E*i*'yt?, January 8th, 2003 Wvcliffe ProDertv Management Limited To Whom lt May Concern. Re: Analysts of Pneumatic Services-Energy Savings lnitiatives Since its inception over 40 year ago Wycliffe Property Management Limited has grown to the point where e manage over two million square feet of commercial and industrial property in the greater Toronto area for various owners. As part of our portfolio, for the last eight (8) years we have acted as property managers of shops on Steeles and 404, a 280,000 square foot shopping Centre located in Thornhill, Ontario. Approximately 6 years ago upon a recommendation received from Carrier Canada we met with Dave Strain, owner of analysts of Pneumatic Services (APS) to evaluate the Shops Centre's H.V.A.C. system with the goal of completely automating the control pneumatics to bring in "free" outside air when temperature fell below 10C. After upgrading the pneumatic system and installing safety features to prevent freezing of the coils etc., we were able to annually shut down our 347 ton centrifugal chiller for 5 y2 months, relying solely on the "free" air provided, this resulted in energy savings of over 30%, In another mater A,P.S. found perimeter electric base board heaters were being used indiscriminately by Tenants while the cooling system was functioning. In light of t:his AP.S. developed a morning "warmup" process which was initiated by using excess heat from our boilers to supply warm air through V.A.V. boxes in each Tenant space. The electric baseboard heaters were then put under mall control, only activating if temperatures dropped below set point. This additional energy savings iniative helped to bring our consumption cost savings down another 10% from previous usage. The quality of the air has actually improved with these innovations. Dave Strain's professional expertise has benefited The Shops on Steeles and 404 tremendously over the years and we have found him completely dedicated in his ongoing quest for helping the environment through saving energy, I¢y#-r €""::::ife:i"*€%&"p`""":hi #.RE±±[#RE; -fu##E\ ttperaliL.jns ,ttanz!&er tSr``3pcrj.y Head Office 1485 Whitehorse Road Downsview, Ontario M3| 2Z2 Telephone (416) 635-2910 Fa`k (416) 635-7869 Branch Office 2900 Steeles Av.
