Join us for multiple presentations, as well as a networking social event at George Brown College, Limberlost Place.
Presentation 1 – 50 Torbolton Passive House Retrofit Project
Speakers: Adam Pelissero, Toronto Community Housing, and Kevin Stelzer, ENFORM Architects
This Case Study presentation will describe the benefits of ultra low carbon design via Passive House EnerPHit Deep Energy Retrofit Design & Certification. We will describe the project and its development through the Toronto Community Housing leadership, existing building design discovery process, stakeholder engagement regimen + approvals, design process, and construction process.
Presentation 2 – Designing Resilient Infrastructure for Municipal Operations
Speaker: Anna Dziurdzik, Pretium Engineering Inc.
The York Region Southeast Operations Centre sets a precedent for applying Passive House principles to essential municipal infrastructure. Combining a large vehicle garage with an administrative office, the project faced challenges uncommon in traditional Passive House applications—balancing diverse occupancy schedules, garage set-point temperatures, and air-tightness across overhead doors.
This event is free for Passive House Canada members.
