2017 BOMA Toronto / WWF Canada Earth Hour Challenge: Participation up for 5th Year!

WWF’s Earth Hour challenge celebrated its 10 year anniversary this year, which BOMA Toronto and WWF Canada shared with their own 5th anniversary and an 8% increase over last year’s number of participants. Earth Hour is about creating awareness around energy management and gives people an opportunity to participate.

The practices that lead to reductions during Earth Hour can be applied to a Global Adjustment Strategy. Both Class A and Class B customers can reduce their electricity bills by implementing these operational procedures at strategic times throughout the year.

Existing Building Commissioning (EB Cx) & Auditing: Driving Deeper Energy Savings - Free Webinar Dec 14

On December 14th @ 10:00 AM Climate Wise is hosting a webinar: Driving Deeper Energy Savings 
Existing Building Commissioning (EB Cx) as well as Energy Audits

EB Cx is an excellent means of obtaining the deep savings without sacrificing tenant comfort.  However, too often EB Cx turns into a list of deficiencies – missing key elements such as functional tests, training for persistence, etc.  The result is a report that sits on a shelf or becomes a list of trial and error tactics that do not achieve sustained savings.  A properly structured EB Cx has 4 distinct phases: each with specific deliverables that must be checked and validated before moving to the next phase.  15% to 25% savings are achievable when properly coordinated with the operation team.  With rising energy costs & available incentives – it makes sense to cut waste!

Energy Audit is an equally great tool to identifying Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM) and should not be confused with EB Cx – each has there value and role to play in a properly structured EnergyManagement Action Plan (EMAP). 

The Audit and EB Cx will be explained individually using real world examples, case studies and an explanation of the difference between the two + the telltale signs that your building might make a good candidate and what to look for

Questions will be answered, concepts explained, and tools suggested along with reference material in the proper design, selection, and execution of:

GRESB 2015 Results Highlight Significant Opportunities

GRESB 2015 Results Highlight Significant Opportunities

The 2015 Canadian GRESB Results are in and the 11 Canadian organizations that submitted the survey fared quite well. Oxford and Bentall Kennedy continue to show leadership, placing 1st in their respective categories and the list of first time GRESB submissions continues to grow (This year Triovest reported for the first time). Still, several more organizations have submitted through the grace period (the survey is submitted but the results are not public) and plan to submit survey responses in 2016.
