A Integrated Environmental Solutions Case Study
MCW Consultants worked with Integrated Environmental Solutions on the 717 Broadview Avenue renovation in Toronto, where Toronto Community Housing Corporation wanted the project to be at least 40% more energy efficient than the MNECB reference model. To meet this challenge, MCW used the IES Virtual Environment (IESVE) to develop a detailed energy model and help guide the building’s mechanical design.
Integrated Environmental Solutions’ IESVE was used to iteratively model the whole building, size HVAC equipment, and test energy-saving options throughout design. The project delivered a geothermal ground-source heat pump system, energy recovery ventilation, efficient lighting, and other upgrades, ultimately achieving 45% annual energy savings versus MNECB and helping secure financial incentives from Enbridge Gas Distribution and the City of Toronto.
