Northern Edge Algonquin is a highly acclaimed off-grid nature retreat located on Kawawaymog Lake, Algonquin Park. The team atNorthern Edge Algonquin proudly offers a unique experience to visitors, providing not only an exceptional tourism experience, butexposure to the practical modern technologies allowing the facility to operate off the electrical utility grid. This promotion of greenliving is a signature part of the experience, and has led to the operators of Northern Edge Algonquin becoming experts in greenliving and related technologies.As the facility sees more guests, and expands into other areas of business (including food production), food storage has become achallenge, requiring frequent trips to procure and obtain supplies. This both limits operational efficiency, and increases costs andfuel consumption. Northern Edge Algonquin sees an opportunity to implement a passive refrigeration system, using moderntechnologies to provide reliable, energy efficient cooling.In the project, the applied research team will produce a modernized version of an Ice House, which will be used as a pilotrefrigeration system by Northern Edge Algonquin, paving the way for this type of refrigeration to act as the primary method of foodstorage during their summer peak season, and as a basis for further potential education and technology licensing opportunities bythe company. The proposed project will take advantage of modern design, insulation, and sensing technologies to produce aprototype passive refrigeration system.The proposed innovation will enable expansion of Northern Edge Algonquin's services as well as provide direct technologylicensing opportunities.

北缘阿尔冈昆是一个备受赞誉的离网自然度假胜地，位于阿尔冈昆公园的卡瓦维莫格湖上。北缘阿尔冈昆的团队自豪地为游客提供了独特的体验，不仅提供了非凡的旅游体验，还接触到了实用的现代技术，使设施能够在电力系统之外运行。这种对绿色生活的推广是体验的一个标志性部分，并导致北缘阿尔冈昆的运营商成为绿色生活和相关技术方面的专家。随着该设施接待更多的客人，并扩展到其他业务领域(包括食品生产)，食品储存已成为一项挑战，需要频繁出差采购和获取物资。这既限制了运营效率，又增加了成本和燃料消耗。北缘阿尔冈昆看到了实施被动制冷系统的机会，利用现代技术提供可靠、节能的制冷。在该项目中，应用研究团队将生产现代化版本的冰屋，它将被北缘阿尔冈昆用作试点制冷系统，为这种类型的制冷在夏季旺季作为食物储存的主要方法铺平道路，并作为该公司进一步潜在的教育和技术许可机会的基础。拟议的项目将利用现代设计、绝缘和传感技术来生产一个被动制冷系统的原型。拟议的创新将使北缘阿尔冈昆公司的服务得到扩展，并提供直接的技术许可机会。
