Project Description
BC Housing committed to undertake a comprehensive Energy Performance Contract and Building Renewal Program, referred to as the 'Housing Renovation Partnership'. The project aimed to reduce energy and water consumption, operating costs, and, to the fullest extent possible, a 50% reduction in GHG emissions. MCW’s solution incorporated steps to meet those goals and included a unique guaranteed reduction target for CO2 emissions.
While dealing with a wide range of building types, ages, and stages of general repair, MCW developed a program which combined infrastructure renewal with aggressive carbon reduction strategies throughout 171 buildings.
