This ZEBx event was hosted by BCIT and took place in their High-Performance Building Lab on their Burnaby campus.
This Event
Back in our Oct 2021 Decarb Lunch, ZEBx featured a near-zero emissions, multi-family, Metro Vancouver Housing project on Welcher Avenue in Port Coquitlam with a novel and innovative mechanical system. The building has a hot water loop connected to a heat pump and an energy transfer panel in each unit. Both the domestic hot water and space heating is generated on-demand through the energy transfer panel. This eliminates the need – and cost – for two dedicated mechanical systems. This Tech Demo focused on Olympic International, supplier for the panels, and Rocky Point Engineering, the mechanical engineering firm for the Welcher Avenue project, presenting this first-of-its-kind-in-Canada system to our local community of practice.
