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 />
