The Halifax Seaport is getting sophisticated energy-reducing upgrades

November 1, 2025

The Port of Halifax is implementing a new building automation system (BAS) throughout its facilities at the Halifax Seaport, the arts and cultural district on the waterfront’s south end.

The BAS centralizes heating, cooling, and ventilation controls, reducing energy waste and enhancing comfort for tenants and visitors.

Real-time monitoring facilitates a quick informed staff response to changing conditions, which optimizes performance. By remotely managing its building assets, the port is improving energy efficiency and lowering emissions.

The initiative reflects the port’s long-term commitment to a low-carbon future, demonstrating how targeted investments in building technology can advance environmental objectives.
