NIAGARA FALLS, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies Corp. (TSXV:EHT) ("EHT") is pleased to provide a further update on initiatives with its JV partner, Brieke Family Assets Ltd ("BFA"), and their jointly-owned subsidiary, Cat5 Solar and Microgrids LLC (the "JV").
The JV has commissioned Vallejo & Vallejo, a Puerto Rican professional services firm that specializes in appraisals, market studies, feasibility studies, and investment analysis, to produce a feasibility study to develop a net zero housing community for students and faculty members in conjunction as a Private Public Partnership with the University of Puerto Rico.
The JV has been working with the University of Puerto Rico on the design and detail of the Eco Community for over a year, with original design concepts from Puerto Rico's renowned green architect, Dr. Fernando Abruña, a past professor at the University of Puerto Rico for forty years and an award winning architect.
The University of Puerto Rico has nearly 60,000 students, with other collective universities adding over 50,000 additional students, on the island.
The island of Puerto Rico has endured frequent hurricanes and earthquakes and has a famously unreliable electricity service. This Eco Community will be the first resilient and sustainable student and faculty housing project of its kind.
The original site for the project was an uninhabited part of the famous Botanical Gardens. The decision was made to move the project and locate the Eco Community on the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras campus, Barbosa avenue San Juan, Puerto Rico just under 3 miles from the originally-proposed site. A link to the concept presentation is provided below, however it is based on the original site not the ultimate and approved site.

Dr. Fernando Abruña, Partner in Abruña & Musgrave Architects, said, "I am very excited to play a significant role in what will be an architectural achievement and especially pleased to be working with the University of Puerto Rico, where I taught for so many years".
John Gamble, CEO of EHT, said "We look forward to the results of the feasibility study confirming what the collective team has been working on and to receiving the final approval from the board. It will be an honor to be a part of such an innovative and important project and to form a unique Private Public Partnership with the esteemed University of Puerto Rico."
