FortisBC supports energy-efficiency project at YVR
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is advancing its commitment to a lower carbon future thanks to support from FortisBC Energy Inc. (FortisBC) that helped fund the airport’s new heating system energy-efficiency upgrades in the International Terminal Building. The project reflects the strong collaboration between the two organizations as they work together to reduce emissions and modernize one of B.C.’s critical transportation hubs.
The upgrades will support both the domestic and international terminals while using significantly less gas. By enabling YVR to lower the operating temperature of its terminal heating system, the upgrades reduce energy loss and improve overall system performance. Combined with YVR’s commitment to voluntarily subscribing to up to 100 per cent designated Renewable Natural Gas for terminal heating, the airport is taking meaningful steps to lower associated emissions.
Altogether, the improvements are expected to reduce YVR’s natural gas use by more than 12,000 gigajoules annually, enough energy to heat around 130 B.C. homes a year. They are also expected to lower emissions by approximately 700 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and save an estimated $175,000 in annual operating costs.
