REQUIREMENT

The scope includes the design and construction of staff housing within a triplex and duplex (known as the Units) in Pond Inlet, Nunavut. The Units will be built on three adjacent greenfield lots within Pond Inlet that are being leased to Parks Canada Agency. The Units are going to be built and operated in harsh arctic climatic environment. Materials selected shall be durable and low maintenance with replacement materials that are easily sourced to be transported from the port of Montreal to Pond Inlet via sealift. All five Units will be generally identical in size and form, with the central Unit in the triplex being adapted to having one less exterior wall.

Each living space of the units contains at minimum 3 bedrooms, a sealift room, and 2 full bathrooms. The net total of each living space is approximately 150m2.

The Units will be required to be energy efficient and well insulated to a minimum performance standard. For reference, target is for the Units to be designed and constructed to obtain a maximum of Thermal Energy Demand Intensity (TEDI) of 110 kWh/m2*y and Mechanical Energy Use Intensities (MEUI) of 175 kWh/m2*y.

To complete this project, a Design/Build project delivery method was selected. The Proponent Team will need to leverage the expertise of individuals having a detailed understanding of construction in Nunavut and high efficiency buildings.
