Passive House Alberta Foundation proposes to develop a package of generic high-performance, low-carbon, missing middle and affordable housing designs appropriate for the Alberta Climate. They will partner with the Cities of Calgary and Edmonton, not-for-profit housing organizations, design professionals, energy advisors, multifamily builders and low-carbon materials suppliers. Through collaboration and integrated design processes, their goal will be to deliver innovative low-carbon plans that can be replicated throughout Alberta. In addition, a reference catalogue of low-carbon materials and assemblies that are readily available in Alberta will be produced.
