27 Nov REALice featured in FortisBC commercial
We are thrilled that FortisBC features REALice in one of their energy conservation commercials. The 30-second clip, featuring Jim Kobialko, the Conservation & Energy Management Program Manager for Fortis BC, has been posted on the web and is also being shown on TV.
Reducing Costs and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
“With this new technology,” Kobialko says, “you can actually use cold water for resurfacing. Not only is there cost savings, there’s a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.”

Background:
In 2014, FortisBC ran a large scale pilot project that introduced the REALice cold water ice resurfacing technology to 10 ice arenas across BC. According to FortisBC, by using REALice these ice arenas cumulatively reduced their energy consumption by 2,900 gigajoules per year! That’s like taking 714 cars off the road annually!
The commercial is a part of a series of ads which explain how FortisBC looks for new technologies for its customers to adopt, and by providing conservation and energy management rebates, it is helping its customers reduce costs and save energy.
