Independent school sees savings with new energy solutions
Kings-Edgehill School’s administration building is over 100 years old and as with similar buildings across Nova Scotia, the age of this building meant it had an inefficient heating system with no means for cooling or to decrease humidity. Instead of implementing a standalone cooling solution, the school consulted the Business Solutions team at NS Power to develop and implement a more efficient solution.

Historic building invests in modern energy technology and gains cost efficiencies
Built in 1930, the Main Street Station is a well-known historic landmark in Kentville. Today, it houses businesses and apartments, but still retains most of the structural dignity of when it was first built. The existing boiler was inefficient, unreliable, and not sized to meet additional demand from new tenants. The owner completed a complete system retrofit with the install of a new heating and cooling solution. This would be cost-effective throughout its lifecycle.
Minimizing energy costs for the Town of Digby’s Fire Station
The Town of Digby has been upgrading many of their buildings to improve energy efficiency and convert fossil fuel-powered energy systems. The Town selected the Digby Fire Station with the goal to reduce operational costs by cutting down their oil consumption, while using as much of the existing infrastructure for easy installation of a new heating and cooling solution.
