Energy Efficiency Measures
Connection of the two main chilled water networks
Connection of some independent networks to the merged network
Modification of the networks configuration
Modification of the main chilled water networks pumping system
Modification of the Pavilion E cooling tower networks pumping system
Identified measures should result in energy savings representing about CAN $85 000 of the hospital total yearly energy bills. Regarding CO2 emissions, as savings were mainly achieved through hydro-electricity consumption reduction and that hydro-electricity is already a clean energy and a low carbon producer, CO2 emissions reduction is not very significant.
