About Discovery Session 5:
TARGET AUDIENCE: Commercial and Light Industrial Building Owners
The Hi-Tech Seals warehouse in Edmonton has been on a journey to net-zero since 2006. It has been expanded, retrofitted and electrified, and now has no gas meter.
The warehouse over time:
- 1996 – Original 13,000 sqft warehouse was builtÂ
- 2006 – A highly insulated 19,000 sqft warehouse expansion was added, and a ground source heat pump system was installed
- 2023 – The original roof was replaced, the remaining natural gas equipment was electrified, and a 248 kW solar system was installed.
This session will have two parts:
- Warehouse tour: How does the technology work? We’ll have technical experts on site to show you each technology, describe how it works and answer your questions.Â
- Workshop session: How much does it cost and what incentives are available? We’ll present preliminary results from a business case we are developing that explores implementing similar upgrades on a commercial warehouse in 2026. We will discuss available tax incentives and financing options and ask for your feedback on our assumptions in order to help make the business case as relevant as possible to building owners in Alberta.
