Canada's construction news
DON PROCTER — Delegates to the Buildings Show’s exhibitors’ hall in Toronto get an education on numerous products.
“We’ve eliminated 3.1 kWh of electricity and 1.3 million cubic metres of natural gas totalling a 36 per cent reduction on greenhouse gas emissions even before we have done any fuel switching,” Josh Lewis, vice-president of energy engineering with Nerva Energy Group Inc. told a seminar on the project at The Buildings Show 2024 recently in Toronto.
He added in the average rental building, 10 per cent or less of the tenants are responsible for 40 per cent of the heating and cooling simply through the misuse of windows and doors. He told the audience that optimization of equipment, rather than equipment conversion or fuel switching, is the best starting point to improving a building’s energy performance “because we have to get the waste out first.”
Nerva has received numerous awards for the 85-building project, including the energy project of the year in Canada from the Association of Energy Engineers and it made the list of the Clean50 top projects, which recognizes companies for sustainability and clean capitalism in Canada. It is the second time in four years Nerva has made Clean50’s list.
