| Building Function | School (Education) |
| Gross Floor Area | 5,300 square meters (57,000 square feet) |
| Location | Dawson City, Yukon |
| Scope | Existing Building – Energy Conservation Measures |
| Project Description | The client retained Edge Consultants to construct an energy model and simulate the current conditions and proposed energy conservation measures. Most of the school’s existing domestic water and mechanical systems are original (1989 build). The mechanical plant is very close to the end of its service life. The project aimed to integrate energy, carbon, and operating cost analysis to supplement an updated condition assessment on the domestic water and mechanical systems at Robert Service School to inform a refined scope of work for necessary upgrades, repairs, and replacements. |
| Value Added | Analysed energy conservation measures (ECMs) relating to the school’s HVAC systems and fuel usage. ECMs included AHU upgrade, central heat recovery, demand control ventilation, and addition of central boilers to reduce heating fuel oil consumed on site. Recommended ECMs indicated a reduction in energy consumption by over 20%, and carbon emissions by over 35%. The annual reduction in utility bills equates to almost $60,000. |
