Meadowbrook Place: CHC’s first build in 35 years
CHC’s newest mixed-income affordable housing development in east Windsor
is a ground-breaking project that has received support from all three levels
of government and was developed in partnership with other local housing
stakeholders. It’s intended to operate without requiring any additional
operating subsidy and is Ontario’s largest Passive House building.
Passive House designation means it was built with energy-efficiency in mind.
It’s more than 40% more energy efficient than a traditional apartment building,
incorporates features like toilets that flush using a rainwater collection system,
thicker insulation and higher quality windows. This will result in lower utility
bills for tenants, and a better model for sustainability for CHC.
