Low Carbon Retrofit of a Single Family into multi-unit apartment

皮尔被动房咨询（PeelPHC）是加拿大最有经验的被动房咨询公司，提供被动房咨询、培训和认证服务。PeelPHC有兴趣与亨伯学院建立合作伙伴关系，旨在促进加拿大特别是大多伦多地区PH专业知识的发展。该项目涉及多伦多的一座半独立式住宅，将按照EnerPHit标准改造为3单元公寓（被动房研究所，2015年）。这所房子有一个共同的设计，代表了整个城市的许多家庭。该项目旨在建立一个技术上和财务上可行的低碳住宅改造模式，可以大规模复制。它还可以在不改变社区特征的情况下增加密度。PeelPHC和亨伯学院都将从他们开发的知识、技能和经验中受益，这些知识、技能和经验将直接适用于新兴的低碳改造行业。PeelPHC将很好地支持其他房主和开发商实现低碳改造。研究项目的结果将有助于制定一个过程和公布资源，以促进多伦多和其他地区改造项目的规模。亨伯学院的参与将展示他们在支持建筑行业必须承担的必要转型方面的领导作用，以减少温室气体（GHG）排放。

Peel Passive House Consulting (PeelPHC) is the most experienced Passive House (PH) consulting firm in Canada, delivering PH consultancy, training and certification services. PeelPHC is interested in developing a partnership with Humber College with the intent to advance the development of PH expertise in Canada and specifically in the GTA. This project involves a semi-detached home in Toronto that will be retrofitted to a 3-unit apartment to the EnerPHit standard (Passive House Institute, 2015). The house has a common design that is representative of many homes across the city. This project seeks to establish a technically and financially feasible model for low carbon residential retrofits that can be replicated at scale. It also serves to increase density without changing the characteristics of the neighbourhood. Both PeelPHC and Humber College will benefit from the knowledge, skills, and experience they develop that will be directly applicable to the emerging low carbon retrofit industry. PeelPHC will be well positioned to support other homeowners and developers in realizing low carbon retrofits. The results of the research project will contribute to the development of a process and published resources that will facilitate the scale up of retrofit projects in Toronto and beyond. Humber College's involvement will demonstrate their leadership in supporting the necessary transformation the construction industry must undertake to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
