Cleaner Air for Healthcare

The initiative prioritizes affordability with a projected payback period of 3-6 years. It advocates for a cost-effective air handling replacement program and the right-sizing of a green plant for future decarbonization, aiming to minimize capital costs. The environmental focus centers on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while a primary goal is creating an optimal healthcare environment by minimizing cross-contamination. Safety and effectiveness are assured through UL certification and adherence to health and safety accreditations. The initiative also aligns with the CSA standard (Z317.2:19) for Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning Systems in Healthcare Facilities to ensure compliance.

Both Enbridge and the IESO are offering incentives to cover up to 10-30% of total project costs. Details available upon request.

OECM's Commercial Ductwork Sealing and Related Services agreements provide access to a range of ductwork sealing and related services suitable for various buildings including healthcare facilities, schools, colleges, universities, municipal buildings, and more.

The proposed measures aim to achieve a high standard of efficiency and sustainability. With a resultant leakage rate of up to 1% in accordance with Passive House standards, the initiative focuses on minimizing energy costs. A notable reduction of 12-15% in the total energy budget is anticipated, providing significant capital cost avoidance in the replacement of air handling systems. Additionally, the initiative targets a substantial decrease in greenhouse gas emissions by 18-30%, thereby offering significant capital cost avoidance in the transition to a new green plant through decarbonization and electrification efforts. To ensure regulatory compliance, the initiative aligns with the CSA standard Z317.2:19, reinforcing its commitment to industry standards.
