Facility / System Description:

This is a building that will be used to demonstrate various green building technologies for students. Many sensors were added that will help them monitor these various systems. Allowing them to access this information was the challenge. Using ORCAweb one student was given access to the system and was able to write his own interface and gather, store and present it any way they like. ORCAweb was also used to allow access to information for the third party commissiong agent. Historian is being used to confirm the operation of the building over a 15 month period, which is a LEED® Measurement and Verification (M&V) requirement (EAc5).

Results:

The projected total energy consumption is 1768MJ/m²/year. Relative to MNECB, this is a projected savings of 42%. The projected total potable water consumption is 279 litres/m²/year with a projected savings of 50% to a normal building.

“In addition to the energy savings, OrcaWeb allows us to demonstrate the energy savings, as well as the methods through which they were obtained, to students and the surrounding community.” - Joseph Caldwell, former student interfacing with ORCAweb

“OrcaWeb is allowing us to demonstrate the possibilities of green engineering techniques to university students, as well as to the general public. Through OrcaWeb, we can bring a greater awareness and understanding to the community about the issues involved in modern green engineering and sustainability.” - Joseph Caldwell, former student interfacing with ORCAweb
