        Smart City Foundation with No Upfront Capital – Recover Faster & Smarter

        Smart City technology isn’t just for big cities. Small to medium-sized cities can also reap short and long term benefits from becoming smarter, and more connected. By doing so now, it can help accelerate a city’s recovery by gathering essential data that can improve city services, and bring all of their constituents into the online world to help with evolving educational and employment requirements. Smart City applications and connectivity will also attract new employment opportunities from the digital economy, leading to more modern and livable cities through the coming months and years, producing a faster recovery.

        All of this can now be done with complete project financing by RealTerm Energy, without the need for city funds. Nor does the city need to take on any additional debt. By unlocking the savings potential locked in their existing streetlight assets, the energy and maintenance savings alone can pay for the entire smart LED network, and lay the foundation to become a Smart City. Through RealTerm Energy’s Energy Performance Contract, the money that is currently being spent on inefficient and antiquated lighting can be reallocated to a much more beneficial use, making this a cost neutral improvement that can quickly enable a city to become smarter, better and help it recover faster.

        Recognized by the World Bank

        The World Bank Group estimates that 20% of global electricity is consumed by lighting and predicts widespread adoption of LED lighting can reduce that to 7%.

        Our partnership in the joint-procurement model developed with LAS (Local Authority Services) and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario has been deemed by the World Bank as being among the most efficient and successful delivery models in the world.

        Testimonial

        The LED streetlight conversion project went very smoothly. The RealTerm team converted 10,622 High Pressure Sodium lights to LED in three months (57 working days). We had very few complaints on any aspect of the project, especially considering this change impacted virtually every resident in Barrie.

        Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems account for up to 45% of total energy usage in buildings. Inefficient and poorly designed systems are costly to manage, often ineffective at maintaining comfort levels and major producers of greenhouse gases. This Smart Building HVAC technology, courtesy of our sister company BrainBox AI, uses self-adapted artificial intelligence technology to deliver you significant savings and dramatically reduce carbon emissions, enabling a self-operating building.
