Effluent heat recovery is a promising yet still little-known energy efficiency solution. In this article, we’ll present four concrete applications of this solution and the technologies used in each case, as well as the potential and challenges involved in making … Read More

Recovering waste heat offers significant energy potential, particularly in industrial settings, where it can help companies reduce energy consumption (and therefore operating costs) while also lowering their carbon footprint by reusing energy that would otherwise be lost. In this article, … Read More

To improve operational efficiency and product quality, a manufacture made a significant investment in her its powder coating line, using innovative technologies to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. What are these technologies and why are they so … Read More

In Quebec, greenhouse heating can account for up to 30% of horticultural and market gardeners’ operating costs. Energy efficiency is a concrete way for these facilities to reduce their energy bills and GHG emissions. In this article, we provide an … Read More

Last June, the Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC) revised its eligibility rules for the Zero Carbon Building – Design Standard v4 (ZCB-Design v4) to allow the use of dual-energy heating systems in buildings seeking this certification. In this article, we … Read More

As part of its efforts to modernize its facilities, the Ciment Québec plant in Saint-Basile-de-Portneuf has acquired a new cement milling process line that will allow it to reduce its annual emissions by nearly 66,200 tonnes of CO2 equivalent compared to its … Read More

Pavement production is an industrial activity essential to today’s infrastructure, yet it requires a significant amount of energy. A number of energy efficiency solutions can optimize energy consumption and achieve significant savings while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from this process. … Read More

In May 2024, Groupe Galland and the City of Mont-Tremblant opened a transit line with compressed natural gas buses. In addition, the company has contracted renewable natural gas (RNG) to further reduce its fossil GHG emissions—a first in Quebec. In this … Read More

Introduction As residential, commercial and industrial sectors understand the essential nature of fresh air to the health and safety of the occupants in each of the buildings, technologies to recuperate energy from outgoing exhaust air for transfer to incoming cold … Read More

Paper manufacturing is an energy-intensive process, especially at the drying stage. But when used properly, a well-calibrated steam box can reduce the amount of energy needed to dry the paper and even speed up the process. In this article, you’ll learn how … Read More
