Climate Proof Canada’s National Adaptation Summit (Post two of two.) Early thoughts about this weeks summit, held in Ottawa: 6. Research and Development There was strong support for enhanced research and development initiatives to advance building technologies that improve energy efficiency. The Passive House standard represents one such technology, and promoting R&D in this area could lead to innovations that make it more accessible and widely adopted. 7. Addressing Housing Affordability Through Energy Efficiency: The summit addressed the dual challenges of housing affordability and sustainability. Implementing the Passive House standard in affordable housing projects could help reduce long-term energy costs for residents, making it a critical component in addressing housing challenges in Canada. 8.. Climate Action and Carbon Neutrality Goals: The discussions reinforced the urgency of meeting Canada’s climate action targets. Implementing energy-efficient standards like Passive House is critical in achieving net-zero emissions in the building sector, which was a major focus of the summit. From my perspective as Passive House Canada CEO, the National Adaptation Summit fostered a dialogue on enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in Canadian construction. In my discussion, the Passive House standard emerged as a vital model to promote energy-efficient building practices, protect against climate impacts, and advance Canada’s climate goals. The outcomes from the summit suggest a coordinated effort toward incorporating these practices at multiple levels of government and within diverse communities across Canada

The Peak | Vancouver, BC With a growing population, limited increases in income, and a limited supply of new, purpose-built rental housing in recent decades, the need for rental housing has grown significantly. To keep the project affordable, profitable and liveable throughout its life, The Peak was designed and built to meet the voluntary energy requirements of the Passive House Institute. The result is a highly durable building with lower operating energy consumption, lower building maintenance, and improved occupant comfort.
