In Canada, over 400 municipalities have declared climate emergencies and ice rinks have been identified as a priority for energy retrofits because they consume disproportionately high amounts of energy and are valuable community hubs. The cost of retrofitting these facilities with high-efficiency systems has historically been financially prohibitive because all the required mechanical equipment would have to be replaced at one time, resulting in limited adoption. This project focuses on the development of an early-stage analysis tool for net-zero energy ice rink retrofits that are optimized and timed with the maintenance lifecycle of existing facility equipment. This tool can be applied to over 4,000 municipality-owned Canadian ice rinks, where an annual reduction of GHG emissions up to 550,000 tonnes is attainable. In addition, with only 5% market penetration, this tool is anticipated to stimulate $200 million in sustainability sector economic activity in Canada.

在加拿大，超过 400 个城市已宣布气候紧急情况，溜冰场已被确定为能源改造的优先事项，因为它们消耗大量能源，并且是有价值的社区中心。历史上，用高效系统改造这些设施的成本在经济上一直令人望而却步，因为所有所需的机械设备都必须一次性更换，从而导致采用有限。该项目重点开发用于净零能耗溜冰场改造的早期分析工具，该工具根据现有设施设备的维护生命周期进行优化和定时。该工具可应用于加拿大 4,000 多个市政府拥有的溜冰场，每年可减少高达 55 万吨的温室气体排放。此外，该工具的市场渗透率仅为 5%，预计将刺激加拿大可持续发展行业的经济活动达 2 亿加元。
