The owner problem is concrete
Older hydronic apartments can combine gas waste, overheating, complaint risk, and limited controls visibility.
PENGAby GlacialRift
For programs and funders
Back field proof in real hydronic buildings.
PENGA needs Alberta field data from the right older hydronic building. Support can help instrument the plant, strengthen technical review, and produce owner-readable reporting without turning early signals into guarantees.

Evidence package
What support makes possible
Owner accessA suitable building and a clear question.
InstrumentationApproved plant data, weather context, and data-quality notes.
ReportingHeat waste, comfort risk, uncertainty, and next-step recommendation.
Why support fits
The validation gap is practical, regional, and tied to real building access.
PENGA needs the kind of field proof that can only come from a suitable Alberta hydronic apartment building with an engaged owner and a question the plant team can review.
The proof gap is field-based
The next useful proof comes from a suitable building, not from broader savings claims.
The risk can be staged
The work can build proof before actuation, with operator and technical review built in.
Use of funds
Keep the funded work specific enough to inspect.
Support can help collect better field data, protect comfort-risk analysis, and prepare owner-readable reporting without turning early signals into commercial claims.
- Instrumentation and approved data access for a suitable Alberta hydronic apartment building.
- Comfort-risk analysis that keeps the cold-suite floor visible beside heat-waste signals.
- Power-engineering, operator, mechanical, and controls review of assumptions.
- Data-quality, privacy, and reporting infrastructure.
- Owner-readable reporting that states what the building appears to show and what remains unproven.
Evidence stack
Early support can be useful without becoming an endorsement.
Owner LOI
A building owner confirms that the problem is worth exploring, subject to a defined plan.
Professional LOS
A reviewer supports responsible investigation without certifying the product.
Sector support
A network or advisor confirms that the building problem is recognizable in the market.
Program guidance
A funder or advisor clarifies proof standards and fit.
