Summary
The Vancouver School Board has engaged in energy conservation measures for a number of years. Over the past decade the District has initiated a number of energy saving activities and achieved savings of seven (7) GWhs annually of electricity consumption. These savings represent an avoided cost of $700,000 annually, and conservation of 20 % of the District’s total electricity consumption. Savings of natural gas have also been less dramatic though measures are beginning to be implemented to address this consumption.
This plan document identifies a five year program of activities to reduce energy use, manage rising electricity costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 2013/2014 to 2017/2018. It includes a summary analysis of the energy consumption of VSB schools at present, and a project list of identified activities to be implemented.
The energy savings expected from projects in each year of the plan are in the range of 500,000 to over 1,000,000 ekWh (see Figure S-1).
These savings continue into subsequent years after implementation and the avoided cost of these conservation efforts will last many years. The avoided costs savings from the measures identified to-date are in the range of $ 400k annually by the fifth year (see figure S-2).

Figure S-2: Annual Energy Cost Savings
Implementation costs have not been identified for all projects but are expected to be in the range of $3 million dollars over 5 years from a combination of maintenance budgets, AFG, capital projects and external grants. Potential incentives from BC Hydro over this period are estimated in the range of 500 k$ over the five years. This indicates a simple payback (after incentives) for the entire package in the range of 8-10 years.
This plan defines target reductions of:
• 10% reduction of electricity use
• 5% reduction of natural gas consumption.
Progress towards these targets is shown separately for electricity (Figure S-3) and natural gas (Figure S-4). To-date projects have been identified (*though not all funded) that will achieve the reduction target for electricity. Further development of natural gas conserving projects will be made during year 3, with the intent to implement in years 4 and 5. A focus of this work will be to identify CNCP funding for boiler plant upgrades.

Acronyms and Abbreviations BEPI “Building Energy Performance Index”. A measure of the energy used by a building - on a
“per floor area” basis (typically kWh/ft^2). BEPI is a common energy metric used in building operations and can include all energy use – heating, lighting, systems, and plug loads, or can be analyzed for one component, or one fuel only.
CNCP Carbon Neutral Capital Program. A grant fund available to school districts. It currently dispenses about $5 million per year across the province for projects that reduce carbon emissions, and improve energy efficiency.
C.Op. “Continuous Optimization” - a program of BC Hydro to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings through a review of operating issues. Commonly thought of as a ‘tune-up’ for buildings. BC Hydro provides 50% cost share funding for many of the activities of the program.
ekWh equivalent kWh. The energy use converted into kWh for a common presentation as in a BEPI value. One GJ of natural gas consumption converts to 278 ekWh.
EMIS Energy Management Information System (EMIS): A software (and possible a piece of equipment) applied to a utility meter to obtain near real time information of the energy consumption of the facility. Historically, utility consumption information was only available through monthly billing records.
DDC Direct Digital Control: A computerized control system for a building.
GJ “Giga Joule” – literally, a billion joules. A measure of energy – most often used with natural gas or other heating fuels. A GJ is about the energy contained in a tank of gas for a passenger car.
kW kilo-watt (thousands of Watts) a measure of how fast energy is consumed (not how much). A kilo-Watt is approximately the power used by a counter-top kettle or a microwave oven
kWh kilo watt-hour. “Thousands” of watt-hours. A measure of energy consumed - but not how fast it is consumed. A kWh is equivalent to 100 Watt light bulbs turned on for one hour.
LEED Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. A rating system of the design and construction of buildings.
NCP New Construction Program. A BC Hydro incentive program to encourage the construction of high efficiency buildings.
PSPX Power Smart Express. A program of BC Hydro whereby incentives can be provided swiftly for direct change outs of equipment for more efficient equipment.

1 Introduction
The Vancouver Board of Education (VBE) is committed to continuously improve the energy and environmental performance of its operations and activities. The District has worked to conserve energy consumption for many years.
This document is the 2015 update at the end of year two of a five year Strategic Energy Management Plan (SEMP) designed to identify and track initiatives that will reduce energy consumption, manage energy costs, and reduce GHG emissions from VSB operations.
1.1 Objectives
The objectives of the strategic energy management plan (SEMP) are to:
• Define a multi-year strategy for managing energy and implementing energy conservation activities;
• Define an action plan list to compile and track actions over many years;
This document lays out a five year program of activities.
2 Context for Energy Management
2.1 VBE Policy Support for Energy Management
Several Board policies and District activities support energy management. These include:
• VSB Sustainability Framework: In 2010 the board endorsed a Sustainability Framework that included a vision that “the Vancouver School Board will be the greenest, most sustainable school district in North America”.1 The Framework identifies energy conservation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as “key result areas”.
• VSB strategic Plan (2011-2016): The Board’s 2011-2016 strategic plan includes four key goals. Goal #4 “Our school district is efficient, effective and sustainable” supports the business case for energy management to control utility costs.
• VSB Energy Manager: The VSB has been actively engaged in energy management for nearly a decade within the facilities department. Several staff have held roles as energy managers with a mandate to improve operations and control rising utility costs. Since 2009 the VBE has partnered with BC Hydro’s Energy Manager initiative - part of its PowerSmart program.

2.2 Provincial Drivers for Energy Management
The Province has several initiatives that promote energy management and conservation. These include:
• Carbon Neutral Public Sector: As a public sector organization in BC, the VBE is required to be carbon neutral through the purchase of carbon offsets. Offset purchases by the VSB are typically in the range of $450,000 annually. Actions that reduce energy consumption will reduce the cost of offset purchases by the District.
• Ministry of Education’s Climate Action Charter: The VSB is a signatory to this charter – a partnership agreement between school boards and the Ministry of Education. Among other initiatives, it provides for the return of carbon tax paid on natural gas and vehicle fuels to the District. The carbon tax rebate flows to general revenue.
• Carbon Neutral Capital Program: The Carbon Neutral Capital Program (CNCP) is a Ministry of Education capital funding pool supporting energy efficiency activities for the K-12 sector. This fund distributes about $5 million annually through a competitive application process. The VBE could access about $2.0 million over five years.
2.3 Business Drivers for the SEMP
Energy management is a component of good facility operating practices. A number of drivers encourage energy management and conservation within the district including:
• Cost Management: Management of energy results in better management of energy utility costs.
• Infrastructure and asset management: Energy management is aligned with good infrastructure management practices.
• Instructional Comfort: A co-benefit of energy management is that properly tuned and functioning heating and lighting systems provide better functioning buildings, which lead to better occupant comfort and reduced occupant complaints.
2.4 BC Hydro Energy Management Partnership
The District is engaged in the BC Hydro Energy Manager program (through PowerSmart) for the K-12 educational sector. The Energy Manager program provides financial and technical support to energy managers across many sectors - including more than 10 different school districts.
The BC Hydro partnership is accomplished by an agreement between the District and BC Hydro identifying the responsibilities of each participant and the funding commitments. A component of this partnership is the development of this strategic energy management plan (SEMP).

2.5 Future Trends in Energy Pricing
Expectations for future pricing trends are that:
• Electricity will continue to rise in price. Recently announced cost increases are that electricity costs will rise each year for at least the next five years. Announced increases are 9% (April 1, 2014), 6% (April 1, 2015), and 4%, 3.5% and 3% for the each of the three years following. The total unit price increase over 5 years is almost 30% - resulting in about a $1 million cost increase to the District.
• Gas prices are currently low and are predicted to remain low for the next few years. However, price declines have ended and there is a return to some volatility in pricing of +/- 15% seasonally and annually at current levels.

3.2 Past Energy Management
The District has implemented a number of energy management activities over the past 5 – 10 years and achieved substantial reductions in energy use. These have primarily focused on electricity but have included some heating fuel actions including:
• Dozens of projects to replace older inefficient lighting systems (“T12s”) with more efficient fixtures, lamps, and ballasts. Most of these projects have received incentive funds through BC Hydro.
• Designing new facilities to high energy efficiency standards.
• Replacement of selected older boilers and heating plants to more efficient newer systems.
• Installation of power management software to turn off computers and monitors when not in use.
• Upgrading of attic insulation and air leakage sealing in selected schools.
• Pilot testing of innovative technologies in VSB facilities including window-film insulation, thermal camera imaging.
These efforts have resulted in energy reductions in the range of ~7 GWh of electricity consumption. At current prices, this represents over $ 700,000 annual in avoided costs.2
3.3 Energy Consumption and Spending Trends
Past energy management activities have been very successful in reducing energy consumption - particularly electricity. Figure 1 presents a 12 year history of electricity consumption and costs (normalized to 2002/03 being = 100). Over this period actual electricity consumption has declined by 7% - primarily through lighting retrofits, and computer management software. At the same time, electricity prices have increased such that the budget expenditure has increased 41%. The 2014/15 electricity expenditure was $ 3.24 million dollars.
2 Energy conservation activities result in reductions of consumption of electricity. However, in some years the reduced consumption is offset by new electrical load being brought on-line (e.g. a new school). As well, electricity consumption reductions are often offset by rising costs per unit of electricity. As a result, in spite of conservation activities, energy spending does not always decrease. To reflect this and avoid confusion with absolute value budget reductions, the costs savings achieved through conservation are called “avoided costs”.

Figure 1: Historical Electricity Consumption and Cost Index
Natural gas consumption is more variable than electricity consumption (see Figure 2) as the consumption is closely linked to the weather conditions. Mild winters have lower consumption than cold ones. From a cost perspective natural gas prices have been historically more volatile than electricity. From 2004 to about 2008 prices were volatile and increasing dramatically. Since 2009, prices have been decreasing and relatively stable. The 2014/15 natural gas expenditure was $ 3.0 million dollars.

3.4 Current Building Performance
Buildings are often compared by their “energy use intensity”. This metric is the energy use “per square meter” of floor area. This metric is commonly called a Building Energy Performance Index (BEPI).
3.4.1 Secondary Schools
The District operates 18 secondary schools, averaging about 18,000 m^2 each (about 190,000 square feet). Energy use intensities (BEPI values) range from 120 to 235 ekWh/m^2 – with a district wide average of 179 ekWh/m^2. (Figure 3). This measure captures the total of both electricity and natural gas.3
Figure 3: Energy Consumption Intensity: Secondary Schools
Notes: (a) Britannia school consumption is shown as net of the community center facilities by an estimate of the
School:community center split.
Energy conserving opportunities to be explored based on the energy use intensity include:
• Review the facility operation at the high electricity consuming facilities. Specifically this includes Magee, the Byng/JQ complex, the New U-hill school, Van Tech, and Britannia secondary.
3 While energy is purchased in different units (kWh for electricity), GJ for natural gas, litres for vehicle fuels, they can be converted into a standardized unit of energy. Equivalent KWh (ekWh) is used here.

• Review the commissioning of the new U-Hill secondary to ensure the operational strategy has been properly developed in the operational system.
• Review the facilities and operation of the best energy performing facilities (Hamber, and Windermere) to understand the factors that have resulted in this level or performance. These strategies can potentially be transferred to other schools.
The complete list of strategic actions is developed in Section 5.
3.4.2 Elementary Schools
The District operates 91 elementary schools, averaging about 4,100 square meters (about 43,000 square feet). BEPI values range from 80 to 220 kWh/m^2 – with a district wide average of 146 kWh/m^2. (Figure 4). Note that this is for the total of both electricity and natural gas.
Energy conserving opportunities to be explored based on the energy use intensity include:
• Review the poor performing schools (e.g. the 10-15 highest intensity, or consuming sites) to identify opportunities for conservation.
• Continue with lighting upgrades and replacement.
• Implement a C.Op. initiative at the indicated schools
3.4.3 Energy Studies and Evaluations
A number of schools have had energy studies performed and many of the resulting energy conservation measures (ECMs) have been installed. Studies for projects completed since 2013 are shown in Table 2. Most of the studies have been for lighting upgrades with a focus also on studies for BC Hydro’s New Construction Program (NCP) - these are energy efficient lighting and whole building energy modeling studies.
Virtually all of the study outcomes have been implemented or are underway.

4 Going Forward: Strategic Actions
This section provides an overview of the identified actions for reducing energy. A separate project spreadsheet is used to track actions.
Note: The 2015 version of this plan represents an update to the one established in 2014. Update comments are included to indicate activity in this action area.
4.1 Energy Management Objectives
Energy management activities must meet a number of objectives. These are to:
• Minimize annual energy, carbon tax, and carbon offset purchase costs,
• Reduce energy consumption,
• Minimize up-front capital costs for new and retrofit facilities,
• Reduce total greenhouse gas emissions, and
• Minimize long term maintenance and operational staff burden and cost of (energy related) facilities.
Achieving all of these objectives is not always straight forward. Effort for energy management must be designed to work to optimize these objectives as much as possible.
Action Area: Existing Facility Upgrades
Action 1: Lighting upgrades
Over the past decade the VSB has replaced a number of older lighting systems (“T12s”) with newer “T8” systems which include more efficient starting controls (ballasts).4 These projects have resulted in annual energy savings on the order of 2 - 3 GWh of annual electricity savings – representing cost reductions and/or avoided costs in the range of $300,000 per year.
The district still has a number of facilities with aging T12 lighting systems that would be beneficial to replace (and that aren’t on the seismic renewal list). Changing out this old lighting has co-benefits of improving the classroom lighting quality, and enabling staff to install seismically restrained lighting to improve safety.
This action will aim to:
4 Fluorescent bulb tubes are referred to by their diameter in eights of an inch – T12s” are 1 ½ inches in diameter and T8s are 1 inch in diameter. Within each size there are different wattages of bulbs, and newer control ballasts.
Vancouver School Board Strategic Energy Management Plan (SEMP): 2013/14 to 2017/18
2014/15 Update
Page 12
• complete a change out of T12 lighting systems for facilities that are not pending seismic upgrading over the five years of this plan.
2015 Update: Lighting projects were completed in 2013/14 with savings of ~700,000 kWh
Projects underway in 2014/15 have savings estimated at 475,000 kWh
Target projects for 2015/16 are about 500,000 kWh.
Action 2: Exterior lighting retrofits
New LED technologies have recently been coming to market that can provide exterior lighting with substantially lower power consumption. These may also have additional benefits of reduced maintenance or replacement due to a longer life span. The VSB has been pilot testing some exterior LED technologies. Not all products have been suitable or sufficiently durable but there is an emerging comfort with LED in exterior lighting applications.
This action will:
• implement a facilities review and develop a business case to retrofit exterior lighting through the District over a three year period.
2015 Update: At present external lighting is addressed when internal lighting projects are implemented at a site.
Stand-alone external lighting projects are being developed for potential implementation in 2016/17 and 2017/18.
Action 3: Occupancy sensor retrofits
Newer schools are built with modern lighting systems and include occupancy (i.e. motion detector) sensors. Most existing facilities have manual switches which rely on occupants to operate.5 Retrofitting occupancy sensors may have a business case in cafeteria, multi-purpose areas, and some classrooms. This action will:
• pilot test occupancy sensor retrofits for classroom and other spaces, and if promising
• develop a business case for a wider occupancy sensor retrofit initiative.
2015 Update: Occupancy sensors retrofits are proposed to be included in a lighting upgrade at Magee Secondary. These will be used to evaluate the retrofit potential.
Action 4: Tankless water heater deployment
‘Tankless’ (or ‘instantaneous’) water heaters provide hot water when it is needed – as opposed to ‘tank’ systems which have a heater maintaining a large volume of heated water regardless of whether there facility is occupied. The VSB has begun the deployment of tankless water heaters 5 Since about 2007 any gymnasium lighting projects have included motion sensors. Classroom level occupancy sensors have not been implemented with the most classroom retrofit projects.
Vancouver School Board Strategic Energy Management Plan (SEMP): 2013/14 to 2017/18
2014/15 Update
Page 13
at several locations. Some of the new schools are being built with tankless water systems from the outset (e.g. Norma Rose Point). This action will:
• encourage the use of tankless systems for future water heating applications.
2015 Update: X on-demand water heaters have been installed including retrofits to existing schools and in new schools.
Future installations will work capture utility rebates (Fortis) for these systems.
Action 5: Boiler replacement
The majority of existing boilers within the district are considered “at or beyond” their manufacturer’s specified service life (based on service life) - though all functioning boilers are well maintained, regularly inspected and meet BC Safety Authority requirements. As most schools operate for ~40-60 hours / week, there is rarely a viable business case to replace a functioning older boiler for a newer one on the basis of energy savings alone. However, replacements are made based on facility renewal, or available CNCP funding, as well as in future seismic retrofits.
When boilers are replaced, this action will:
• ensure that all new boilers are the most efficient possible for the expected operating conditions
• maximize uptake of Fortis incentive programs for more efficient boilers and heating equipment.
2015 Update: The CNCP program funded replacements of boilers in 2013 at Tyee, Fraser, and Moberly elementary. Incentive payments of $57k were provided by Fortis Gas.
The 2016 CNCP application will target funds for boiler plant upgrades.
Action 6: Explore the opportunity for a Fortis-funded Energy Specialist
Fortis BC provides funding support for an energy specialist person to work within a school district. Energy specialist activities are directed towards using natural gas more efficiently and the suitability for funding is dependent upon having suitable gas saving opportunities. The Fortis program is evolving and the metrics for energy specialist evaluation may be changing. This action will:
• work with Fortis BC to determine if an energy specialist position is viable for the VSB.
2015 Update: Working with Fortis to determine the opportunities. A requirement of an energy specialist is to have sufficient natural gas conservation projects identified.

Action Area: Operational Efficiencies
Action 7: Operator engagement in energy management
The VSB system includes operators located at each school. Many of the operators are very skilled at managing their building system for energy efficiency and these operators represent a resource for energy management. This action will:
• increase the understanding of energy efficiency opportunities through staff training and engagement,
• engage with operators to improve the energy efficiency of existing schools, and
• provide support to and engagement with building operators for the newer energy systems being built at new schools.
2015 Update: NRCan “Spot the Energy Savings” workshop presented to ~30 operators on 2014/15
Established monthly review sessions for the new NRP school to proactively address issues of energy management and equipment operation with the building operator.
Action 8: Continuous Optimization (“C.Op.”) Program initiative
The VSB has applied and been accepted for 18 buildings to be entered as part of the BC Hydro Continuous Optimization (“C.Op.”) program. The program provides a process for a “tune-up” of a building’s automation and control system. The process includes baseline tracking and energy studies and so takes about 18-36 months for each building. It is anticipated that the lessons learned will be transferable to other facilities in the district.
This action will:
• Implement the C.Op. program in phases.
2015 Update: Group 1 RFP to be issued summer 2015.
Action 9: DDC system upgrades and network connections
Direct Digital Controls (DDCs) are automation systems that control the various components of a building operations. Many existing schools have partial, or aging DDC systems - typically only accessible at the school site. About 20 sites have hardware, associated programming, and internet connection to allow for building information to be viewed remotely (e.g. from the workshop or head office via a “local area network” or LAN). Improved communications and connectivity will allow maintenance, operations, and energy management staff to better
Vancouver School Board Strategic Energy Management Plan (SEMP): 2013/14 to 2017/18
2014/15 Update
Page 15
understand building operations, to diagnose problems, and to more proactively manage energy consumption.6
The action will:
• upgrade DDC and communications systems with a goal that all (non-steam heated) facilities be LAN connected by the end of the seismic capital program.
2015 Update: CNCP funding to upgrade five sites received in Feb 2014 - completing in 2015.
CNCP funding to upgrade 15 further sites received in Feb 2015. Initiated in June of 2015 for completion by March 2016.
Action 10: EnerTracker software
Specialized software now exists to obtain near real-time energy consumption data from electrical smart meters at all schools), and automated natural gas meters (at selected schools). These allow short term (next day) feedback of energy use. Under a pilot project, Fortis BC will cover the costs of this software on gas meters for selected accounts. This action will:
• install and use EnerTracker’ software where possible on suitable schools through the BC Hydro C Op. and Fortis EnerTracker programs.
• utilize the EnerTracker software at new schools constructed until these have been fully commissioned.
2015 Update: EnerTracker software installed at ~22 sites in 2014.
Smart meter data used to estimate strike savings in the fall of 2014.
Evaluating smart meter data for use as a demand management tool.
6 For 2014 the VSB has been awarded approximately $180,000 from the Province’s Carbon Neutral Capital Program (CNCP) to upgrade DDC components and connect six more schools to the LAN network.

2014/15 Update
Page 16
Action Area: Planning and Capital Development
As enrollment-based and seismic-driven capital projects are implemented, there is an opportunity to address energy efficiency in these projects - beyond what may be required by the Vancouver Building Bylaw. Actions identified for this area are described below.
Action 11: Develop energy specific guidance material for new school construction
In the development of recent new school construction, the mandate for energy efficiency has produced individually creative designs. However, it has also resulted in schools with ‘unique features’ that are new technologies, or not widely developed in the District. As an operator of a ‘fleet’ of facilities, with a mobile building engineer staff, the District could benefit to define more consistent goals and approaches into facility design. This action will:
• define a set of goals and objectives that the VSB would like to achieve for energy use in new facilities, and the implications for heat plant equipment.
• provide guidance to future school designers for any desired, or required, or excluded elements for design.
2015 Update: Informal review of current practices to date.
Action 12: Provide ongoing support for energy management in new facilities
The energy manager is a resource to the PDR and design facilities development design teams, and provides input to the many facility projects.
This action will:
• encourage the inclusion of energy management considerations into PDR reports, and subsequent facility design.
2015 Update: Ongoing as required.
Action 13: Passive and renewable energy technologies
A number of emerging technologies have the potential to augment the energy systems of existing facilities. This could include solar panels for electricity or hot water production, ‘solar walls’ for pre-heating building intake air, advanced air leakage sealing techniques, designed shading systems to reduce solar gain, and others. The improved design of buildings can reduce the need for heating and cooling systems - allowing for smaller systems. These technologies are likely to have the best business case in new facilities rather than as retrofits.
This action will:
• promote and pursue innovative passive design and renewable energy technologies in new and existing schools.
Vancouver School Board Strategic Energy Management Plan (SEMP): 2013/14 to 2017/18
2014/15 Update
Page 17
2015 Update: No projects currently identified. Future building design will endeavor to include these features.
Action 14: Engage new schools in the BC Hydro New Construction Program
BC Hydro’s New Construction Program (NCP) provides incentives for the construction of new buildings that are intended to encourage efficient design through building energy modeling and lighting design. The VSB has accessed these programs for some school construction projects. This program may be valuable when deployed for specific schools.
This action will:
• continue to pursue opportunities to utilize the BC Hydro incentive programs for new construction, and
• work with BC Hydro to define a compliance mechanism that meets the VSB project cycle.
2015 Update: Completed BC Hydro submissions for new schools through the “New Construction Incentive Program” for Douglas and Sexsmith elementary schools, Norma Rose Point School, and U-Hill secondary.
Developed applications for Kitsilano Secondary and International Village elementary.
Action Area: Information Technology
IT infrastructure is deployed throughout the district. This includes:
• A primary IT and server area at the head office (Ed Center);
• A local server at each school site;
• Computer labs at each secondary school (range from two and seven) – some general and some dedicated to specific programs or software;
• Computer labs generally at each elementary school;
• A PC located in each classroom for teacher / classroom use;
• Smart boards and iPad/tablet carts; and
• Wi-Fi access.
In the past several years, the District has implemented a number of energy saving activities including:
• Elimination of cathode ray tube monitors (through a natural replacement cycle);
• Installation of power management software; and
Vancouver School Board Strategic Energy Management Plan (SEMP): 2013/14 to 2017/18
2014/15 Update
Page 18
• Server virtualization at the Ed Center server group to reduce the number of servers used.
Current initiatives in IT infrastructure for the District include:
• Reduction and elimination of computer labs in elementary schools. This is driven by educational desires.
• Transition of teacher desktops to laptops. Replacement cycles will likely result in desktop machines being replaced by laptop units over the next several years.
• Widespread adoption of mobile devices - both District (e.g. iPad carts) and student personal devices.
The future deployment of official VSB devices is not clear as there are many issues to be addressed. Regardless it is expected that the use of mobile devices will only increase.
From an energy use perspective, the largest gains in IT have been recently achieved – CRT elimination, power management software.
Action 15: IT as a tool for communication and behavior change
This action will seek to utilize IT tools to assist in developing communication and behavioral change tools. These opportunities are not well defined at present but may include:
• providing special projects with energy or other information (e.g. data for energy challenges etc.); and
• upgrading the greenboard website or other portal communication tools.
• Achieving “Program Enabled” (PE) projects with BC Hydro.
The deployment of IT as a tool depends upon on reliable and sustainable IT infrastructure.
2015 Update: Participated in social media pilot project through BC Hydro.
Action Area: Behavioral Change
Behavioral and awareness opportunities represent an opportunity for the VSB to promote energy conservation within the schools.
Action 16: Promote BC Hydro educational programs
BC Hydro has developed a number of curriculum modules regarding energy awareness, safety, and conservation. Over the past several years, teachers from dozens of schools have had a teacher attend a workshop session as a professional development activity and many of them have subsequently delivered this material in their classrooms.
Vancouver School Board Strategic Energy Management Plan (SEMP): 2013/14 to 2017/18
2014/15 Update
Page 19
This action will:
• engage with schools and teachers to deliver BC Hydro program initiatives into schools.
2015 Update: Working with BC Hydro to increase the promotion of their school programs.
Action 17: Leverage programs of the nonprofit sector
The VSB has worked with the non-profit group “Destination Conservation” for several years and provided some support for their modules that focus on energy conservation and water reduction.
This action will:
• assist (where viable) local NGO involvement in VSB schools to promote energy and other resource conservation.
2015 Update: Worked with Destination Conservation in 2013/14 on energy.
Future activities (re: energy) to be determined.
Action 18: Develop the Energy and Sustainability Group as a Resource
The energy and sustainability team includes the energy manager and other part time staff for carbon reporting, coordinating sustainability activities, and maintenance of utility information systems. This group can be better leveraged as a resource for supporting educational activities.
This action will:
• utilize existing networks for green and other initiatives to communicate activities about energy conservation
• proactively reach out to identify teachers and students and support them in their efforts to promote energy conservation
• provide access to VSB information and data for students that wish to utilize this information in their school projects.
2015 Update: Current efforts focused on building operations staff.

5 Energy Plan Impact
5.1 Energy Savings
The reductions achieved in each year of the plan are compiled: (i) according to the type of initiative (Figure 5 below) - generally corresponding to BC Hydro’s Power Smart incentive programs, and (ii) according to the type of fuel conserved. (Figure 6).
The savings shown are the annual savings achieved shown for the year in which the project is completed. The cumulative savings is the total of each of these individual year’s activities.
Observations from these two figures include that:
• Lighting retrofit projects will diminish in magnitude as the majority of the schools are retrofit. A future initiative will include the retrofit of exterior lighting.
• Future savings will rely more heavily on operational improvements (e.g. the continuous optimization initiative).
• Natural gas savings will play a more important role in reducing the energy consumption of the district through the continuous optimization program.
Figure 5: Estimated Energy Savings Projects Implemented Each Year (by Activity Type)
Notes to the legend: 1) Programs: - Lighting upgrades are replacement of older inefficient lighting projects - New Construction is a program of BC Hydro Power Smart. - Continuous Optimization is a Power Smart program - Natural Gas Projects are those specifically directed at natural gas savings, - Behavioral are savings achieved through staff and student behavior change, some of which are recognized through Power Smart, - Other typically includes appliances and other programs.

2) The year shown represents BC Hydro’s fiscal year ending March 31. Savings are similar, though not precisely the same when evaluated by VSB fiscal year (July 1, to June 30).
Figure 6: Estimated Energy Savings Projects Implemented Each Year (by Energy Source)
5.2 Carbon Emissions Reductions
The actions defined at present are primarily focused on electricity conservation and to a lesser degree on natural gas. At the target level of reductions the district would save about 150 - 200 tonnes of GHG emissions annually.
5.3 Avoided Costs and Cost Savings
Each conservation activity will result in savings of energy and therefore utility costs. Some savings will be realized as actual utility bill reductions. Others will be ‘avoided’ costs where a future cost is reduced compared to what might otherwise happen. Examples of avoided costs include:
• a new facility built to a higher standard will avoid some of the consumption that might otherwise be required from a conventionally efficient facility, or
• costs that would result from rising commodity prices but are tempered by the conservation effort.
Figure 7 shows the cumulative avoided cost savings from the measures identified - shown by fuel type. Based on the items identified, the District has achieve savings in the range of $112,000 annually by the end of the year two (2015) and will achieve avoided costs of almost $400,000 by the end of year five.

5.4 Estimated Implementation Costs
Not all costs have been quantified and so current estimates are incomplete. However as a starting point, it is estimated that the capital requirements and incentives will be:
• Capital costs in the range of $ 3 million dollars over 5 years to implement.7
• BC Hydro incentive rebates estimated at about 500 k$ over the five years from 2013/2014 to 2017/2018.
5.5 Reduction Target 2013/14 to 2017/18
The actions identified in the current plan represent savings of about 8.5% of current electricity usage, and 1.5 % of current natural gas usage. Based on this the SEMP proposes a “stretch target” of:
• A 10% reduction of electricity use
• A 5% reduction of natural gas consumption.
This target acknowledges that: (i) many projects have been completed prior to the 2012/13 base year, and that (ii) many of the site slated for seismic review may not be eligible for conservation projects in the time period. At the same time it is still ambitious given the current fiscal situation and will require some determined effort to achieve.
7 For context, in the past 2-3 years, about 600 k$ annually of maintenance and AFG budget were spent on lighting retrofits as well as a one-time contribution of 350 k$ from the sustainability incentive pool.

5.6 Progress on Reduction Target
Progress on the reductions target is tracked annually. Electricity and natural gas reductions (completed and planned) are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9, respectively. There have been identified sufficient electricity reduction projects to reach the target (NB funding is annual and not approved in advance). For natural gas reductions there have not been identified a sufficient number of reduction projects to reach the target at present.

6.4 Stakeholder Engagement & Participation
Beyond the staff roles there are a number of players that can assist us to achieve a long-lasting culture of conservation. To-date most conservation activities have been ‘hard-wired’ through infrastructure. Going forward, there will be a greater emphasis on behavioral activities. This will require that students and staff are engaged in conservation activities. A brainstormed list of activities (none confirmed or defined fully) is highlighted in Table 4.
