A nearly 30-year-old condominium complex near Montreal wanted to reduce its largest monthly expense, which was its electricity bill. So, the Les Verrieres sur le Fleuve complex decided to optimize its mechanical systems in the public spaces, which saved 43% of the total energy consumption. This article discusses improvements made to the domestic water booster pump, the exhaust and makeup air ventilation system, the cooling towers, the indoor swimming pool ventilation system, the outdoor swimming pool water heating system as well as the ventilation of the interior garages.
