Did you know that the needs for heating and air conditioning for the downtown Montreal are met by a sole private provider? Did you know that CCUM operates a production and distribution network of steam, hot water and cold water that is unique in Quebec? And did you know that this represents at least 20 thermal power plants less in the heart of the city?
The economic and environmental benefits that stream from this centralization are great indicators that this option is highly advantageous; energy efficiency substantially reduces wastes and pollution remnants, the use of common equipment increases the liability of the service and facilitates competitive rates.
Mindful of the future, CCUM also invests in research by contributing financially to the Centre de technologie thermique (CTT) of the
École de technologie supérieure (ETS). This center offers 700 m² of laboratory space, where researchers and users alike find solutions that rival in efficiency.
At CCUM, we choose to invest in a city with breathing space!
