In 2014 the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association (OSEA) and Decentralised Energy Canada (DEC) are partnering to bring the success of the Ontario Green Energy Doors Open to Alberta.
Alberta’s Green Energy Doors Open 2014 (GEDO14AB) is an annual, single-day, province-wide showcase providing you with access to Decentralised Energy (DE) projects, businesses, manufacturing sites, education programs and other related initiatives. GEDO 2014 takes place Saturday, October 4th.
We encourage all users, producers and advocates of decentralised energy to open their doors in order to raise awareness, understanding and support for DE.
It is our goal to raise awareness, understanding and support for decentralised energy by providing people with the opportunity to visit, see, touch and talk about the projects in their backyard.

The Oilfields Regional Arena/Scott Seaman Sports Rink have a combination of energy efficiency, energy management and alternative energy. This is two hockey arenas – one indoor with artificial ice, one outdoor refrigerated ice rink. The indoor arena (Oilfields Regional Arena) has many energy efficiency items that have reduced the power consumption, water consumption and natural gas consumption. Some of the items undertaken are: energy efficient furnaces, water heater, power factor correction, insulation, low flow toilets, power cleaning/lightning protection, led lighting, energy management system, 5 solar systems and 2 wind turbines totaling 19.15 kilowatts of alternative energy. The Outdoor arena refrigeration system is also connected to the energy management system (which is controlled by the ice temperature and a weather station), the change room building has in floor heating with an on demand water heater.
