Description

An opportunity was presented to study the issue of cold, damp, uncomfortable and unhealthy homes and to implement improvements using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a platform. Advancing the typical residential HVAC system from a traditional forced air system to a hybrid forced air / hydronic radiant system created comfort, improved air quality, reduced energy consumption and costs, and reduced the risk of fire-related deaths. North American Indigenous Ecological Knowledge of using radiant heat from rocks to heat the Tipi can play a significant role in improving comfort and energy efficiency in the existing North American housing stock. A simple and well-designed HVAC shift created a ‘Just Transition’ to help to meet the 2030 and 2050 sustainability goals outlined in the Paris Accord.
