THE CHALLENGE
Crombie REIT strives to make environmental sustainability a part of their everyday decision-making and recognized that Ecopilot® could play a significant role in achieving that. As a result, they installed Ecopilot® to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as improve the internal climate of the facility. Cogswell Tower is BOMA Best Gold Certified and holds a BOMA Nova Scotia Award of Excellence.

THE RESULTS
A simplification of the establishment and its installed systems resulted in lower energy consumption and reduced installation and maintenance costs. In addition, a higher level of comfort was attained for those who spend time on the premises. Ecopilot® now utilizes the building’s thermal inertia to prevent simultaneous heating and cooling actions.
