University implements Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan

The university's Business and Information Technology Building features solar-reflective windows, which help conserve energy by keeping the building cooler in the summer months and reducing heat loss in cold weather.

The University of Ontario Institute of Technology is implementing an Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan to support its commitment to improving energy performance and reducing overall energy usage within the built environment, operations and programs.

The comprehensive plan will fulfill the reporting requirements under the Province of Ontario’s Green Energy Act 2009, Ontario Regulation 397/11. It will also contribute to the development of a larger foundation and framework that will ensure continuous sustainability integration throughout campus and the community.

The plan addresses the university's five-year energy management and conservation strategy. It includes technical, organizational, and behavioural measures to be implemented across campus in an effort to further reduce energy use and operating costs.
