Modelling optimal energy use
We all have a part to play in the energy transition. Together, let’s commit to using energy more efficiently to build a future that’s more self‑sufficient and sustainable.
The Alliance of Exemplary Buildings brings together organizations that are taking action today through energy excellence and inspiring the ambitious, concrete change for the Québec of tomorrow.
Organizations in action
Behind even the simplest action is a valuable contribution. In 2024 alone, businesses saved 762 GWh—the equivalent of the annual energy consumption of a city like Rimouski—thanks to measures like the following:
Implementing systems to automate energy management
A smart monitoring system can detect energy waste in buildings and optimize daily energy use.
Upgrading outdated energy-intensive equipment
Replacing old equipment with more efficient models cuts energy costs and enhances building performance.
Using less energy during peak hours
Limiting consumption during peak demand events helps ease pressure on the grid and fosters more balanced energy use.
Organizations leading by example
Every building tells a story of thoughtful decisions, behind‑the‑scenes innovations and tangible actions that are transforming the ways we use energy.
