Mazda Building

In 2011, SES partnered with Recollective Consulting to achieve the first LEED Gold Certification in British Columbia for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance; awarded to the Mazda Building in January 2012.

This 7,526 square meter, 6-story office tower was built in 1990. Key features of the Mazda Building include an independent zone-controlled heating and ventilation system, a real-time energy monitoring and occupant feedback system as well as green purchasing and operation policies. As a result of these and other sustainability efforts, The Mazda Building consumes 40% less water and 60% less energy than other average office buildings in Victoria.

Jawl Properties

SES completed energy studies on 16 buildings representing a total 94,000 m² of office space. SES was also involved in design and project management for implementation of energy conservation measures carried out at all sites. This work included a high performance building study of a new LEED certified office building in Victoria. As a result of this work, Jawl Properties was recognized with a BC Hydro Power Smart Excellence Award for Energy Champion in 2009.  SES is currently working on continuous optimization studies for 10 of the Jawl’s buildings.

Accommodation and Real Estate Services (ARES)

Energy studies for 11 sites were completed for ARES (BC Ministry of Citizen Services) over a two month period in Spring 2008. Energy studies, including full water audits, for 7 additional sites were then completed in Fall 2008. SES is currently involved in the final design phases and implementation.
