What is CRP?
Campus Renewal Partnership (CRP) is an energy reduction and facility renewal plan co-developed by McMaster University and Ameresco Canada. Its goal is to improve McMaster's aging physical assets, such as buildings, heating and cooling systems, lighting fixtures, etc.

Thanks to the CRP, McMaster is saving $1.5 million annually in utility costs.

Even with a steadily increasing campus footprint and population, we are currently exceeding our overall savings targets by 7%.

In 2005, the campus reduced greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) by 11,252 tonnes, which is the equivalent of taking 1,354 cars off the road.
