A high-performance student-housing project in Guelph that combines ESG-driven design, energy-efficient construction, and advanced ventilation.
Oakley Ridge Student Housing
Oakley Ridge is a purpose-built student-housing development in Guelph, Ontario, designed to balance comfort, efficiency, and long-term performance. Located near the University of Guelph and downtown amenities, the project offers 110 fully furnished suites and a wide range of shared spaces that support student life and community connection.
The design aligns with established ESG principles by emphasizing energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and asset resilience. A high-performance building envelope and carefully selected mechanical systems meet Ontario Building Code requirements while limiting unnecessary energy use. Social considerations are reflected in generous suite layouts, access to daylight, and thoughtfully designed common areas.
Oakley Ridge integrates environmental, social, and governance principles through a high-performance building envelope, durable system selection, and coordinated mechanical and electrical design. The result is a resilient student-housing asset that supports operational efficiency, occupant comfort, and long-term regulatory compliance.
A dedicated energy recovery ventilation strategy (SER 450s and FIT 120Es) delivers continuous fresh air while maintaining thermal comfort in an airtight building. ERVs paired with the ECO-Touch Auto IAQ, TVOC-sensing controls, improve indoor air quality, reduce energy waste, and support year-round occupant comfort across both shared and private spaces.
