“MC5 is the only true unitized rain screen window wall system on the market today. Thanks to a series of five chambers within the system, MC5 completely eliminates external moisture penetration. Plus, the introduction of the I-Strut thermal break 85% wider than the standard PVC break significantly reduces heat and cold transfer. The U-Value and condensation index are both improved by 50% over traditional window wall systems. In fact, tests show that with the introduction of high-performance Low-E glazing and a warm-edge spacer, the window can achieve a U-Value of 0.29 BTU/hr-sf F.”

Or minimum of 25% GHG savings (or 25% energy savings) for individual projects within a portfolio. Based on the current and forecast carbon intensity of the provincial electricity grid where the project is located.

Detailing the areas of financial benefit afforded through Bex window replacement program

  • Energy Savings

    A Bex Systems window retrofit, delivered through its industry relationships, results in a 30% or greater reduction in natural gas costs.

  • Landlord Tenant Act Cost Recovery

    Landlord tenant act allows building owners to recover costs by escalating rent on certain tenants by 3% per year over the course of three years.

  • Rent Increase upon turnover

    Landlords can increase the rent on suites upon turn over of tenants over time.

  • Increase in Building Value

    By decreasing operational costs achieved through reduction in energy consumption, and maintenance of windows, building values are increased.

  • Government incentives

    By reducing carbon footprint at your facility and reducing the overall energy consumption, building owners can receive incentives to increase return on investment and feasibility of installation of windows.

Energy Loss, Carbon Tax

A buildings exterior envelope can contribute to over 50% of a building’s energy loss. With most of energy losses occurring in the heating season.

According to Natural Resources Canada (“NRCan”) the average Energy Intensity of an Apartment building in Ontario was 0.57 GJ/m2 (14.59 kWh/Sq Ft). Two Building’s located in Toronto shown in Table A show significant deviation from the Average Intensity.

With most of the Energy Intensity coming from Natural Gas, building owners are exposed to significant Carbon Tax risk. Current Carbon Tax is 7.8 c/cubic meter or $40/tCO2e (tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent), however by 2030 the federal government plans on increasing that price to $170.
