Last year <strong>FRPO</strong> began a pilot project to measure energy use and test conservation<br />
methods in multi unit rental buildings. Funded and supported<br />
by the OPA and other partners, the project aims to provide detailed<br />
information on electricity consumption in apartment buildings and help<br />
provide solutions for improving conservation in the private rental housing sector.<br />
The first component of the project was the measurement and benchmarking of<br />
energy consumption in the pilot buildings. This was a critical phase of the project<br />
since, for Ontario, very little reliable data existed on the actual energy usage levels<br />
in rental buildings.<br />
