KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Challenge One
The Measurement & Verification Plan had to strike a balance of submetering required energy loads, in addition to Alberta Infrastructure’s selections. An M&V-specific workshop was successful in addressing this challenge. The M&V Plan was approved by CaGBC.
Solution One
Ongoing integrated design workshops that involved future occupants and user groups were an opportunity to share ideas, concerns, and to align on common sustainability goals.
