6 Introduction This Corporate Facilities Energy Management Plan (C.F.E.M.P.) for the City of Oshawa s corporate facilities is a five-year plan for the period 2014 to It outlines the actions/measures that will lead to the achievement of the City s goals and objectives for conserving energy, reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas (G.H.G.) emissions where possible, and managing the demand for energy as required by: Provincial legislation: Ontario Regulation 397/11 (see Appendix A) The Oshawa Strategic Plan Oshawa Council adopted a new Oshawa Strategic Plan (O.S.P.) in October The Oshawa Strategic Plan, Creating Our Sustainable Tomorrow ( ) has given energy management strategic significance by adopting the following theme and strategies: Theme: Cleaner Air and Water Strategies: Develop and implement corporate and community plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Promote and improve energy and water conservation. Encourage and implement actions that improve air and water quality Energy performance-based metrics/indicators will be used to measure the City s success in achieving these strategies. This demonstrates the City s commitment to energy conservation and links the O.S.P. to this Conservation and Demand Management Plan. The energy use reduction actions set out in this C.F.E.M.P. will help the City to: Improve its environmental performance Complete Milestones 3 through 5 of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (F.C.M.) Partners for Climate Protection (P.C.P.) 5-Milestone Program Improve its accountability to taxpayers by controlling and reducing, where possible, the energy expenditure component of operating costs. Energy management has become increasingly important for municipalities as energy prices continue to rise. Ontario s Long Term Energy Plan predicts that electricity costs will rise an average of 20%, or roughly 4% per year, over the next five years. Natural gas prices, although relatively low compared to historical averages, have begun to rise as illustrated by significant increases in spot market prices through the winter of 2013/2014. The City of Oshawa s C.F.E.M.P. will be a living plan that will evolve as the City s corporate facility energy needs are revealed and better understood. 5 Page

7 Background to the Plan: Putting Conservation First Conservation is a key component of Ontario s Long Term Energy Plan as it is the cleanest and most cost-effective energy resource as the least expensive type of energy is the energy we do not use. The provincial government expects to offset most of the growth in electricity demand to 2032 using conservation programs and improved codes and standards. This will lessen the need to build new generation and transmission facilities. As the province plans for Ontario s energy needs for the next 20 years, conservation will be the first resource considered. Conservation is a key part of our collective effort to lower greenhouse gas (G.H.G.) emissions. It also offers consumers a way to reduce their electricity bills. Conservation has been forecast to contribute 30TWh to Ontario s electrical energy supply mix by This represents a 16% reduction in the forecast gross demand for electricity as shown in the diagram below: Ontario s 2032 Electricity Production Forecast (TWh) Nuclear 39% Gas 10% Hydro 22% Wind 9% Bioenergy 2% Solar PV 2% Conservation 16% Planned Flexibility <1% Public agencies play an important role in helping Ontario meet its ambitious conservation and G.H.G. reduction targets. As such, Ontario Regulation 397/11 under the Green Energy Act 2009 requires public agencies - municipalities, municipal service boards, school boards, universities, colleges and hospitals - to report on their energy consumption and greenhouse gas (G.H.G.) emissions annually beginning in 2013 and to develop and implement 5-year energy Conservation and Demand Management (C.D.M.) plans starting in Page

8 About the City of Oshawa The City of Oshawa is located in southern Ontario, 60 kilometers east of Toronto. It was founded in 1850, and is the largest municipality in the Regional Municipality of Durham with a population of approximately 157,000. The City has three universities, one community college, a deep-water port and an airport. It is also home to General Motors Canada, where the allelectric Chevrolet Volt was designed. The City owns, operates and/or leases approximately 100 facilities that cover approximately two million square-feet, including heritage buildings that date back to 1840, up to the recently constructed City Hall Council Chambers completed in Approximately 735 full-time and 500 part-time employees work at the City s various facilities. A new Consolidated Operations Depot is scheduled to be fully operational in Approximately 125,500 square-feet of building space and the surrounding property are being renovated and developed to consolidate a variety of operations including the City s fleet maintenance, public works and parks operations. Energy Efficiency Initiatives to Date: The City of Oshawa has already been making efforts to become more energy efficient. Some of these efforts include: The Community Centre Conservation Challenge (2009) Staff at eight of the City s recreational facilities, were challenged to reduce electricity consumption through no-cost energy efficiency improvements and to eliminate waste for a period of 90 days (June 1 to August 31). The net result was a reduction of 597,896 kilowatt hours of electricity over the same period in 2008, a total reduction of 19%. This translated into an avoided cost of $34,379. The environmental impact was the equivalent of taking 92 cars off the road for one year. Community Centre and Fire Hall Conservation Challenges (2010) The 2010 Community Centre Conservation Challenge challenged Recreation and Culture Services staff to reduce both electricity and natural gas consumption, using the same no-cost methods that were successful in 2009, for the period of June 1 to August 31. The cumulative savings for the 2009 and 2010 Community Centre Conservation Challenge were an overall reduction of 3,961 gigajoules of thermal (natural gas) and electrical energy compared to the same period in This is a 28% decrease in energy use, which translated into cost savings of $48,309 and was equivalent to a 189 tonne reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the first Fire Hall Conservation Challenge took place from June 1 to August 31, The result of the challenge for the five fire halls was a reduction of 90 gigajoules of electrical energy compared to the same period in This was a 13.7% decrease in energy 7 Page

9 use, which translated into cost savings of $2,102 and was equivalent to a 5 tonne reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Mayor s Megawatt Challenge (2003 to present) In 2003, Oshawa was one of ten Ontario municipalities that were the founding members of the Mayor s Megawatt Challenge. This is a benchmarking initiative for municipal facilities, which is a program of The Living City, and is delivered by the Toronto & Region Conservation Authority. In 2012, the City was recognized by the Mayors Megawatt Challenge for having achieved the following savings for 2003 versus 2011 for the two major renovation and retrofit projects carried out at City Hall between 2005 and 2011: 60% Total Energy Savings 46% Electricity Savings 69% Thermal Savings 75% G.H.G. Emission Savings Corporate Energy Management Projects (2005 to 2011) Ameresco Project In December 2004, the City entered into an energy performance contract (E.P.C.) to carry out energy savings retrofits at the following four City buildings: Civic Administration Complex (City Hall) Arts Resource Centre McLaughlin Library Robert McLaughlin Gallery The purpose of this project was to replace HVAC equipment that had reached the end of its useful life, was costly to maintain, and was no longer reliable. The goal was to replace the systems with more energy efficient equipment that would reduce operating budget costs and achieve the Community Strategic Plan goal of a green and sustainable community. Work also included the replacement of lighting at all four buildings, window replacement, refurbishing aluminum siding, renewal of the electrical system, and demolition of A-Wing at City Hall. The project's estimated energy savings over twenty years is estimated to be between $9.5 million and $10 million. The City received several awards resulting from the work undertaken through the Ameresco project. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (F.C.M.) presented an award for demonstrating leadership, innovation, dedication and creativity in achieving a green and sustainable community, the Ontario Power Authority (O.P.A.) presented an award for long-term commitments to conserve electricity in Ontario, and the Region of Durham nominated the City for an environmental award. 8 Page

10 The total energy cost savings for all four buildings for the September 2005-August 2006 to September 2008-August 2009 four-year period versus the base year of September August 2003, totaled $1,092,430. The corresponding energy savings for both electricity and gas for all four buildings for the same period was 37,741 Gigajoules (GJ). The energy cost savings are used to pay the capital cost of the project that was funded by a debenture. These savings will be realized in the operating budget when this debenture is retired. The cost and energy savings are summarized in the following two charts: 9 Page

11 City Hall Revitalization Project The City embarked on a $15.4-million makeover of Oshawa City Hall commencing in April This project included; demolition of the existing Council Chamber and A-Wing office tower, construction of a new Council Chamber and exterior precinct, and interior renovations to the 9-storey Rundle Tower and 2-storey B Wing offices. It was implemented over 11 phases and took over 2 years to complete. The interior renovations were completed to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (L.E.E.D.) standards to improve energy and workplace efficiency. FCM s Partners for Climate Protection Program (2009 to present) On March 9, 2009, Council directed participation in the Partners for Climate Protection (P.C.P.) program which is intended to identify and reduce G.H.G. emissions by means of a Five Milestone program. The Partners for Climate Protection (P.C.P.) program is a network of Canadian municipal governments that have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and acting on climate change. The program is a partnership between the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (F.C.M.) and the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (I.C.L.E.I.). Participation in the program is voluntary. 10 Page

12 The City has achieved Milestone 1 and 2 of the P.C.P. Program and is currently drafting Milestone 3 for both community and corporate plans. This Corporate Facilities Energy Management Plan will become part of the larger corporate plan under the P.C.P. program. Other Initiatives 1. An internal assessment was conducted throughout various City facilities prior to 2009 to identify energy efficiency opportunities. Some of the recommended energy conservation measures were implemented in at least 10 facilities during 2011 and A citywide fluorescent lighting retrofit project was undertaken in 27 facilities during 2013 in which T12 lamps were replaced with T8 lamps. 11 Page

13 Plan Scope Corporate vs. Community Energy Plan The energy used in the City s corporate facilities stipulated by Ontario Regulation 397/11 and other corporate facilities not stipulated by this regulation are the focus of this C.F.E.M.P. This C.F.E.M.P. is a component of a broader Community Energy Plan, which extends beyond corporate buildings to include energy use in all sectors in the community - residential, commercial, industrial and transportation - as illustrated below: Community Energy Plan Public Sector Residential Transportation Water Commercial & Industrial O.Reg 397/11 Schools Post-Secondary Hospitals Municipal Corporate Facilities that are heated or cooled Conservation and Demand Management Plan Annual Energy Report 5 Year C.F.E.M.P 12 Page

17 Building / Structure Name Address Use Storm Water Retention Pond Glenbourne Dr. Fountain pump Energy Use and Costs The energy supply for the City s corporate buildings consists of electricity, natural gas propane and oil. The energy supply providers are as follows: Natural gas: Enbridge Gas Distribution Electricity: Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation (O.P.U.C.) Propane: Superior Propane Oil: FREW Petroleum Natural gas is the main energy source for space heating and domestic hot water heating. Propane and oil are used for space heating at a few facilities. Electricity provides power for space cooling and ventilation, plug loads, lighting, and in a few instances, also provides power for domestic water heating and space heating. The City does not currently have any energy supply contracts. Electricity, natural gas, oil and propane are priced at the standard rates offered by the providers. As shown in the diagram below, the cost of utilities (electricity, natural gas, propane, water and fuel for vehicles) comprises 4% of the City s approved 2014 operating budget. This percentage includes the utilities used by the City s corporate facilities, vehicle fleet, streetlights and parks and amounts to $6.2 million. 16 Page

18 The total energy supply (electricity, natural gas, propane and oil) for the City s corporate facilities inventory amounted to 44,141,300 equivalent kilowatt hours (ekwh) in This total consisted of 53.3% (23,532,063 ekwh) for natural gas, 0.3% (121,000 ekwh) for oil, 0.2% (95545 ekwh) for propane and 46.2% (20,392,692 kwh) for electricity. The 2012 combined total cost for all fuels and electricity was $2,798, Electricity represented 81.5% ($2,281,452.37) of this total, natural gas 18.1% ($505,660.15) propane 0.3% ($7,595.42) and oil 0.2% ($4,214.54).

19 Approach Used To Develop the Plan The goals, objectives and measures are the key components of this C.F.E.M.P. The measures roll up to the objectives, which ultimately roll up to the goals. The goals and objectives are used to drive the measures of the plan from which a detailed day-to-day work plan will be developed. The goals and objectives are not quantified; they do not contain performance targets. The following table outlines the time scale, level of detail and quantification aspect of the goals, objectives and measures of the plan: Plan Component Time Scale Level of Detail Quantified (in terms of an energy reduction target) Goals Long-term Low broad brush No Objectives (technical Medium-term Medium No & non-technical) Measures (technical & non-technical) Short-term High specific actions Yes technical measures This C.F.E.M.P. consists of technical (i.e. directly related to energy consuming equipment) and non-technical (organizational and behavioural) objectives and measures. Benefits are maximized when a combination of technical, organizational and behavioural objectives and measures are implemented simultaneously. 18 Page

20 Target Setting Non-technical Measures In many cases, it will be difficult to determine exactly if, or how, specific non-technical measures (i.e. organizational and behavioural measures) are responsible for energy savings. Estimating the costs, savings and lifespan of these measures will be more difficult. Targets will therefore be in terms of an appropriate indicator for these non-technical measures. Energy savings are however maximized when a combination of technical, behavioural and organizational changes are implemented simultaneously. Technical Measures Targets will be set based on information derived from: retro-commissioning/re-commissioning: generally 2 10% energy monitoring energy audits/surveys external benchmarking facilities/operations staff and managers who have a good sense of the building systems and the energy saving opportunities will provide the basis for setting targets. Technical measures usually result in direct measureable energy savings and as such can therefore be easily quantified. Preliminary Target 2010 has been identified as the period of best historical energy performance as significant efforts to improve the energy efficiency of City facilities occurred up to this year. These efforts include: The Community Centre Conservation Challenge which yielded an overall savings of 3,961 Gigajoules of thermal (natural gas) and electrical energy compared to the same period in The Fire Hall Conservation Challenge which yielded a reduction of 90 gigajoules of electrical energy compared to the same period in The completion of the Rundle Tower and B-Wing portion of the City Hall Revitalization Project. Performing at the historical average consumption of the 2010 will be used as the initial or preliminary target, which will be reset where necessary based on subsequent analysis. Target for Each Year The sum of the estimated energy savings for the technical measures for the entire corporate facility inventory for the current year will be used as the overall target for each year. 19 Page

21 Performance Measurement Performance measurement will be by means of base lining on a weather-corrected basis. Energy savings or losses for the entire corporate facilities inventory will be determined on a weather-corrected basis by computing the: Variance from the preliminary target: the consumption of the current year will be compared to the 2010 preliminary target to determine if the savings achieved by 2010 have been sustained; Variance from year-to-year: the consumption of the current year will be compared to the previous year; Variance for the Ministry s 5-year reporting period: the consumption for 2018 will be compared to that for Page

22 Goals To demonstrate leadership in energy conservation and the efficient use of energy in the community. To be an example in these areas to the wider community. To be accountable for energy performance and costs by controlling and reducing, where possible, the consumption and energy expenditure component of the cost to provide municipal services while optimizing our delivery of services to enhance the overall quality of life in our community. To create a culture of conservation within the City that encourages actions that will result in the wise use of energy resources. To reduce the environmental impact of the City s corporate facility energy use by reducing the associated G.H.G. emissions and thereby contribute to Ontario achieving its G.H.G. emission reduction targets. 21 Page

23 Technical Objectives and Proposed Measures 1. To optimize energy efficiency and realize cost avoidance where possible, by first focusing on no-cost/low-cost opportunities (typically operational & possibly maintenance actions) before money is invested in new equipment (technological measures) or system retrofits. Proposed Measures Implementation Schedule Responsible Estimated Implementation Cost ($) Estimated Cost Avoidance if applicable ($/year) Estimated Electricity Savings if applicable (kwh/year) Estimated Gas Savings if applicable (m3/year) Estimated Lifespan of Measure if applicable 1.1 Conduct a retro-commissioning exercise to review operations and maintenance procedures to identify no-cost/low-cost operational and maintenance improvements where possible. To Be Determined Energy Coordinator To Be Determined $44,000 - $231,000 (2-10%) 400,000 2,100,000 (kwh/yr) (2-10%) Not Applicable 3-5 years 1.2 Install occupancy sensors in City Hall Parking Garage.

24 2. To undertake rigorous energy monitoring to identify energy waste and opportunities for improvement; measure and verify energy savings and to ensure persistence of energy savings. Proposed Measures 2.1 Set realistic and achievable energy savings targets, where possible, track progress towards targets, identify the variance from targeted performance so that corrective actions can be taken. 2.2 Use the monitoring & targeting technique to perform internal comparative analysis from which targets can be subsequently developed. 2.3 Complement with energy savings potential targets identified from internal and external benchmarking. 2.4 Use various performance monitoring/tracking methods/tools to analyze interval and non-interval energy use data at the whole-building and system level in order to detect deviations/changes in use overtime and identify efficiency improvements. 2.5 Install interval electricity meters at Harman Park Arena, Donevan Recreation Complex as these facilities are eligible for this type of meter. 2.6 Develop a measurement and verification plan to quantify actual savings from any energy efficiency measures which have been implemented so that these results can be published in 2019 as required by Ontario Regulation 397/11 and for Federal Gas Tax Fund reporting purposes, where applicable. 2.7 Ensure that the savings achieved through retro-commissioning are sustained by developing a strategy for regularly reviewing and updating set points and operating parameters where necessary. Facility operators to log comfort complaints from staff and the public as this can often indicate whether problems have arisen with the implemented improvements from retro-commissioning. 2.8 Optimize the use of the building automation system (B.A.S.) to facilitate energy performance monitoring (over the long haul and in real-time where necessary) and the identification and diagnosis of deficiencies that impact energy consumption. 3. To optimize energy efficiency without compromising the delivery of services or sacrificing occupant comfort. Proposed Measures 3.1 Ensure that energy is used at the right time, in the required amount/magnitude (volume, pressure, temperature etc.) and for the required duration. 3.2 Discuss recommended operational changes with facility managers prior to implementation. 4. To optimize the energy supply; seek the optimum energy source or sources to meet the overall energy requirement of City facilities after reducing the requirement for energy by eliminating waste (matching the energy used to what is needed, considering the duration and magnitude of use) and maximizing system efficiencies by ensuring that the system components meeting the need are operating as efficiently as possible. Proposed Measures 23 Page

25 4.1 Evaluate the feasibility of the proposed Combined Heat & Power (C.H.P.) plant for the Legend s Centre which is proposed to provide a free source of thermal energy for space and process heating thereby displacing the natural gas purchased for these end-uses (the electricity generated will be fed into the grid). 4.2 Explore the possibility of maximizing the use of the proposed C.H.P. plant for the Legends Centre to provide free cooing as well, by replacing the heat pump system with an adsorption chiller when the heat pumps reach the end of their useful life (i.e. Combined Cooling Heat and Power (C.C.H.P.) given that some of the heat generated during the summer months will not be utilized). 4.3 Convert the oil-fired furnaces at the Bathe Park and Sunnyside community centers to gas. 4.4 Determine if there is a need to secure/negotiate fixed rate energy supply contracts to mitigate against cost increases versus procuring energy directly from utility companies (may become necessary as energy commodity prices are projected to increase). City must do its own energy market research. Potential energy supply contracts must appropriately address the City s cost considerations, energy supply quality and reliability and other performance factors. 4.5 Use renewable energy, where feasible, to help offset the City s energy supply requirements and thereby reduce utility costs. 5. To promote the use of cleaner, sustainable energy sources in order to reduce G.H.G. emissions. Proposed Measures 5.1 Use renewable energy where feasible. Facilities should be made as energy efficient as possible before renewable energy is installed. 24 Page

33 Order in Which Energy Efficiency Measures Are To Be Implemented The recommended order for implementing energy efficiency measures for this C.F.E.M.P. is: 1. Reduce the requirement for energy by: I. Eliminating wasted energy by matching what is actually used to what is needed by considering the duration and magnitude of use. II. Maximizing system efficiencies by ensuring that the system components meeting the need are operating as efficiently as possible. 2. Optimize the energy supply. This order is especially important if the City wishes to introduce renewable energy in the energy supply that directly serves each individual facility or secure energy supply contracts. 32 Page

34 Renewable Energy Projects The City of Oshawa and the Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation (O.P.U.C.) implemented a solar energy program in which solar photovoltaic (PV) panels were installed by the O.P.U.C. on the roofs of four recreation facilities during under the Ontario Power Authority s Feed-In-Tariff program. As the sole shareholder of the O.P.U.C., this undertaking provided the City with the opportunity to contribute to Ontario s goal to increase the renewable energy capacity in the province s supply mix, thereby reducing Ontario s reliance on fossil fuels. The City will continue to seek feasible opportunities to develop renewable energy projects as part of its goal to optimize its energy supply, and support Ontario s greenhouse gas reduction and renewable energy targets. 33 Page

35 Annual Update of Plan In order to remain an effective planning tool, the Corporate Facilities Energy Management Plan (E.M.P.) will be updated annually to reflect changing needs and priorities and progress towards goals and targets. The C.F.E.M.P. will be a living plan that will evolve as the City s corporate facility energy needs are revealed and better understood. 34 Page
