CityHousing Hamilton (CHH) provides affordable housing in the Hamilton region. CHH is the largest affordable housing provider in Hamilton, and the 3rd largest housing provider in the province of Ontario. Their portfolio consists of approximately 7,000 units across over 1,200 properties that include apartments, townhomes, semi-detached and detached dwellings. Currently, CHH does not have the capability to monitor real-time operations and key performance indicators of its heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and boilers in the majority of its buildings. That creates two main challenges: 1) delayed detection/notification if a system is down (the notification is usually from a tenant complaint) and 2) no ability to identify early energy efficiency issues. The Mohawk College Energy & Power Innovation Centre (EPIC) and CHH will collaboratively investigate and pilot a cost effective monitoring system that can help CHH promptly detect failures and/or energy efficiency issues in their HVAC and boiler equipment in their buildings. EPIC has sensor system and data analyses expertise that is well aligned to support the CHH needs for data oversight and improving issue identification and benefiting system efficiency. CHH will use the project results to implement cost effective monitoring systems on their equipment, ensure timely repairs, and address costly efficiency issues promptly.

城市住房汉密尔顿(CHH)在汉密尔顿地区提供经济适用房。CHH是汉密尔顿最大的经济适用房提供商，也是安大略省第三大住房提供商。他们的投资组合包括1200多处物业的约7,000个单元，包括公寓、联排别墅、半独立和独立住宅。目前，CHH没有能力监控其大部分建筑中的供暖、通风和空调(HVAC)系统和锅炉的实时运行和关键性能指标。这带来了两个主要挑战：1)如果系统出现故障，则延迟检测/通知(通知通常来自租户投诉)；2)无法识别早期的能效问题。莫霍克大学能源与电力创新中心(EPIC)和CHH将合作研究和试行一种经济高效的监测系统，帮助CHH及时检测其大楼内暖通空调和锅炉设备中的故障和/或能效问题。EPIC拥有传感器系统和数据分析专业知识，可以很好地支持CHH对数据监督和改进问题识别的需求，并使系统效率受益。CHH将利用项目成果对其设备实施具有成本效益的监测系统，确保及时维修，并迅速解决成本高昂的效率问题。
