The Building Technologies Program (BTP) encourages and promotes energy efficient technologies which strive to dramatically reduce energy consumption and waste in residential and commercial complexes.
Indoor air quality is one of the prime areas of focus. Poor indoor air quality is caused by indoor and outdoor pollutants in and near buildings, transport pollution absorbed by ventilation systems, and emissions from construction materials among others. Poor indoor quality is detrimental to health and reduces productivity of occupants, even in their own homes.
As windows become more efficient leading to closer building envelopes, the need for efficient ventilation arises. Increased and better ventilation leads to improved air quality
but at the penalty of increased energy. To illustrate, fresh hot air drawn in from outside needs to be dehumidified and cooled before being let into the system, all of which consumes energy.
