Intrawest: Whistler & Blackcomb Mountain Resorts
 

The Challenge:

Intrawest recognizes the importance of environmental responsibility. To improve energy efficiency of its operations, five on-mountain facilities—with a combined area of approximately 170,000 square feet and constructed over the past 20 years—were identified as potential retrofit projects.

The Solution:

Prism conducted an energy audit and identified the potential to improve energy efficiency. The recommendations included retrofitting or replacing existing equipment with new energy saving equipment such as lighting, building control systems, boiler controls, pump controls, and other modifications; improving the control and scheduling of operation of mechanical systems; and adopting behavioural changes to encourage conservation. A follow-up analysis was carried out of the snow melting and other electrical heating systems throughout both mountains. In addition, Prism provides on-going support to the mountain on energy management initiatives.

The Impact:

Electrical savings in the order of 8% and natural gas savings of approximately 12% were determined to be achievable. Measures to reduce the facilities’ impact on the environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions will result in a reduction of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
