Energy simulations of strategies to achieve low-energy, multi-unit residential building designs in different regions of Canada .

This research project helps to establish the characteristics of multi-unit residential buildings that would have to be delivered in order to achieve high levels of energy performance. The insulation and airtightness levels and mechanical system efficiencies are technically possible but nevertheless would represent a significant departure from current multi-unit residential building (MURB) design and construction practices.
