Client: University of Alberta
Consultant: Applied Energy Consulting
Overview:
AEC developed a detailed energy model for the Student Union Building to identify energy conservation measures (ECMs). The study analyzed envelope retrofits, lighting upgrades, and on-site renewable energy options.
Key Outcomes:
- Energy Savings: Modeled a 57% reduction in energy use.
- GHG Reductions: Reduced emissions by 59%.
- Upgrades: Focused on triple-glazed windows, LED lighting, and a 350 kW rooftop solar PV system.
Impact:
The study provided actionable steps toward achieving net-zero performance.
