The primary purpose of this project is to demonstrate a highly energy efficient architecturally appealing “smart” curtain wall. This is one simple building block in producing a geographic agnostic, locally achievable skill level construction methodology that can be applied to the North bringing economic activity and jobs to Northern remote communities. The long term vision is to have 80% of the value add performed in-situ by local remote community residents with minimal training rather than relying on materials and skills from the south. The end goal is to promote the thematic areas of food security, alternative energy and housing research whilst utilizing construction techniques that can be taught and perfected in the North.
The HEE Wall System is the first task of combining advanced building materials –creating very high R-values 80 in 5.5 inch thick wall with the incorporation of an radiant heat capillary mat process, for low delta radiant heating . Whether incorporated into residential homes, work spaces or even a greenhouses, the HEE Wall System should ensure a comfortable environment for people, pets and plants, even in the most hostile environments.

Currently there are no Yukon based companies that can offer this type of services without contracting to a southern-based company. The goal is to train local communities to produce these structures and produce them with limited skills by utilizing novel processes and training methodologies. The end product will meet or exceed best practices in any geographic area worldwide.
