1 EXECUTIVE'SUMMARY'

The! Ontario! Provincial! Government! has! committed! to! help! public! agencies! better! understand! and!

manage!their!energy!consumption.!As!part!of!this!commitment,!Ontario'Regulation'397/11!under!the!

Green' Energy' Act' 2009! requires! public! agencies,! including! municipalities,! municipal! service! boards,!school! boards,! universities,! colleges! and! hospitals! to! report! on! their! energy! consumption! and!

greenhouse! gas! (GHG)! emissions! annually! beginning! in! 2013,! and! to! develop! and! implement! energy!Conservation!and!Demand!Management!(CDM)!Plans!starting!in!2014.!

The!purpose!of!the!Northwest!Catholic!District!School!Board!(NCDSB)!energy!Conservation!and!Demand!Management!Plan!is!to!develop!a!framework!for!Northwest!Catholic!District!School!Board!to!understand!

the!historical!impact!of!its!operations!on!greenhouse!gas!(GHG)!emissions,!and!to!take!action!by!setting!

GHG! reduction! targets.! ! The! first! objective! of! this! report! was! the! development! of! an! energy!Conservation!and!Demand!Management!Plan! that!addressed! the! facets!of!energy!consumption! in! the!

school.!This!included!the!development!of!a!GHG!emissions!inventory,!benchmarking!Northwest!Catholic!District! School! Board's! existing! energy! intensity! performance! relative! to! other! schools,! identifying!

2 KEY'COMPONENTS''

The%Big%Picture%

Sustainability! is! a! concept!which!meets! the!needs!of! the!present!without! compromising! the!ability!of!

future!generations!to!meet!their!own!needs.!!This!is!sometimes!referred!to!as!the!“triple!bottom!line”.!

• Environmental! Sustainability:! ! Managing! the! effects! of! human! activity! so! that! it! does! not!permanently!harm!the!natural!environment.!

• Economic! Sustainability:! ! Managing! the! financial! transactions! associated! with! human!activities! so! that! they! can!be! sustained!over! the! long! term!without! incurring!unacceptable!human!hardship.!

• Social/Cultural!Sustainability:! !Allowing!human!activity! to!proceed! in!such!a!way!that!social!relationships! between! people! and! the! many! different! cultures! around! the! world! are! not!adversely!affected!or!irreversibly!degraded.!

An!energy!Conservation!and!Demand!Management!Plan!is!the!sum!of!measures!planned!and!carried!out!to!achieve!the!objective!of!using!the!minimal!possible!energy!while!maintaining!the!comfort! levels! (in!

offices! or! dwellings)! and! production! rates! (in! factories).! ! It! can! be! applied! to! any! process! or! building!where!energy!use!is!required.!To!make!an!efficient!use!of!the!energy!and,!as!a!consequence,!to!save!it,!

the!actions!are!focused!on:!

• Energy!Conservation,!

• Energy!Recovery,!

• Energy!Substitution,!

• Corporate!Goals!and!Objectives,!and!

• Corporate!Fiscal!Management.!

Analysis%and%Benchmarking%

It!is!important!to!recognize!the!value!of!benchmarking!and!comparison!as!a!starting!point.!!By!examining!

the! School! Board’s! current! energy! consumption! patterns! and! comparing! them! with! others,! a! better!

understanding!of!the!opportunities!and!the!pitfalls!of!energy!conservation!and!sustainability!planning!as!experienced!by!other!public!agencies!is!gained.!!This!exposure,!combined!with!the!information!gleaned!

from! the! energy! audits,! will! allow! NCDSB! to! focus! on! strategies! that! have! been! proven! successful!elsewhere!and!can!be!tailored!to!the!unique!nature!of!the!School!Board.!

It! is! apparent! that! energy! conservation! is! being! considered! and! implemented! in!most! Public! Sectors!across! Ontario! and! Canada.! As! well,! the! insights! gained! through! the! experiences! with! energy!

conservation!can!be!used!as!a!springboard!to!further!the!NCDSB’s!sustainability!strategies!to!encompass!

both! operational! and! policy! improvements.! Many! public! agencies! are! taking! their! understanding! of!

!

Page'|'4!!!

environmental! issues! and! conservation! beyond! energy! consumption! and! recycling,! by! addressing! the!

more!complex!issues!of!water!management,!heat!island!effect,!and!light!pollution,!to!name!a!few.!!

Regulatory%Requirements%

Under!Ontario!Regulation!397/11!(Part!of!the!Green'Energy'Act,!2009),!all!public!sector!agencies!must!now!comply!with!mandatory!reporting!requirements.!!By!2013,!all!energy!consumption!at!School!Board!

NCDSB!to!meet!all!of!its!mandatory!reporting!requirements.!

Key%Factors%and%Constraints%

It!is!important!to!both!NCDSB’s!future!and!to!its!image!in!the!public!at!large!to!understand!the!value!of!a!

comprehensive!CDM!Plan.!!Many!people!around!the!world!are!beginning!to!embrace!the!notion!that!the!earth’s! environment! and!precious! resources! need! to! be! conserved.! !However,! the! necessary! changes!

will!not!happen!overnight.!To!be!successful,!a!comprehensive!energy!management!plan!should!embrace!longgterm!thinking,!taking!advantage!of!“low!hanging!fruit”!to!achieve!immediate!cost!savings!which!will!

be!redirected!to!more!complex!projects!involving!higher!initial!costs!with!larger!net!benefits.!!

Public!agencies!should!realize!that!each!of!their!circumstances!is!unique!and!may!not!lend!themselves!to!

‘boiler! plate’! solutions! used! in!many! private! sector! segments.! ! Those!who!have!met! their! goals! have!utilized! the! advantages! of! the! unique! physical! and! nongphysical! attributes! of! their! facilities,! including!

green!power!generation!on!large!flat!roofs!and!community!gardens!on!their!large!properties.!While!it!is!

easy! to!be! focused!on! the! larger! solutions,! even! seemingly! small! efforts! can!make!a!major! longgterm!impact!on!the!overall!goal.!!A!good!example!of!this!is!Energy!Awareness!training!which!encourages!Staff!

to!take!simple!and!effective!actions!such!as!turning!off!lights!and!computers!when!not!in!use.!

Ongoing!professional!development!is!also!a!key!factor!in!the!success!of!a!CDM!Plan!to!ensure!that!Staff!

Members!understand!their!role!in!the!greater!goal.!The!CDM!Plan!and!accompanying!education!should!be!a!required!part!of!their!daily!activities.!

While! realities! of! budget! restrictions! are! an! important! consideration! in! any! planning! activity,! it! is!

possible!to!achieve!energy!savings!while!adhering!to!the!financial!constraints!of!a!publiclygfunded!School!Board! system.! It! is! clear! that! new! technology! and! ideology! changes! have! produced! continued!

Historically,! NCDSB! has! addressed! Energy! Conservation! and! Demand! Management! on! a! projectgbyg

project! basis.! Capital! projects! were! implemented! based! on! equipment’s! expected! useful! life! or! in!

response! to! equipment! emergency! breakdowns.! ! Utility! savings,! realized! as! a! result! of! the!implementation!of!these!individual!projects,!have!not!historically!been!uniquely!reported!formally,!but!

have!been!considered!as!a!component!of!general!operations.! !Thus,!they!have!been!reported!through!utility!expenses!in!the!Accounting!System.!!Sustainability!and!longgterm!energy!reduction!goals,!through!

this!CDM!Plan,!will!become!integral!components!of!the!business!reporting!system.!

Utility! costs! were! viewed! as! a! fixed! overhead! cost.! ! The! management! of! these! costs! relied! on! an!

exceptiongbased!investigation!approach.!!In!other!words,!utility!costs!were!only!reviewed!if!a!utility!bill!

was!much!higher,!or!lower,!than!typical.!

In!2013,!NCDSB!embarked!upon!a!strategic!energy!auditing!project.!!The!purpose!of!these!audits!was!to!

identify! and! analyze! potential! energy! conservation! and! demand! management! opportunities.! ! These!efforts! have! been! instrumental! in! assisting! NCDSB! in! aligning! the! CDM! Plan! with! the! School! Board’s!

Concerns!surrounding!energy!consumption!with! regard! to!climate!change!and!air!pollution!have!been!

well! documented.! Since! 1990,! Ontario’s! greenhouse! gas! emissions! have! increased! 14%.! The!Government!of!Ontario!estimates!that!75%!of!Ontario’s!greenhouse!gas!emissions!are!associated!with!

the! consumption! of! fossil! fuels! for! energy! purposes.! ! Increased! smog! and! air! pollution! are! also!connected! to! the! consumption! of! energy.! Ontario’s! electricity! generation! is! the! Province’s! second!

largest! source! of! sulfur! dioxide! and! the! third! largest! source! of! nitrogen! oxides.! These! pollutants! can!

cause!irreparable!harm!to!human!health.!

Societal%

The! 2003! Blackout! heightened! societal! concerns! surrounding! the! stability! and! security! of! our! energy!supply.!Energy!has!been!imbedded!into!most!societal!practices.!If!energy!consumption!is!not!managed!

appropriately,!the!frequency!of!energy!interruption!and!the!subsequent!societal!disruption!will!increase.!
