Description:

Menno Hospital at Menno Place was built in 1960 and 1993. It is a 72,988 sq. ft. 2 story level care facility that houses 151 seniors in residential care with 24/7 nursing support. Menno Place is BC’s first campus of care and is now one of the largest offering a full range of housing and long-term care options. Over 700 seniors live on the 11 acre campus – from independent living to residential care.

Job Description:

ESC was engaged to investigate Menno Hospital’s HVAC electrical and gas consumption usage and determine if
there were possible measures that could be implemented with the greatest impact to reduce consumption and wasted energy.

Results:

Menno Hospital saved approximately 825GJ of gas and 68,000 kwH (average) electricity in the first 5 months for comparison with the implemented ECM changes.

This translates to an annual projected savings of $12,870 for gas and $16,320 for electricity. There was significant gas and electrical consumption reduction due to more efficient operation of the boiler, domestic hot water system and more efficient operation of the air handling units maximizing energy conservation. There was no longer unscheduled maintenance service required, maintenance costs were reduced.
