MCW Custom Energy Solutions (MCW CES) is proud to have been chosen as the energy engineering partner for the second phase of the University of Calgary’s Energy Efficiency and Heat Recovery Initiative. The initiative is an energy-efficiency and conservation project designed to help UCalgary make strides towards carbon-neutral campus operations through energy retrofits and Greenhouse Gas emissions reductions strategies in existing buildings.

The University of Calgary Energy Efficiency and Heat Recovery Initiative seeks to reduce campus greenhouse gas emissions across the University’s Main and Foothills campuses through a combination of mechanical and electrical system retrofits, HVAC system retro-commissioning, and Building Automation System Controls upgrades in research, laboratory and teaching spaces. These strategies support the University’s 2019 Climate Action Plan GHG emissions reductions roadmap: a 35% reduction by 2025, 50% by 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2050. This initiative is partially funded by the Government of Canada’s Low-Carbon Economy Fund with a contribution of $8.5M. The total program is anticipated to be $18M.

Several of the University’s research and teaching facilities located at the Main and Foothills campuses are in scope for the Energy Efficiency and Heat Recovery Initiative:
