Case Studies - Substantial Savings...

Recommissioning (RCx) optimizes existing buildings to improve occupant comfort and save energy. CanmetENERGY conducts RCx projects in Canadian buildings. Through these projects, the implementation of simple building operation optimization measures has helped:

• reduce operating costs
• improve occupant comfort
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Building RCx can yield energy savings of 5 to 15% with a typical payback of less than 3 years in most cases. These reductions can sometimes reach 30%.

RCx projects database

CanmetENERGY is currently developing an RCx projects database. We encourage you to add data from your own RCx projects by simply download the data entry form. These data will be added to the RCx projects database and could also serve to produce new RCx case studies.

Managed by CanmetENERGY at the Varennes (Quebec) research centre.
