Mission
Encores' tenacious pursuit is to help buildings go green to benefit the environment and people for generations to come.
Why are we so passionate?
Our environment needs us to take action! We have the ability to change our decisions and actions on a daily basis to make positive impacts. The two biggest changes we can make are in the areas of energy and water.
Energy and water costs in multi-residential buildings can account for anywhere from 25 to 30 per cent of total operating costs. Improving energy and water efficiency can decrease operating costs, reduce maintenance fees, lower tenant turnover rates, increase the asset value of property, extend the life of the building and help the environment.
Over 50 per cent of housing in Canada was constructed prior to 1980. Few of those have been upgraded to today's standards of energy efficiency. Implementing energy and water efficiency is a crucial consideration for today's property managers, building owners and every person on the planet.
