Performance-Based Conservation (PBC)
Pilot Project
Demonstrating Performance-Based Conservation (PBC) with
commercial and institutional customers in service areas of Milton
Hydro, Halton Hills Hydro, and Alectra (Brampton)
Last Call for Participants
October 4th 2017
Project Overview
• Address electrical capacity bottleneck in north west Greater
Toronto Area
• Collaboration between electric, natural gas and water utility
companies
• Timelines: to December 2018
• Pilot size: up to150 buildings
• Eligibility: institutional and commercial customers
– commercial office
– commercial retail
– schools
– municipalities
– hospitals

What is Performance-Based
Conservation?
A new, data-driven methodology for commercial sector customer
engagement, project identification and savings verification
• Begins with benchmarking, targets and savings potential
– Finds the high-potential buildings
• Narrows down site-specific areas of opportunity in each building
– Finds the high-potential measures
• Applies systematic, evidence-based principles to find the best
operational and retrofit projects
• Drives continuous improvement through monitoring actual savings

How does Performance-Based
Conservation work?
A focused, systematic process for maximizing electricity, natural gas,
water and emissions savings in commercial and institutional buildings
• Applies site-specific energy and water targets rather than
assumptions and calculations
• Strategic identification of high-potential buildings, and data-driven
identification of energy savings measures
• Highlighting operations and maintenance savings as well as retrofit
opportunities
• Closing the loop through monitoring savings and surfacing of
additional measures, leaving nothing on the table

energy source (purchased heat, chilled water, electric heat, heat pumps, air
conditioning)
non-standard space types and equipment, based on good energy efficient
system design and operational practice

Energy Star Portfolio Manager
• Compares and benchmarks buildings against other similar buildings across
Canada
• Portfolio Manager provides a score from 1-100 comparing your building against
a database of similar Canadian buildings, where 1 represents the lowest
performer and 100 represents the top performing building
Values highlighted in red are below the LEED EB: O+M 2009 certification requirements
Benefits of participation
• Understand your buildings’ conservation potential - how
energy efficient they can be
– deeper savings
– harder-to-get-at operational savings
• Have your buildings set up in Energy Star Portfolio Manager
for ongoing tracking
• Collaborate with other owners and utility companies on
leading edge energy and water conservation
• Help shape a new, integrative approach to maximizing energy
and emissions reductions
• Tap into all available incentive programs and technical
expertise
• Help alleviate electrical capacity limitation
12
Process
• Utility and building information collected for:
– savings potential analysis
– Energy Star Portfolio Manager benchmarking
• Participants fill out:
– Data Release Form for automatic data transfer from utilities
– Building Profile template for their building type(s)
• Participants receive:
– an energy assessment report quantifying conservation
potential and identifying areas where savings can be made
– participation in workshops to develop site-specific energy action
plans
13
Workshops
• Initial workshops are being held to:
– identify site-specific energy opportunities
– develop action plans and timelines with emphasis on operational
savings
– determine how utilities can assist with implementing
conservation measures
• Follow up workshops will be held in 2018 to review actual
savings, reinforce the process and find further opportunities
14
Implementation, Monitoring and
Verification
• After each workshop, utilities will follow up with participants to
help overcome any difficulties encountered with implementing
measures, and close the loop on actual savings achieved
• At the end of the monitoring period (2018), a final report will
document actual savings and overall impact of the pilot
15
Final Report
• The final report will present:
– Results
– Lessons learned
– Conclusions and recommendations
– Recognition of participants and contributions

How to participate
• Contact TRCA to answer any questions and confirm you’re in
• Fill out Data Release Form which allows utilities to provide
2015, 2016 and current data directly to TRCA
• Fill out the Building Profile template to determine your savings
potential, Energy Star Score, and identify energy opportunities
• Take part in the 2 scheduled workshops
• Learn and contribute, reduce energy and emissions and
SAVE MONEY!
