Green Energy Futures #35: Reimagine is a movement started by Edmonton architectural firm Manasc Isaac to inspire the people who own aging office buildings not to knock them down but to re-insulate and replace the skin of the building while also replacing the mechanical and electrical systems.
Not only do the re-skinned buildings save a ton of money on operating expenses, the example we feature now uses 70 per cent less natural gas, by re-using an existing building you save all of the energy and money that would have gone into knocking it down and starting from scratch.
