Improving the Efficiency of the Energy System for the Campus’s Legacy Academic Buildings
How can we optimize energy efficiency in UBC Okanagan’s legacy buildings through innovative modeling? How can the campus cut greenhouse gas emissions and set a scalable example for sustainable building practices?
UBC Okanagan set an ambitious target for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including a reduction of 65% in emissions from campus operations by 2030. Improving the efficiency of the existing buildings is one of the actions taken at UBCO to achieve this goal.
Dr. Klaske van Heusden, Assistant professor, School of Engineering and Dr. Warren Hare, Professor, Dept. of Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics recently shared their insights in this interview.
