Energy Efficiency Technology Access Centre

工业需要莫霍克学院的能源专业知识来验证和支持能源技术的发展，并帮助能源消费者降低能源成本。莫霍克能源与动力创新中心（EPIC）位于安大略省汉密尔顿，拥有8年的经验，支持企业应对能源挑战，并将其资源和专业知识用于支持企业应对复杂的能源效率挑战。效率是实现成本降低的关键部分，它创造了附带的经济效益。根据2018年加拿大清洁能源报告《少即是多》，每1美元的能效项目支出就能产生7美元的国内生产总值。此外，提高效率有助于减少与能源有关的排放。EPIC技术访问中心（TAC）将为能源技术开发商、能源系统集成商和能源消费者的中小型企业（SMEs）提供支持。能源技术领域的中小企业正在开发需要验证和进一步开发的节能产品和服务。能源系统集成商需要产品和配置测试。能源消费客户是农业食品和饮料加工商，能源成本很高，但他们没有专门的资源来解决能源效率问题。TheTAC将通过其四个专业实验室中的一个提供这种支持，以满足更广泛地区这些行业的1,100多家企业的需求。TAC将为客户提供莫霍克大学的教职员工在能源方面的专业知识，同时培训和发展学生的专业知识，为该行业提供支持。

Mohawk Colleges energy expertise is needed by industry to validate and support development of energytechnologies and to assist energy consumers in reducing their energy costs. Mohawk's Energy & PowerInnovation Centre (EPIC) located in Hamilton, Ontario has 8-years of experience supporting companies withtheir energy challenges, and is directing its resources and expertise towards supporting businesses withcomplex energy efficiency challenges. Efficiency is a critical part of achieving cost reductions and it createsspinoff economic benefits. According to the Clean Energy Canada 2018 report, Less is More, every $1 spenton energy efficiency programs generates $7 of Gross Domestic Product. Further, efficiency efforts help toreduce energy-related emissions. The EPIC Technology Access Centre (TAC) will provide support forSmall- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) who are energy technology developers, energy systemsintegrators, and energy consumers. SMEs in the energy technology sector are developing energy efficientproducts and services that require validation and further development. Energy systems integrators requireproduct and configuration testing. Energy consumer clients are agri-food and beverage processors whereenergy is a significant cost, yet they do not have the dedicated resources to tackle energy efficiency. TheTAC will deliver this support via one of their four specialized labs to meet the needs of the more than 1,100businesses in these sectors in the wider region. The TAC will provide Mohawk faculty and staff expertise inenergy to its clients, while training and developing student expertise to be hired and support the industry.
