The connection of a building to an urban network fits perfectly LEED certification process. Not only are the operating costs reduced, but the whole engineering of the building is considerably simplified and the maintenance and provisions for the heating and air conditioning equipment are no longer necessary. A lot of space and resources that can be invested elsewhere and improve other areas of the building.
In addition to having reduced emissions of reject particles, a building connected to the air conditioning network of CCUM doesn’t need to resort to CFCs or other chemical substances harmful to the environment.
CCUM invests in research by financing the Centre de technologie thermique, a laboratory associated with the
École de technologie supérieure.
The Centre de technologie thermique is a 700 m² laboratory equipped to meet the research needs of the designers, producers and users of systems and equipment using thermal energy.
By associating with such a university research laboratory, CCUM confirms its commitment to support the advancement of energy management.
