Welcome to Carleton University’s High Performance Housing Project Website.
The High Performance Housing Project was launched in 2009 as a 4th year engineering project for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering students of Carleton University. In 2011-2012, the project has also welcomed students from the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering program.
The project’s primary purpose is to develop systems and tactics to considerably diminish energy consumption of residential homes, and is composed of several multi-disciplinary teams. The individual groups are guided by a Lead Engineer, and consist of 3 – 6 engineering students. See the “Groups” link on the left for a detailed description of each group.
For 2011-2012 our primary clients are:
- Carleton Sustainable Design Team (CSDT)
- The Carleton Research and Innovation in Sustainable Energy (C-RISE) house
- Urbandale Construction
- Panasonic Canada
- Thermotech Fiberglass Fenestration
