description

John GreggsUniversity of CalgaryPresented at the Cybera/CANARIE National Summit 2009, as part of the session "Green IT: Does it Work?" In this session, leaders from academia, industry and government debated the value proposition of green IT and its potential to contribute to research, business and policy objectives.

Energy Consumption Compar-ison

BaselineProposed

Energy Consumption 48% better than ASHRAE 90.1 • This energy reduction is achieved primarily by:

– High performance envelope– Smaller heating & cooling loads– Lower ventilation rates and fan power reduction strategies– Greater energy efficiency of the heat recovery device– Better performance of the cooling system

Carbon emissions 61% lower than ASHRAE 90.1

Energy Cost 57% better than ASHRAE 90.1 - 9 LEED Points
