Minto Receives Year 2000 Energy Management Award

Body

With over 20,000 residential suites, primarily in the Ottawa and Toronto markets, Minto Apartments Ltd. is one of the largest residential property owners in Canada.

In 1999, Minto launched an aggressive program to improve the energy efficiency of their entire high-rise building stock. As implementation partners, Efficiency Engineering Inc. is undertaking the required site investigation, mechanical design, and electrical design to help Minto achieve their savings targets on a very tight implementation schedule. The entire program, which includes heating plant replacements, direct digital control of building services, and variable-speed makeup air and pumping in over 40 buildings, is scheduled for completion by the end of 2001.

As part of their program, Minto is involved in innovative sub metering programs with local utilities, and is undertaking performance trials on a Capstone micro turbine cogeneration unit (installation also designed by EEI). Minto has received the year 2000 award for organizational excellence in energy management from the Association of Energy Engineers in Atlanta.
