ASHRAE Technology Award: Retail in Cold Climate

In Longueuil, QC, Canada, winters are bitter with temperatures as low as 24.4C (11F). To efficiently heat and cool the Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC), a 2100m² (22,600ft²) single-story sporting goods store in Longueuil, the design team chose a radiant heating/cooling slab, ground source heat pump, and heat recovery devices. Annual energy savings using these strategies are 427,842kWh.
