The Smart Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Association (SSRIA), a not-for-profit association dedicated to finding innovative solutions to reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in buildings, has approved funding for the first three projects as part of its Green Building Technology Network (GBTN) program.

...


The approved projects, all located in Edmonton, were reviewed by an independent panel of industry subject matter experts. These and future GBTN projects will be testing and validating innovative solutions to reduce energy use of the test buildings and demonstrate how those solutions can be successfully implemented at a larger scale. The approved projects include:

  • A new academic building at Concordia University of Edmonton that will use made in Alberta fiberglass curtainwall combined with vacuum insulated glass to improve the energy performance of the building envelope (SSRIA Project Lead – Manasc Isaac Architects)
“We are inspired to keep moving the needle on high-performance building envelope solutions, especially at this time of pandemic, when we rely more than ever on regenerative buildings to meet health and climate challenges.”- Vedran Škopac, Manasc Isaac Architects
 
Would be a great catalyst for the redevelopment of Exhibition Lands
The fact that there were nothing noted for that southern Northlands parking lot was a touch disappointing. Now THAT would have been a catalyst for the Exhibition Lands.
 
Usually I'd agree but they have zero more room to expand after these buildings are erected. That Northlands parking lot is their only rational next step if they want to continue to grow their campus, so it's in their cards--just disappointed it wasn't in this hand.
