The Energy, Environmental, and Experiential Learning building at the University of Calgary is a 5-Storey facility that provides instructional spaces for programs in energy and environment, and new engineering, biology, and chemistry laboratories. The building uses 78% less energy compared to other conventional laboratory buildings through technologies such as: daylight harvesting, solar shutters/louvres, radiant slab heating, daylight sensors, occupancy sensors, smart timing schedules controlling high efficiency light fixtures, rainwater harvesting, cooling towers, and low flow fixtures.
