Great to hear that the building integrated photovoltaic system at Enwave Theatre at Harbourfront Centre was funded by the City of Toronto’s mandatory Percent for Public Art Program. Yes, there could have been more photovoltaic integrated into the building, but more importantly, this has set a precedent that other building developers can easily follow. Hopefully, with this precedent in place we will see more of a market for BIPV in Toronto, and maybe even a local manufacturer of BIPV products.
For more information about BIPV opportunities in Toronto please see this great slideshare presentation by Rob McMonagle at the City of Toronto for a recent OSEA Webinar on BIPV: Initial Thoughts on Industry Development Opportunities for Toronto.
