"We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with one of Canada's leading integrated real-estate companies and help them bring their sustainability strategy to life", says Chris Ridabock, President and COO, Energy Advantage Inc. "The real estate industry is a key focus area for our Company and the opportunity to work with an industry leader like Morguard further reinforces our commitment to this important Canadian business sector".

Energy Advantage's data management solution will collect, track, analyze and report on Morguard's portfolio-wide energy and environmental data in a manner which supports building operations management and corporate information needs alike.
