Kudos from our Clients

Fort Vermilion School Division

“For people like myself money talks. If we can engage someone like Rede to find inefficiencies within our facilities, then we are able to address them. Once we correct these inefficiencies, they result in operational savings. These can either reduce our expenditures or alternatively be reinvested to address other issues. The byproduct is creating a greener facility which being an education leader we should emulate.”

High Prairie School Division

Rede’s energy report has allowed me is to understand in non-technical jargon (or when technical jargon is used, it is well-explained) the consumption and costs across the division and per school. I can immediately identify the areas where there are opportunities for growth and areas where we are doing very well. It lets data drive your decisions and not your assumptions.”

High Prairie School Division, Alberta

Grande Prairie Public School Division

“Rede is progressive. They have helped us understand new ideas and strategies. Maintenance staff and facility operators can learn something from Rede. They have good strategies and good ideas, and they are well versed in what they talk about. Rede has proved that to us. They have followed through on their commitments and we can see the value on the bottom line in our billing.”

Cariboo-Chilcotin School District #27

“As the manager of facilities with 200 staff members taking care of transportation, maintenance, energy management, and health and safety, I wear many hats. I quickly realized that to meet our goals of reducing energy costs and our carbon footprint, we’d need some professionals on board. The Rede team is all about proactively implementing energy solutions—they see a gap—and they take care of it, from planning and overseeing major capital upgrades, to student engagement, to generating meaningful reports. I’ve come to rely on Rede Energy, and the bottom line savings have been significant year over year.”

Northland School Division

“Before Northlands started working with Rede, we had no energy management plan at all. We just paid our utilities as they came in and we had a lot of older equipment. We recognized quickly that we can save money with an energy management program. With Rede, we have moved forward with an energy charter for the school division that now guides everything we do. The energy charter was instrumental in getting us organized. A number of schools have been completely retrofitted in lighting, and that has translated into savings in our yearly utility budget. We can already see improvements in our utility records, 3 to 5 months from when the installs were done.”

Wayne Turpin, Construction Manager
Northland School Division, Alberta

Fort Nelson School District #81

“Rede has worked with us on several successful school energy projects over the course of five years or more. Because of the team’s expertise and familiarity with our buildings and systems, we’ve come to rely on its responsiveness and guidance—and we’d hate to lose that. We find everyone at Rede approachable, down-to-earth, and accommodating, and this has allowed us to build a very comfortable working relationship together and learn much more than we expected. We look forward to being able to count on Rede’s team of professionals in the years to come.”

Margaret-Ann Hall, Secretary Treasurer

Peace River South School District #59

“Matthew Redekopp and the Rede team were a terrific asset for SD59 in getting our school energy management program underway. We really appreciated their depth of knowledge, innovative solutions, and positive approach. It was good to execute on a prioritized plan that would deliver tangible savings and pay-backs.”

Gerry Slykhuis, Former Secretary Treasurer
Peace River South School District #59, Dawson Creek, BC

Bulkley School District #54

“I really appreciated Matthew Redekopp’s confident, straight-forward responses to my questions from our first meeting. We believed we had done a pretty good job at school energy management and conservation ourselves, so we challenged the Rede team to do even better! We were delighted when it did—it has resulted in significant energy cost reductions, improved mechanical/HVAC technology, and a reduction in our school carbon footprint. We are meeting all our goals. It’s a pleasure to work with such passionate professionals who make a personal commitment to our joint successes. I am happy to recommend Rede to fellow school district facility directors.”

Ed Hildebrandt, Former Director of Facilities
Bulkley School District #54, Smithers, BC

Prince Rupert School District #52

“The comprehensive energy studies produced by Rede Energy Solutions Ltd. have played a vital role in helping our district achieve its school energy conservation targets. Their work has successfully helped us reduce our greenhouse gasses, contributed to our capital grant applications, and helped us attain substantial operational savings. I would recommend their team to anyone interested in meaningfully improving their organization’s environmental stewardship direction, while managing building assets more effectively.”

Dave Garcia, Former Director of Operations
Prince Rupert School District #52, Prince Rupert, BC

Sunshine Coast School District #46

“Working with Matthew Redekopp and the Rede team has been an excellent experience. What we most appreciate is Matthews’s ability to really listen to our challenges, then come up with innovative and effective solutions. For example, when we expressed frustration with getting students onboard with our energy conservation program, he developed and delivered a powerful student engagement program. The students really enjoy his approach and style—and we know that when students get engaged and enthusiastic, is when they learn best. We’re happy to have a capable team to work with, that understands the issues, to help with projects we just can’t get to; we look forward to working with Rede far into the future.”

Rob Collison, Director of Facilities
Sunshine Coast School District #46, Gibsons, BC
