This project will investigate the energy-resilience and diesel consumption reduction for Arctic homes and shelters through integration of renewable energy conversion technologies and the sympathetic reduction of community energy demands focused on the IQ principles of qanuqtuurniq (being innovative and resourceful) and avatittinnik kamatsiarniq (respect and care for the land, animals, and the environment). Demand reduction measures will investigate feasible advanced building design configurations and operational strategies to inform new solutions towards Net Zero Best Practice which are applicable to the extreme climatic conditions experienced and the cultural way of life of the Mumavut population. The implementation of these practices will serve to improve the indoor environmental comfort conditions experienced while reducing both the extreme seasonal energy demands and resulting plant capacity needed to service the Communities during the extremes of seasonal climate variations to be experienced. Applicable low/ zero carbon energy supply strategies will be investigated which meets the extremities of the energy demands. This will consist of hybrid renewable energy supply solutions where seasonal operational factors will be developed in order to account for the variation in practical energy yields across the seasons. This is to ensure demand-supply matching is maintained across the different energy outputs when operating under the influence of seasonal climate effects (snow, ice, freezing temperatures) and resulting fluctuations in the renewable resource (wind, solar, hydrokinetic, etc.). In addressing the energy yields to be expected from seasonal influences in performance of the renewable energy technologies, A Capacity Balance Ratio will be developed which informs the mix of technology type i.e. wind, solar and micro-mini hydro kinetic supply systems with capacity rating of these in order to minimise energy buffering/ storage requirements. The socio-economic benefits to be attained by the adopting communities through embedding indigenous installation and maintenance capabilities and capacities within the communities will be demonstrated while community upskilling and engagement will be enacted through local enterprise engagement and bi-lateral 'village hall' interactions.

该项目将通过整合可再生能源转换技术和减少社区能源需求来调查北极家庭和避难所的能源弹性和柴油消耗，重点关注qanuqtuurniq（创新和资源丰富）和avatittinnik kamatsiarniq（尊重和关心土地，动物和环境）的IQ原则。减少需求措施将调查可行的先进建筑设计配置和业务战略，以提供实现净零最佳做法的新解决方案，这些解决方案适用于所经历的极端气候条件和穆马武特人的文化生活方式。这些做法的实施将有助于改善室内环境的舒适条件，同时减少极端季节性能源需求，并减少在极端季节性气候变化期间为社区服务所需的发电厂容量。将研究适用的低碳/零碳能源供应策略，以满足能源需求的极端情况。这将包括混合可再生能源供应解决方案，其中将开发季节性操作因素，以考虑不同季节实际能源产量的变化。这是为了确保在季节性气候效应（雪，冰，冰冻温度）的影响下运行时，不同的能源输出保持供需匹配，并导致可再生资源（风能，太阳能，水力等）的波动。在解决可再生能源技术性能中的季节性影响所预期的能源产量时，将制定容量平衡比率，该比率将告知技术类型（即风能、太阳能和微型水力动力供应系统）的组合以及这些系统的容量额定值，以最大限度地减少能量缓冲/存储要求。将展示采用社区通过在社区内嵌入本地安装和维护能力所获得的社会经济效益，同时将通过当地企业的参与和双边“村厅”互动来提高社区的技能和参与。
