The Humber community may have noticed that construction work on the exterior of the North Campus Building NX Passive House retrofit project stopped in early May. Unfortunately, members of the Sheet Metal Works and Roofers Local 30 have been on strike since, and it has severely impacted the schedule of completing the exterior work on this building. Fortunately, the building is water tight at this point, and only asthetics related to the siding and the new canopy remain to be completed, but our schedule of end of June completion has been pushed back. It's completely out of Humber's control, but we remain hopefull the two sides will negotiate an agreement and get back to work soon. We will post an update once we receive confirmation from our general contractor.

Work continues inside by different contractors to finish the mechanical system conversion, and to ready the building for the final Passive House test on the August long weekend.

As the first net zero carbon retrofit building in Canada, and hopefully the first Passive House certified retrofit, we are receiving lots of interest from across North America from other organizations looking for ways to reduce carbon emissions to meet provincial, federal and Paris Accord targets. We believe this project is an example of Humber delivering "national leadership in sustainable campuses" as prescribed in the Strategic Plan.
