ENERGY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

The opportunities to save energy are everywhere!

Leverage available incentive programs to update your equipment and start saving money today. Rely on DAEL Thermal’s experienced technicians to review existing equipment and processes so as to identify potential energy saving opportunities. To develop your plan we quantify the size of the opportunity using NRCAN’s energy monitoring methods.

We measure, analyze…then take action! DAEL understands:

Minimum and maximum ventilation requirements to ensure that air movement for hydro and gas, for heating air, are at optimal levels.
Chiller and tower set-up must be staged properly to safeguard that your facility is not pumping more water than required.
Burner set-up and temperature ramping, when done correctly, generate savings.

From Ontario Power Authority, OPA electrical rebates for aged rooftop units to gas rebates for adding boiler economizers from Enbridge, these incentives often elevate a should-do project to a must-do.

We have completed a variety of energy management projects both large and small for gas and hydro savings:

Redistributed heat (mechanical and IT server rooms) into employee offices and lunchrooms.
Upgraded standard efficiency rooftop units to high efficiency.
Installed economizers on boilers.

READY BAKE FOODS – Heat Recovery and Energy Savings

Ready Bake Foods approved a DAEL Thermal energy savings heat recovery project in which the existing plant ventilation system was used to capture excess oven room heat and redirect it to colder areas of the building. On completion, existing mechanical heaters were no longer required. The project was paid in part through incentives provided by Enbridge and the OPA.

MAGNA EXTERIORS AND INTERIORS – 90 Rooftop Cooling Units

Magna Exteriors and Interiors tasked DAEL Thermal with providing a complete turn-key capital solution for all 90 locations’ rooftop units. DAEL completed this project throughout the summer months without impacting the office employees’ environmental comfort. We were also able to provide a significant energy rebate through the OPA to assist in funding the project.

VOA / AUTOLIV — Savings Achieved on First Visit

VOA / Autoliv operates two air makeup units to correct the plant’s negative air pressure. Due to inadequate preventative maintenance by the previous mechanical contractor, both units were improperly set up, over consuming gas, and heating improperly.

On the first visit DAEL Thermal properly set up the combustion chambers, resulting in a significant gas savings on the first visit while achieving correct heating levels for the building.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

De Demelis Construction engaged DAEL conducted preventative maintenance on the backflow preventer systems for several of Suncor’s Petro-Canada™ service stations.

During the maintenance program it implemented, we quickly and efficiently corrected any deficiencies discovered and submitted all of the required paperwork to the respective municipalities to ensure each location stayed in compliance.
