Case Study

Yonge Sheppard Centre (RioCan)

Objective

Reduce energy consumption, improve building performance, and lower utility costs through a combination of operational improvements, capital upgrades, and ongoing performance monitoring.

Solutions Implemented

  • Capital Improvements
  • Lighting retrofits
  • HVAC system upgrades
  • Building controls optimization
  • Energy infrastructure improvements

Operational Enhancements

  • Equipment scheduling optimization
  • Improved equipment sequencing
  • Control system calibration
  • Enhanced maintenance practices

Reipower’s Approach

Reipower conducted comprehensive energy audits to identify energy-saving opportunities and leveraged Reipower AI to uncover operational inefficiencies and prioritize actions. Continuous monitoring, measurement, and verification were supported through RETScreen to ensure savings were achieved and sustained over time.

RETScreen was used for:

  • Baseline energy modelling
  • Utility bill analysis
  • Energy savings quantification
  • Measurement & Verification (M&V)
  • Ongoing performance monitoring

Results & Benefits

  •  Annual  Energy savings 1 Million kWh
  • Improved building performance and operational efficiency
  • Reduced energy costs
  • Increased confidence through transparent reporting and validation
  • Enhanced eligibility for utility incentives
  • Long-term persistence of savings through continuous monitoring

Impact

This project demonstrates how combining energy expertise, advanced analytics, AI-driven insights, and ongoing performance verification can deliver measurable and lasting improvements in building energy performance

Tandem Properties

Objective

Improve energy efficiency across a portfolio of multi-residential buildings while reducing operational costs and improving occupant comfort.

Implemented Measures

  • Replacement of aging heat pumps
  • Installation of high-efficiency HVAC equipment
  • Energy system optimization

Reipower’s Role

Reipower supported the project through the Shared Energy Manager Program.

  • Building performance analysis
  • Identification of Operational Energy Reduction Measures using Reipower AI
  • Development of Business Cases for the identified opportunities.
  • RETScreen energy modeling
  • Savings verification
  • Incentive application support

RETScreen was used to evaluate baseline energy consumption, estimate projected savings, and perform technical and financial analysis required for incentive applications.

Results

✔ Reduced Annual  energy consumption by  1.5 million kWh
✔ Lower maintenance costs
✔ Improved occupant comfort
✔ Improved equipment reliability
✔ Successful incentive funding support close to $200000 – SaveONenergy Program

This project demonstrated how targeted energy retrofits and proper performance analysis can create long-term operational and financial benefits.
