submitted by saltalberta on 01/04/20 1

Part of "High Performance Design Meets Boots on the Ground" - Toronto, November 20 2019, presented by Passive Buildings Canada. Presenters: Ed Marion and Stuart Evans. Passive and High-Performance design & construction specialists Ed Marion and Stuart Evans share their experiences working on a multi-unit residential project in Tillsonburg, Ontario. Partially funded by Oxford County’s affordable housing Build Better program, the project- a sixteen-unit seniors residence initiated by Tillsonburg Non-Profit Housing Corporation- was charged with the mandate of meeting either Passive House Certification or Net Zero in order to qualify for the Build Better program. Ed Marion outlines the building envelope design and construction strategies developed to achieve the Net Zero target, while Stuart Evans discusses the challenges of HVAC design in multi-unit, low-load buildings, for future occupants with unique thermal comfort requirements- seniors! Also discussed will be how IPD and Passive House design principles were instrumental in the project’s success. Stuart Evans is a mechanical engineer with ZON Engineering. He specializes in high performance commercial and residential building design, particularly Passive House and Net Zero buildings. His areas of interest include 100% electric HVAC solutions, effective ventilation strategies, and water conservation, including rainwater harvesting systems. Ed Marion is a Passive House Consultant and sometimes builder based out of Oakville, Ontario. A PH specialist since 2009, his focus is on finding effective and practical solutions to Passive and High-Performance design and construction. His recent experiences include multi-family and Net Zero projects, as well as numerous single-family homes throughout Ontario.
