Toronto Community Housing, Moss Park
Multi-Residential
Background
Moss Park is a community of affordable housing buildingslocated in downtown Toronto. It is also a Tower Renewalsite, as designated by the City of Toronto, which refers toa city-wide program aimed at improving Toronto's con-crete apartment towers and surrounding neighborhoods.
Multi-residential high-rise buildings are excellent candi-dates for SolarWall ® air heating systems because theyrequired continuous ventilation air in the hallways andcommon-areas. In addition to the renewable energybenefits, with these types of retrofit applications, theinstallation of the wall-mount SolarWall ® system meansthat these buildings have effectively been re-clad, thusreaping a second building envelope benefit.
Also, the system will provide other benefits; including asignificant contribution toward achieving Toronto’s sus-tainability goals of reducing GHG emissions and creatinglocal “green” jobs.
Solution
Each of the three towers that make up Moss Park wereoutfitted with the SolarWall ® air heating technology. Twoof the towers had custom designed 3,388 ft2 (315 m2)SolarWall systems, and the other tower a 480 ft2 (45 m2)roof-mount SolarDuct ® system comprised of 20 SolarDuctunits. The SolarWall technology was incorporated into the
building’s mechanical system to compliment the existingHRV system.
The systems should offset 85 tons of CO2 each year,which translates into a permanent GHG reduction of2,250 tons over the 30-year lifespan of the systems.
Results
The SolarWall air heating projects will improve the opera-tions of the buildings and will permanently decrease theongoing operating costs associated with energy use. Thebenefits are twofold; 1) decreased energy costs means
more money is available every month to spend on moreworthwhile community services; and 2) these renewableenergy projects then become environmental showpiecesfor their community.
