  1. Remote Energy Security Technologies Collaborative Northern Housing - A Better Way -

  2. PARTNERS • REMOTE ENERGY SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES • COLLABORATIVE (RESTCo) • MOOSE FACTORY CABINS • CARLETON UNIVERSITY - DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL • AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERING • VACANT - and very much WANTED, • A NORTHERN COMMUNITY OR • AGENCY TO WORK WITH US RESTCo

  3. BASICS • LEARN FROM PAST AND PRESENT • ANTICIPATE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE AND OTHER CHANGE • IMPLEMENT ENERGY SECURITY STRATEGIES • INVEST IN REDUCING FIRST AND ONGOING COST RESTCo

  4. EXISTING HOUSING • SHORT LIFE EXPECTANCY • EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN, OPERATE AND UPGRADE • VULNERABLE TO PERMAFROST DAMAGE • HEALTH PROBLEMS • OVERCROWDING RESTCo

  5. THE STRENGTH OF A BOX RESTCo

  6. TRIFLEX HOUSING • DURABLE - STABLE, 3-POINT FOUNDATIONS • HYBRID SUPERSTRUCTURE - BIOMIMICRY - REMAINS AIRTIGHT • ADAPTABLE IN SEVERAL WAYS • ENERGY EFFICIENT - SIPs • HEALTHY, AIRTIGHT WITH MANAGED VENTING • STRAIGHTFORWARD TO BUILD - MODULAR RESTCo

  7. TRIPOLAR HOUSING CONCEPT Core module RESTCo

  8. BIOMIMICRY • RESTCo

  9. MANY FORMS POSSIBLE RESTCo

  10. BUILDING MATERIALS ENGINEERED WOOD STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS RESTCo

  11. A 1500 SQ FT TRIFLEX HOUSE RESTCo

  12. EXTENSIONS RESTCo

  13. LINKED MULTIPLES RESTCo

  14. MOOSE FACTORY CABINS THE CABOOSE RESTCo

  15. Arctic Structures and Foundations Carleton University High Performance Housing Project Presenter: N. Crepin

  16. Static Analysis

  17. Wind Analysis

  18. Stability Analysis Uplift Wind Weight

  19. Dynamic Analysis

  20. Foundation Concepts

  21. Low Temperature Heat Recovery Ventilator Carleton University High Performance Housing Project Presenter: C. Henningsen

  22. Heat Recovery Ventilators Saving Energy and Money Pro Star Mechanical Technologies

  23. Heat Recovery Ventilators Saving Energy and Money But they don’t work everywhere Pro Star Mechanical Technologies

  24. Typical Heat Recovery Ventilator Operation • Traditional Heat Recovery Ventilators run until they freeze. During defrost they do not ventilate. • Moderate climates may accept occasional defrosting. • Cold climates cause constant defrosting impacting indoor air quality. • Our new design aims to eliminate icing altogether.

  25. Our ApproachRegulate How Much Heat is Exchanged Heat Exchanger 1 Outside Closed loop air flow Inside Heat Exchanger 2 = Airflow entering the house = Airflow exiting the house

  26. Our Design: Compact Heat Exchangers with Variable Internal Flow Rate Airflow Exiting Airflow Entering Closed Loop

  27. THE FUTURE • ANTICIPATABLE AND UNKNOWABLE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE - ADAPTABLE AND MOVABLE HOUSING • DEPENDENCY ON NON-RENEWABLE FOSSIL FUELS - REDUCE DEMAND - INCREASE RENEWABLES - INSTALL ENERGY STORAGE • RAPID CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY -RETROFIT READY DESIGN RESTCo

  28. PLAN PHASE 1 • ADD CRITICAL NORTHERN INPUT TO OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS – TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE IT RIGHT & TO ADD CREDIBILITY • FUNDING FOR 1ST HOUSE - IN SOUTH • 2014-5, TEST, DEMO, LEARN FROM 1ST HOUSE • 2015-6 DESIGN 2ND HOUSE FOR CONSTRUCTION IN NORTH • VOLUME SUPPLY PHASE 2 • INVESTIGATE FEASIBILITY OF MAKING SIPS IN THE NORTH IN A PORTABLE FACTORY – POSSIBLY ON A BARGE RESTCo

  29. Remote Energy Security Technologies Collaborative Helping remote communities kick their oil addiction

  30. RESTCo

  31. Oil – what’s the alternative? Local transportation that uses less or no oil-based fuels, such as electric and hybrid vehicles, in forms that fit the north:ATVs, boats, trucks, and snowmobiles RESTCo

  32. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Issue: Batteries don’t work well in the cold Solution: Thermal management RESTCo principals have driven EVs in Ottawa winters for years by keeping batteries warm RESTCo

  33. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Issue: EVs have limited range Reality: Remote northern communities don’t provide long roads to travel Solution: Large packs (up to 400 km range), hybrids, recharging RESTCo

  34. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Issue: EVs perceived as slow Reality: Speed limit in most northern communities is 50 km/h or less Solution: Design to go as fast as needed (328 km/h land so far) RESTCo

  35. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Issue: EVs are expensive Reality: Agreed. Low production, and battery cost is included Solution: Compare costs on a full life cycle basis, not sticker price RESTCo

  36. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles (50 km/day) Cost of gasoline pickup truck: $30,000 + 10 years fuel + maintenance = $150,000 ($3/litre) Cost of electric pickup truck: $70,000 + 10 years fuel + maintenance = $100,000 ($0.40/kWh) RESTCo

  37. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Daily energy cost for gas pickup Block heater: 8 hours @ 500 watts = $2.00 Travel + idle: 10 hours operating > 20 litres/day @ $3.00 = $60.00 Total: $62.00 per day RESTCo

  38. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Daily energy cost for electric Power (recharge) requirement: 2 km/kWh = 25 kWh = $10 Cabin heat/defrost = 5 kWh = $2 Total: $12.00 per day RESTCo

  39. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Issue: Maintenance in remote locations Solution: Train local mechanics on how to do repairs, and stock spares – like we do today for gas and diesel vehicles RESTCo

  40. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Issue: Electric and hybrid vehicles don’t come in useful configurations and sizes Solution: EVs can be built to whatever size and configuration is required RESTCo

  41. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles RESTCo Mid-range electric-hybrid Euclid-Hitachi truckPayload: 255 tonnes (other sizes available)

  42. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles RESTCo Balqon medium all-electric truck, 100 km/h, 4 tonne capacity, 150 km range, 3 hr recharge Suitable for hauling water, septic waste

  43. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles RESTCo A light duty (3/4 ton) extended range electric truck (hybrid) for the North (50 km electric, 600 km gasoline range per charge)

  44. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles RESTCo Nemo all-electric truck, 40 km/h, 500 kg capacity, 100+ km range, 3 hr recharge Suitable for maintenance, service workers

  45. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles RESTCo

  46. More Electric Snowmobiles RESTCo

  47. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles RESTCo What if your quiet, electric snowmobile could float? ‘Snowmoboat’: survive thin ice.

  48. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles RESTCo Polaris 2014 Electric Ranger ATV

  49. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles RESTCo Electric Work Boat

  50. Oil – what’s the alternative? Switching to renewable, local energy sources, such as tidal, ocean currents, submerged run-of-river, wind, solar … RESTCo
