Peter AMERONGEN

Peter has been designing and building energy efficient houses in and around Edmonton since the 1970s. He has designed and built 11 net zero energy houses, Canada’s first net zero energy affordable multi-family project and Canada’s first net zero energy church.

Net zero energy buildings and retrofits demand careful attention to saving energy in any way possible. This micro focus has left Peter with a profound appreciation for the monumental challenge of preparing all of our buildings, especially our existing ones, for a low carbon future – hopefully in time to avoid catastrophic climate change. 

Peter is an original member of Edmonton City Council’s Energy Transition Advisory Committee and of the Canadian Home Builders Association Net Zero Council Management Committee. He is also a Certified Passive House Consultant (PHIUS and PHI) and consults on near-zero emissions solutions for other projects.
