Client: University of Alberta
Consultant: Applied Energy Consulting
Overview:
This study evaluated energy performance at the Biological Sciences Complex (52,943 m²) and identified measures that could reduce energy consumption by 40% and GHG emissions by 41%. Advanced modeling tools were used to propose energy-efficient upgrades, renewable energy systems, and improved building management strategies.
Key Achievements:
- Transitioned to LED lighting and modernized HVAC systems.
- Integrated rooftop solar panels and ground-source heat pumps.
- Enhanced building insulation, windows, and controls.
Impact:
The implemented measures supported cost savings, sustainability goals, and improved air quality, creating a strong foundation for a net-zero campus.
