Made-in-Ontario energy efficient building technology featured at All-Energy Canada conference in Toronto

Mar 27th, 2014 4:42 AM

STEEP Building Systems Canada and Far North Developments will exhibit at Booth # 219 All-Energy Canada (free-to-attend trade show - www.all-energy.ca) on April 9 and 10 at the Direct Energy Centre
(Geraldton, ON, March 27, 2014) STEEP Building Systems Canada, an Ontario based manufacturer of energy efficient structural panels, will display their building product at the All-Energy Canada conference. STEEP panels have been used in scores of large and small buildings built across urban and rural southern Ontario with this quick, durable and cost effective construction technique. Working with Far North Developments, STEEP Canada will also demonstrate how the construction benefits of STEEP panels can be integrated with renewable energy and storage technology. This approach makes STEEP panel buildings suitable for use as housing, schools and offices in rural, resource based communities and remote First Nation locations. STEEP Building Systems Canada at Booth # 219 will feature a constructed mock-up of the panel technology, including walls, a roof and windows. Representatives will be available to discuss: STEEP (Structural Thermal Energy Efficient Panels) is a proven construction system that can be used in residential, commercial and industrial projects as exterior/interior walls, floors, ceilings and roofs. It reduces both energy consumption and construction costs. The Far North Development’ representatives will be available to discuss smart energy technologies and integration options. As well as transportation logistics into remote or rural areas and project financing options for both private and government funded projects. A key element of this approach is the EnerSmart Power Source system which will also be on display. This energy storage solution can be fully integrated into a STEEP building and provides protection against brown-outs and black-outs in both on-grid and off-grid applications. Users can charge the battery during off-peak times and then draw on the energy during on-peak hours. Grid connected users can avoid peak energy rates and generator set connected user get greater security of supply. STEEP features combine to form a high performance shell that is lightweight, extremely strong and with superior thermal properties. Over the last 30 years, STEEP Building Systems have built over 80,000 projects in 27 countries. In Ontario, STEEP technology has been used for projects ranging from multi-million dollar homes in the GTA to a school on a northern Ontario First Nation reserve.
