Northern Edge Algonquin is a highly acclaimed off-grid nature retreat located on Kawawaymog Lake, Algonquin Park. The team atx000D
Northern Edge Algonquin proudly offers a unique experience to visitors, providing not only an exceptional tourism experience, butx000D
exposure to the practical modern technologies allowing the facility to operate off the electrical utility grid. This promotion of greenx000D
living is a signature part of the experience, and has led to the operators of Northern Edge Algonquin becoming experts in greenx000D
living and related technologies.x000D
As the facility sees more guests, and expands into other areas of business (including food production), food storage has become ax000D
challenge, requiring frequent trips to procure and obtain supplies. This both limits operational efficiency, and increases costs andx000D
fuel consumption. Northern Edge Algonquin sees an opportunity to implement a passive refrigeration system, using modernx000D
technologies to provide reliable, energy efficient cooling.x000D
In the project, the applied research team will produce a modernized version of an Ice House, which will be used as a pilotx000D
refrigeration system by Northern Edge Algonquin, paving the way for this type of refrigeration to act as the primary method of foodx000D
storage during their summer peak season, and as a basis for further potential education and technology licensing opportunities byx000D
the company. The proposed project will take advantage of modern design, insulation, and sensing technologies to produce ax000D
prototype passive refrigeration system.x000D
The proposed innovation will enable expansion of Northern Edge Algonquin's services as well as provide direct technologyx000D
licensing opportunities.
