Delivering Sustainability throughAffordability, Efficiency, and Durability A New Era In Housing

Page 2: AYO Smart Home Brochure

AYO Smart Home is an innovator in sustainable, comfortable and affordablehousing for remote communities. We put people first to harmonize with theirenvironment and help them create a lifestyle that provides a sense of place andbelonging. An AYO smart home is adapted and designed for the people living in it.It connects them to their neighbours and their surroundings.

AYO smart homes use leading technology and sustainability principles toreplicate nature inside a home with an emphasis on air quality and renewableenergy. AYO Smart Home provides solutions that mark a new era in housing.

People First

We do not just build houses; we help communities grow – collaboratively. AYOSmart Home takes an integrated approach for First Nations, low-income familiesand seniors, helping communities come together to reach environmental andeconomic goals while respecting the needs of inhabitants.

Building Communities

AYO Smart Home provides:

• A highperformancebuilding envelopesystem that is pre-fabricated with MgOSIP panels providingair tightness andhigh insulation

• Designed to takeadvantage of solarenergy and solarheat with a passivedesign approach

• Highly efficientappliances andintelligent LEDlighting

• Highly efficientHVAC system thatrespondsdynamically todemand and wasteheat

• Integrated systemto manage andcontrol both energyand buildingperformance

Key Featuresof the Home

AYO Smart Home is committed to honouring the customs and cultural practices of thecommunities we serve by building trust in relationships. Collaborating with indigenousdesigners, AYO develops concepts and adapts homes to create high quality, comfortableliving spaces that respond to specific local needs.

If the community is a forest, each building is a tree. A home is the fundamental unit ofa greater environment and each one is tailored by the community to bring memberstogether to create positive, engaged change.

The Yunesit’in were the first Nation to adopt the AYO smart home. We are honouredto work with them to develop designs that reflect their values and needs. In the coming months, AYO partnered with the Halalt First Nation, will implementculturally appropriate homes into 3 Indigenous communities. Our smart design andintelligent delivery approach works to integrate AYO Smart Homes with existing housingsystems in individual nations. We then work together to establish necessary frameworksand funding, facilitating the long term success of AYO Smart Homes within communities.

AYO Smart Home recognizes the long and difficult history of Canada with FirstNations, Metis and Inuit peoples. We are motivated in building communities with the spiritof truth and reconciliation in our hearts. We raise our hands to a future that our childrenand grand children can share built with harmony; respecting all nations.

AYO Smart Home’s design is based on achieving cost and efficiency targets that meet the needs ofspecific markets. The building envelope integrates energy efficient and renewable technologies, helping toachieve targets around cost, performance, and durability. The Smart Home's panels are constructed easily and quickly, reducing labour costs. Experiencedworkers are not required, creating an opportunity to train and employ local labour in communities to learnhow to assemble the homes. AYO offers the complete package, from foundations to the mechanicalsystems, all pre-manufactured and modularized, further reducing engineering and design costs.

AYO Smart Home Approach

• Optimization of construction materials and processes toreduce cost and increase efficiency• Monitor and validate the performance of envelope andenergy systems through a network of sensors• Integration of energy technologies from a system approach• Energy monitoring system that is responsive in real timeand predictive• Integration and optimization of an HVAC system thatmaximizes efficiency through utilization of waste heat• Intelligent, low-consumption LED lighting with wirelesscontrol using a smart phone app• Distributed solar monitoring and control system

Studies accomplished by UBC researchers:• Six design and integrated studies• Eighteen construction, cost, supply chain and facilitiesmanagement studies• Eight studies on technical performance• Three studies on building controls, interfaces, big data,sensors• Four studies on occupant behaviour are

The key research goals include:

UBC Pilot Home For Social and Sustainable Solutions AYO Smart Home is the flagship partner with the University of British Columbia’s Centre for InteractiveResearch on Sustainability (CIRS), Sustainable Building Technology Incubator. The two-storey, 1620square foot demonstration home is fully functional and situated on the UBC Point Grey campus inVancouver. It is a research platform undergoing testing, validation, and providing data and information tooptimize the design.

The demo home is being monitored for a minimum of two years. Research results are drivingcommercialization and accelerating adoption. Data and results will soon be available on: • Construction • Performance • Implementing Potential.

Sustainability and Low Impacts The AYO smart home replicates natural environment conditions andensures continuous high air quality. Building materials are selected basedon climates and local resources. AYO Smart Home's approachutilizes affordable, sustainable, and energy efficient criteria to identifyoptimum local materials that deliver premium quality.

AYO Smart Home’s highly efficient building envelope is designedwith prefabricated Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) that use MagnesiumOxide boards (MgO boards). The SIP composite is an effective moistureand vapour barrier as well as an extremely light system that transportsand installs easily.

Depending on the climate and elements, the rigid insulation betweenthe Magnesium Oxide board panels can be cut to required levels. Thepanel connection gives the envelope airtightness and high R-values toprevent heat loss.

Key sustainability features of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) panels:• They are highly mould resistant,• They are stronger and lighter than conventional alternatives, • They improve fire resistance,• They can be recycled, reused and repurposed as soil amendments forgermination and photosynthesis, • They can be ground for use in manufacturing new boards,• They do not create hydrogen sulphide as gypsum does. Renewable Energy

Generation

• Prefabricated panels reduceconstruction time, costs oflabour, and skilled workrequired on site.

• Modular panels and otherbuilding components integratedtogether are easy to assemble,disassemble, and relocate.Building on a precast foundationsystem enables the home to berelocated to other sites.

• Panels highly resistant tomould, moisture, and fire createan extremely durable envelope.

• The envelope is highlyinsulated, air tight andmaximizes energy managementtechnologies.

• Photovoltaic solar panelsintegrated into the homesprovide abundant energy.
