national competition to improve the Adesign and construction of highâ€"rise apartment buildings was announced last month by the Honorable David Dingwall, minister responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC); and the Honorable Anne McLellan, minister of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). ; The "IDEAS Challenge" addresses some of the problems facing the Canadian building industry. Many highâ€"rises sustain moisture damage that can be costly and difficult to repair. They suffer from low energy efficiency, poor indoor air quality, and uneven air and heat distribution. Many highâ€"rises are designed with features which present barriers to people with disabilities. CMHC, NRCan, and other agencies have funded research into ways of resolvâ€" ing these problems. The Challenge will encourage builders and designers to apply the results of this research. "Not only will this reinforce Canada‘s role as a world leader in housing technoloâ€" gy, but we will all benefit from the spinâ€"off _ ERNIE ERNIE P effects of healthier living environments and the potential of new jobs within the building industry to meet the demand," said Dingwall. The Challenge will consist of three phases. In the first phase, teams of archiâ€" tects, engineers, building scientists, and developers, from across the country will submit preliminary designs for innovative highâ€"performance residential highâ€"rise buildings. In the spring, five of these teams will be selected to receive $25,000 each and to continue to the second more detailed ERNIE _ ERNIE____ ERNIE CMHC annouces highâ€"rise design competition design stage. Stage three of the IDEAS Challenge represents the construction and monitoring phase. The winning team will be announced in the fall and will receive $75,000 to reduce incremental costs. As well, an additional $25,000 contribution will be made to the design with the best special accessibility features for disabled persons. j To enter, or for further information about the "IDEAS Challenge", call 1â€"800â€" 667â€"6147. sutton group â€" ‘ people properties inc.
