La Maison Du Development Durable, owned by
Equiterre, in Montreal used mechanical and electrical strategies that were validated and refined by
using space usage behavioral pattern analyses, loads
calculations, energy simulations and heat balances.

The International Commerce Center, owned by
Harbour Vantage Management, is a 321 000 m2
commercial building that uses optimized chiller
controls, daylighting and demand controlled ventilation, which help save 30 million kWh annually.

The Otto Maass Building at McGill University in
Montreal renovated its laboratories and ventilation systems. It used a temporary HVAC system
installed in the courtyard to prevent disruption to
research activities.

The Oakland Unified School District, La Escuelita
Education Center uses mixed-mode and natural
ventilation. Cool towers provide as much as 90
tons of cooling without fans or coils on hot days.

Ramona Apartments, owned by Nurture 247
Limited Partnership, saves energy by having a tight
building envelope and efficient MEP systems.

The Caterpillar Axle Manufacturing plant in
Winston-Salem, N.C., uses high-efficiency HVAC
systems, solar hot water energy recovery and storage and geothermal systems.

Waste heat from data center IT equipment is
used to evaporate water into moisture instead of
using energy to generate steam. Other innovations include wet-bulb temperature for control of
humidification, and a partial barrier between cold
and hot air that allowed some mixing of hot air
back into the cold aisles.

The expansion of the Notre Dame of St. Rosary
Convent created a senior care residence that uses
radiant floors to improve occupant comfort and
meet part of the heating load and enthalpy wheels.

Green Technology Training and Enterprise Center
has to endure some extreme weather conditions
owned by the Village of Plain, Wis. But, the systems, consisting of natural ventilation, radiant
heating and cooling, and geoexchange, have operated well from peak temperatures of 103°F to
-26°F.
