Defined by sun floods, through views, and candy-coloured stairwells, the new, six-storey Passive House Skeena residence provides 220 modified traditional bedrooms and support amenities. Completing an ensemble of buildings surrounding the Commons lawn at UBC Okanagan campus in Kelowna, BC, the residence provides easy access to outdoor green space for picnics, fitness, or just hanging around.

Skeena住宅是加拿大第一栋、北美第二栋被动式宿舍。它将成为UBCO生活实验室的一部分。作为校园中数栋木框架宿舍之一，它为研究被动房在加拿大的表现创造了独特的条件。建筑中设有综合监测系统，可以获取Skeena的能耗和住户舒适度数据，并将其与周边获得LEED金牌认证、满足BC建筑规范的建筑进行对比。

Skeena Residence is the first Passive House dormitory in Canada and the second in North America. It will be part of UBCO’s Living Laboratory initiative. As one of several wood frame dormitories on campus, it creates a unique opportunity for studying Passive House performance in Canada. The building has been fitted with a comprehensive monitoring system which will gather data to compare Skeena’s energy use and occupant comfort with neighbouring buildings built to LEED Gold and BC Building code standards.
