housing Supply Challenge Building for the Future Round, which support innovative solutions that remove barriers increasing housing supply in Canada.
