Green Building Technology Network Project Funding
THE SSRIA GOAL Foster collaborative partnerships across sectors to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in our built form.
SSRIA will achieve its goal by funding specific incremental elements of approved building projects that employ new alternate clean technologies that support the goal. A longer-term objective is to grow AEC sector businesses active in the green building and clean technologies arena.
Led by SSRIA and currently funded by Alberta Innovates, the Green Building Technology Network (GBTN) will provide funding towards projects submitted by its members that support the following objectives:
Achieve a path to energy consumption reduction, 40% greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction by 2030 and a regional zero carbon built environment by 2050.
Integrate new clean technologies and/or design approaches that support energy conservation and/or enhanced building performance in actual buildings (new or retrofit).
Model, monitor, measure and analyze data from actual building performance.
Upgrade professional development and/or skills in the AEC sector relating to these clean technologies and/or design innovations.
Collaboration is a priority requirement for projects. SSRIA is looking for projects from firms with a desire to collaborate with new design, product and research collaborators, willing to contribute towards the initiative in some manner, and willing to share results with industry influencers.
Application deadline is January 20, 2021.
