Study to assess the potential of an ESCO project

Achievements :

Integrated university health center and social services East-of-Island-of-Montreal comprises 2 hospitals, 1 university institute, 8 CLSCs and 15 CHSLDs. With its 17,500 employees, it offers a complete range of health and social services to the population of the Island of Montreal.

The Quebec government has implemented significant GHG emission reduction targets for institutional buildings. The government is committed to reducing GHG emissions by 37.5% compared to 1990 levels. CEMTL wants to take a step in this direction and set the direction for an asset maintenance and energy efficiency project in 18 buildings.

Simply replacing obsolete equipment with equivalent equipment would not enable us to make progress towards government targets. For this reason, we are proposing a feasibility study to establish the potential of a performance project in ESCO mode that would be more advantageous from an environmental and economic point of view for CEMTL.

Project features :

Enertech acted as project manager and representative of the institution to ensure the success of the project and to meet the objectives of the users and the establishment. He was the main contact with the client, the professionals and the institution’s technical departments during the concept development phase, the development of plans and specifications for construction, right up to the construction and delivery of the work to the Hospital’s Medical Imaging Department. He attended statutory meetings, coordinated with all disciplines, monitored the progress of design, costs and schedules, negotiated agreements for changes and provided site supervision. Completed on time and on budget, the project was marked by a major challenge: the commissioning of the MRI’s cooling equipment, carried out by both Énertech and the project’s design engineers. A resounding success for Énertech and the Anna-Laberge Hospital, both technically and financially.
