A tour of MacKimmie Tower was organised by the University for Calgary ASHRAE student branch on December 9th for students to learn about the mechanical system in this unique building. MacKimmie Tower is one of most energy efficient buildings on a Canadian post secondary campus. It is a net-zero carbon building, with mechanical and electrical systems that have been optimised to reduce energy use and carbon footprint. On-site photovoltaics and rainwater harvesting contribute to the building’s environmental targets.
