You are cordially invited to our Recollecture on Friday, October 22nd. Recollecture is our way to learn from each other and to engage conversations on any relevant aspect of sustainable buildings and communities. The presentation serves to provide a focus for participation and discussions. The event is meant to be educational but also open and casual. Please join us to share, to question, to challenge, to ponder and to have fun. Some drinks and snacks will be provided. More drinks and snacks are always welcome.
  

The theme of our upcoming Recollecture is building energy reduction. Chris Goodchild from Enerpro will describe how to assess new and existing buildings to determine appropriate measures to reduce energy consumption. The measures are selected and implemented as part of Enerpro's integrated energy management system (iEMS). The iEMS is designed to reduce the cost of building energy consumption. 

Enerpro has successively implemented measures that increase mechanical efficiency of building systems but has also had recent success applying measures that entice individual building occupants to decrease energy consumption. An example of a measure to reduce individual consumption is installing timers to record gas fireplace usage. Occupants are charged for their individual gas consumption and therefore are less likely to use inefficient fireplaces as their principal heating source rather they will be more likely to use their more efficient electric baseboard heaters. With increased mechanical efficiencies and less overall energy consumption, iEMS is capable of reducing total building energy consumption by 30% or more.

Chris Goodchild will be presenting a proven approach to modern energy management systems with an overview of Enerpro's iEMS and an exploration of successful case studies.

Hope to see you soon!
