Project Description:
Powerhouse Designs has been recruited to compose a set of electrical drawings for the first Canadian Passive House Premium residence. This residence is a part of the Passive House Standard, an international standard of building certification that has specific renewable primary energy demands, and in this case requires the generation of renewable energy. This includes plans for the AC and DC wiring, service connection, panel schedule, as well as correct placement for all lights, receptacles, switches, fire alarms and telephone outlets. Since it’s necessary to meet not only the technical requirements but also the safety requirements, it was imperative that all decisions be made and documented following the Canadian Electrical Code book.
Short Description:
The goal of this project is to provide the groundwork for all electrical wiring needs throughout the house and accompanying property, while meeting the Passive House Premium standards.
