SHARING DATA
“When you tag a building as net zero it
generated a great deal of interest from peo-
ple,” Cupido says. “We need to be incredibly
accurate with the information and data we are
generating through the operation of this build-
ing and the only way to do that is to submeter
the building. We have over 50 submeters to
help us understand how efficiently it is operat-
ing and how effectively we are managing the
building.”
InMay 2018, the Joyce Centre became the sec-

of the Year by the Ontario Society of Profes-
sional Engineers, the 2018 Environmental Sus-
tainability Award by the Alectra Energy Evolu-
