Abstract:
This presentation will present the case study on the results of North America’s largest Multi-Residential Smart Building Conversion from a business, carbon, and technology perspective. A partnership between Drewlo Holdings (based in London, Ontario) and Nerva Energy (Hamilton, Ontario) resulted in the installation of an advanced optimization platform into 80+ apartment buildings (10,000+ suites) in 2023, improving energy efficiency and driving a GHG reduction of 30% with a 15-18% ROI. This project sets a baseline standard for what is practically achievable across the 300,000+ apartments in Canada, proving a clear path forward for this critical asset class of “optimization first” before moving on to the next phase of carbon reduction opportunities through the retrofitting of heat pump systems to replace gas-fired boilers.
