Decarbonize HVAC & Refrigeration with 'Guaranteed Energy Saving' Contracts
Thursday, October 22, 2-3 pm.
Offered at no cost by our Business Working Group Lead, Kate Gaertner, Founder of TripleWin Advisory:
Bruce Nagy will be in conversation with Olivier Matte, an engineer and heating, cooling and water system expert from Ecosystem. Ecosystem works with companies on upgrade projects under ‘guaranteed energy savings’ contracts. Bruce and Olivier will talk shop and highlight several case studies including:
|
- a new system at North America’s largest chocolate plant, which allows the company to repurpose cocoa bean husks to reduce waste, greenhouse gas emissions, disposal and fuel costs
- a cost-containment upgrade solution for the world’s most infamous architectural white elephant, the Montreal Olympic Stadium.
|
Join Bruce and Olivier on 10/22 to learn more about Ecosystem's 'guaranteed energy savings' contracts and how they can be leveraged at your company.
