Designing for Northern, Remote and Arctic Communities

  • Vancouver & Mainland, BC (map)

ASHRAE BC welcomes Niss Feiner,  C.E.T., CHD from Delta-T Designs Inc. for our October dinner meeting.

 

Extreme cold and wind, sparse infrastructure, and an average population density of 0.05 people per square kilometre means that Canada’s northern territories face very unique challenges for building construction. In this presentation we will explore how climate, geography, logistics and culture all play a role in influencing the design of buildings in ways that are drastically different from southern urban areas.

Niss Feiner, C.E.T., CHD, is a dedicated mechanical designer with almost two decades of experience in the construction and engineering industry. As the Principal of Delta-T Designs Inc., Niss focuses on HVAC and plumbing design, with a particular interest in sustainable solutions for remote and Northern communities in Canada. Niss also shares his knowledge as a professor in the HVAC Technology Program at George Brown College in Toronto and serves as an instructor for HRAI, contributing to the ongoing development of HVAC design and education.

 

During this dinner meeting, we will be recognizing winners of technology awards at the chapter regional conference.
