Case Study

|
|
| The University of Toronto's (U of T's) 180-year-old campus comprises more than 120 buildings averaging 77 years of age, which has periodically caused significant problems. In 2004, for example, a 36-year-old chiller at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) failed. This helped trigger a comprehensive retrofit plan for campus-wide cooling infrastructure. |
