March 11, 2013 – Operating the Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence: Performance, lessons learned and future opportunities

This presentation will discuss the Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence (JPCOE) on the Penticton Campus of Okanagan College, one of the most water and energy efficient buildings in western Canada.  The talk will cover how the project evolved, how the building is performing relative to expectations (and more standard buildings) and what the future holds.  Time and technology permitting, there will be an online tour of energy and water consumption monitoring systems along with the automation control and mechanical system operation.
