2008 BC Hydro Power Smart Excellence Awards
Kwantlen Polytechnic University wins award for Excellence in Energy Management
When three different colleges cite Kwantlen University College as a model in energy efficiency, it’s obvious Kwantlen is doing something right.
At Kwantlen, the push towards energy efficiency comes directly from President Skip Triplett. A culture of conservation is keenly felt and supported at all levels of the organization.
Having surpassed their previous energy reduction targets in 2006, Kwantlen set a new target of 45 per cent by 2010 from 2000 levels. To reach this goal, Kwantlen will continue their program of continuous improvement, which includes energy assessments, a designated Energy Manager and benchmarking to measure progress in energy performance.
Kwantlen’s four new buildings, two of which were completed in 2007, are all designed to achieve a minimum of the LEED Gold® building standard—another sign that Kwantlen is doing things right
