ENERGY CONSERVATION

Conservation is more than a business opportunity. With over 200 event days per year, Rogers Centre rarely sleeps. To that end, we wanted to find a way to achieve our corporate goals while practicing environmental responsibility.

Lighting Upgrade

• we engaged Encelium Technologies with our lighting retrofit project in 2007
  
• completely retrofit the facility’s lighting system
  
• combination of computer based applications and sensor based technologies that allow lights to automatically turn off when nobody is in a room or area of the stadium
  
• allows for lights to dim or become brighter depending on natural sunlight and darkness thanks to "daylight harvesting"
  
• with Phases I and II complete, Rogers Centre is now saving enough energy to power 194 homes in Toronto (effective 09/09)

Building Automation System Upgrade

• we engaged Johnson Controls in 2008 for the upgrade of our Building Automation System
  
• they also installed Variable Frequency Drives on our concourse supply fans
  
• enjoys a centralized control system for heating, cooling and ventilation
  
• better management and control of use and energy output
  
• completed in 2009
