Interested in what you see, but doesn’t quite meet your needs? We can create an energy program/service that is catered to you or your organization. Saskatchewan Environmental Society can also offer customized training, full energy audits and assistance with government grant applications. Plus, numerous other potential applications.

See examples below, plus contact SES is you have a specific program/service in mind, and we will let you know if we can meet your needs.  Remember that while these are fee for service; they save you money in the end.

• For small buildings, SES can perform energy audits and prepare building models suitable for applying for federal funding for energy conservation retrofits.
• SES can conduct energy assessments (walk-through audits) for buildings that don’t qualify for the ACU/SES Energy Conservation for Non-Profit Organizations.
• SES can calculate energy savings you have achieved from energy retrofits.
• SES has cooperated with various organizations coordinating national programs within Saskatchewan.

Real Life Examples:

• SES’ Energy Conservation Projects Coordinator (Angie Bugg, P.Eng.) is experienced in using RETScreen and is a member of the RETScreen International Network of Experts. RETScreen is a software package that is used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.  It is used to model renewable energy technologies, and energy conservation retrofits.  Angie had modeled 6 small and medium Saskatchewan buildings and used RETScreen to model potential energy savings in the buildings.  Three of these facilities have gone on to apply for and be approved for ecoEnergy funding from Natural Resources Canada.  She has worked with stores, churches, manufacturing facilities, and restaurants.
• SES can conduct energy assessments (walk-through audits) for buildings that don’t qualify for the ACU/SES Energy Conservation for Non-Profit Organizations.
• SES can calculate energy savings you have achieved from energy retrofits.  For example, the Confederation Inn have been working hard to reduce their energy consumption.  A combination of behaviour and technical changes has helped them achieve 30% savings in their overall utility costs.  SES used energy bills and weather data to calculate electricity, gas and water consumption savings.

SES has cooperated with various organizations coordinating national programs within Saskatchewan.  For example SES coordinated the Clean Air Achievers Champions for the One-Tonne Challenge for two years.   This program brought national team athletes into schools to motivate students to take the federal government’s One-Tonne Challenge.  When that program ended, we coordinated their Clean Air Achievers program for one year.  Clean Air Achievers uses national team athletes to motivate students to use active transportation.
