Overview

Office buildings are the single largest users of electricity in Ontario’s commercial sector and they play an important role in advancing energy efficiency. While no two buildings are exactly alike, commercial building electricity use is led by heating, air conditioning, lighting systems and office equipment. The good news is that electricity is one of the most easily controlled costs. By implementing the energy-efficiency measures available for your building, equipment and operational practices, these simple low- or no-cost steps could impact your electricity bill almost immediately.

Building energy-efficient new commercial buildings with highly efficient systems and tackling inefficiencies in our existing buildings are important steps that members of the commercial building sector are adopting.

With existing buildings making up the majority of the building stock, excellent opportunities exist for improving your building’s electricity use through specific operation improvements, upgrades and retrofitting. Improving the maintenance and operation of existing systems will also deliver greatly improved performance and energy savings.
