More efficient, that’s the difference
Use energy better to reduce energy consumption along with greenhouse-gas emissions. It saves money, too.
Energy efficiency: a practical way to reduce your energy consumption
In a nutshell, energy efficiency is about using energy better and therefore less of it. There are numerous ways to do that:
- Use energy-efficient equipment that does the same job as its conventional equivalent but with less energy
- Improve the building’s thermal envelope
- Optimize energy use, for example by recovering and converting lost heat
- Improve building mechanical systems and control sequences
- Use solar energy to preheat air or water
By reducing your energy consumption, you cut operational costs and shrink your carbon footprint. It's good for your municipality and the real world.
A winning approach to energy efficiency projects
Consuming better is great, but how do you put that fundamental principle of energy efficiency into practice as efficiently as possible? This article explains it.

Combine energy efficiency to renewal natural gas
Once your energy-efficiency measures are in place, you can replace the natural gas you’re using with renewable natural gas (RNG).
RNG is 100% renewably sourced energy that reduces your GHG emissions from fossil fuels without your needing to change equipment.
By combining energy efficiency with RNG, you can make your decarbonization strategy go farther.

Heating large spaces can often involve a great deal of energy loss. When building the Parc Chauveau indoor soccer complex, the goal was clear—ensure efficient heating and ventilation, excellent air quality, and especially a comfortable environment for the players, without overheating them.
