Energy efficiency project (ESE Contract)

The energy efficiency project implemented by the CISSS-MO falls within a sustainable development approach. The measures selected for this $7M project include lighting modernisation, Kitchen hoods modulating systems and solar heat recovery, as well as the introduction of heatpumping, a very high-energy efficiency method.

Buildings:

1 Hospital, 2 CLSCs and 3 long-term care centers

Payback period:

6,8 years

Challenges:

Integration of two different building automation control systems (Trane and Delta), as well as the implementation of new HVAC equipments and operational methods.

Enertech was given the mandate to manage the implementation of the energy saving measures and planned outages during construction. To ensure the measures’ quality, compliance and performance, Enertech has developed a Measurement and Verification Plan (M & V) to meet the requirements of the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). This M & V plan will become the cornerstone of this type of performance contract that guarantees a 6.8 year return on investment. Enertech’s professionals has developed this expertise in this type of contract management for ESCO contracts and are able to protect the client’s interests.

The major challenge of the project was the integration and commissioning of these new technologies in human and material infrastructure of the health care facility, a challenge that was brilliantly met by the site engineers of Enertech solutions Inc.
