HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, February 20, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Shannex, a senior living accommodations company based in Canada, is expanding its environmental sustainability efforts by incorporating Ecopilot® Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology across its communities. After witnessing significant energy consumption reductions from a 2020 pilot project in Nova Scotia, Shannex plans to extend Ecopilot®'s AI for HVAC systems to 24 additional communities in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ontario.
Kim MacDonald, Vice President of Property and Support Services at Shannex, emphasized the organization's commitment to sustainability, stating, “Shannex is on a journey to transform the way sustainability is prioritized within our organization, and we’ve set ambitious goals to help us deliver on this commitment. Working with strong partners like Ecopilot Canada is making a big difference.”
The initiative is expected to be completed early this year, with anticipated energy savings of 3,830,000 kilowatt-hours (KWh), which equates to the annual power consumption of nearly 350 homes.
Jennie King, General Manager at EcoPilot Canada | USA, expressed her support for Shannex's sustainability goals, noting, “We are thrilled to support Shannex in achieving their green goals. Our extensive growth across Canada and the U.S. indicates a rising demand for innovative, cost-effective solutions. Ecopilot® is market-proven, easy to install, and significantly reduces energy consumption.”
Shannex's commitment to environmental stewardship was recently recognized with the 2023 Carbon Hero Award by EcoPilot Canada | USA, celebrating the company's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and inspire action against climate change.
