Reducing energy dependence in Montréal
We have partnered with local governments and NGOs, as well as the Green Impact Campaign's Green Energy Management System (GEMS) to offer free energy efficiency consulting to businesses.
We hire students to visit small businesses over the summer, where they fill out a questionnaire on the business facility and practices. The GEMS website then converts the questionnaire responses into energy efficiency recommendations (including savings estimates) for the business. Our initial project reached around 50 businesses in Montréal. Our work this year will centre on creating a project with more incentives (e.g., discounts) for the businesses involved to follow the energy efficiency recommendations we provide to them. |
