Low Carbon Electric Heating Retrofits and Building Automation System Expansion at Caledon East Community Complex

pre-construction

This project is a low-carbon and energy-efficient solution that involves retrofitting fourteen end-of-life natural gas heaters to electric radiant heaters in two arenas and a garage bay at the Caledon East Community Complex. To further optimize energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the existing building automation system will be expanded. Expanding the BAS will ensure we optimize the remaining assets which span the remaining 95,962 ft2 of original floor space at the complex. To ensure safety and accessibility are embedded into this project, the Town has collaborated with project stakeholders to ensure these projects meet the latest AODA requirements. Using RETScreen Expert, we estimate that retrofitting the heaters and expanding the BAS system will result in energy savings of 944,583 ekWh and abate 131 tonnes of CO2e from entering the atmosphere. This is required to achieve the Town?s Council-endorsed target to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
