A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
In 2015, Prism Engineering wrote a Re-Commissioning Report for Selkirk College, Castlegar Campus. The study resulted in a list of measures that could be taken to make operational improvements and reduce energy consumption. The College has taken action on a number of these measures and has completed the following ones, with respect to the Direct Digital Control (DDC) system :
-Adjust Weekly Schedules
-Implement a DDC Summer Schedule
-Gym Air Handling Units (HVU’s) - Demand Controlled Ventilation

A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
A Power Saints Campaign was launched in 2015. This campaign was the result of an audit carried out that documented total appliances in personal offices. Education about the college's energy reduction goals and about alternatives to high energy consuming appliances was offered to employees. Incentives were offered to employees who made changes that increased energy efficiency.
