Laval – Hydro-Québec Offices

Section: Quebec

To optimise energy usage, the Hydro-Québec Administrative Centre in Laval, Québec was equipped with a new HVAC system. The heat pump system handles three different environments (an office area, a workshop area for vehicle repair and storage, and an unheated “shelter block”) while at the same time recycling interior heat gains and using a geothermal system for heat source and heat rejection. These installations operate under the supervision of a computerised energy management and control system. While the annual savings calculated on peak electrical demand were 600 kW, the annual cost of operation was reduced by 26% (when compared to a conventional system).
