Media Advisory Attn: Community, Environment, Business, Real Estate Editors and Reporters Brampton apartment building earns $66,400 for conservation upgrades - highest single rebate to date in province-wide multi-residential program Brampton based Vertica Resident Services and GWL Realty Advisors will be presented with a cheque for $66,400 in rebates for reducing their electricity consumption. As an applicant of the Multifamily Energy Efficiency Rebate (MEER) initiative the building, located at 8 Silver Maple Court, will accept the largest single rebate cheque to date from GreenSaver, the program manager for MEER. The rebate was earned as a result of replacing an old chiller unit and cooling tower with a higher efficiency unit. This upgrade alone will reduce electricity consumption by 64,000 kWh each year. The event will take place at the Brampton stop in GreenSaver's province-wide Rebates Road Show. The event includes lunch, an interactive presentation on the MEER initiative, and an application workshop for anyone wanting support in applying to the program.
