About Discovery Session 4:
Join us to explore how the MacKimmie Tower at the University of Calgary went from a high-level study to an award-winning deep energy retrofit project.
The University of Calgary is working toward becoming carbon neutral by 2050, meaning it aims to balance the amount of carbon it emits with the amount it removes from the atmosphere. To support this goal, they deep retrofitted the MacKimmie building and were able to reduce its energy use by 80%.Â
A deep retrofit goes beyond standard upgrades and takes a whole-building approach to optimize a building to reduce its energy consumption, emissions and operating costs.
