3 Our Commitment to Energy Conservation Message from the Mayor The City of Stratford has a long and proud tradition of municipal leadership, including earning a position in the Top 7 Intelligent Community of the Yea rankings for the last three years, creating the Stratford Global Standard, and a successful track record of pro-actively identifying and delivering energy conservation initiatives. In step with this tradition, and in light of rising energy costs and recent regulatory requirements, the City has developed a comprehensive 5-year Corporate Energy Conservation & Demand Management Plan. This Plan lays out our vision and our commitment to energy conservation and fulfills all of the requirements specified under Regulation 397/11 of Ontario s Green Energy Act. We have selected three strategic priorities to facilitate the achievement of our vision and our 5-year conservation goals. Our first priority is to provide tools to consistently monitor and track energy consumption across all corporate facilities. The second focuses on energy awareness and technology training to enable key personnel to find energy conservation opportunities and actively participate in reduction initiatives. Lastly, we intend to continue identifying and delivering energy cost savings projects, programs and processes across all of our corporate facilities. We intend to honour the City s commitment to environmental and fiscal leadership by taking action to improve the energy consumption within our buildings and services, while reducing associated costs and carbon emissions. Along with City Council and senior City Staff, I fully endorse the contents of this Plan and its related strategies and initiatives. Sincerely, Dan Mathieson Mayor of Stratford Page 1 of 30

4 1.0 Plan Overview 1.1 Introduction Energy management has become increasingly important across Ontario municipalities as energy prices continue to rise and interest in reducing our environmental impact continues to be a priority. 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. In addition to energy cost pressures, regulatory requirements have been recently enacted to increase the focus on energy conservation. Ontario Regulation 397/11 of the Green Energy Act requires all municipalities to develop and publish a Corporate Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan (CECDMP) on or before July 1, The City of Stratford (the City) has developed a CECDMP (this Plan) to formalize and consolidate its energy management efforts. Responsible energy management planning will allow the City to develop energy reduction strategies within the constraints of existing operating budgets. Specifically, this Plan will help the City meet a number of objectives, including improving environmental performance, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, lowering energy consumption, improving accountability to taxpayers and reducing operating costs. It also fits within the City s broader planning context, complementing the City of Stratford Strategic Priority Framework and the Sustainability Strategy. In line with the regulation s requirements, this Plan includes the following key elements: 1 A clear corporate vision and policy that includes goals, objectives and strategic priorities for managing energy use. 2 Details about the City s energy baseline and a summary of past successes and present initiatives. 3 A specific, actionable and prioritized inventory of energy conservation and demand management measures which includes associated estimated cost and energy savings information. The City intends to revisit and update this Plan every five years, as required under the regulation. Page 2 of 30

5 1.2 Plan Development The City would like to thank the committee assembled to steer the development of this Plan with support and direction from Blue Sky Energy Engineering & Consulting and Posterity Group. The City committee members include: Dave Carroll, Chief Building Official Jim Bryson, Community Facilities Manager Joe Salter, Manager of Water Treatment & Distribution Mike Gornyiczki, Deputy Fire Chief In addition to the committee, the City would like to recognize the contribution of numerous staff who offered ideas, input, and review to ensure this plan was consistent with the overall goals of the region and included the current best ideas and creative thinking. Generating the plan consisted of the following three activities: 1) Assessing the City s current state of energy management, 2) Establishing its energy management vision & objectives, and 3) Defining specific and measurable actions for improvement. Before the City s vision for improvement could be defined, it was important to understand how the City was currently managing its energy. Existing energy management efforts were assessed against several broad energy management categories in order to recognize the City s achievements and inform the development of this Plan s strategic objectives. These energy management categories included: Energy Management Policy, Goals and Commitment; Resources and Accountability; Investment Decisions and Purchasing; Training, Capacity Development & Awareness; Energy Monitoring & Tracking; Opportunity Identification & Project Delivery; and Project and Program Management To ensure that this Plan included input from all City departments, an energy policy survey was delivered to over 10 senior staff members. The survey included questions on 5 year planning goals, objectives and energy conservation opportunities. In addition, a second and more technically-focused survey was delivered to over 15 staff who gave feedback on existing energy management and energy conservation projects as well as ideas for conservation.

6 Lastly, energy audits were performed at five key municipal facilities to identify additional measures for City s action plan. Facilities assessments were undertaken at City Hall, Fire Hall #2, Annex Building, Kiwanis Centre and the Library. 1.3 Plan Scope For the purposes of this Plan, energy management has been defined as the continuous process of managing behavioural, organizational and technical change to improve energy performance. This Plan will serve as a guide to empower all City personnel to improve the City s energy management practices. The remainder of this document presents the Plan under the following sections: Section 2 Ontario s Energy Picture Section 3 The Corporate Energy Management Policy Section 4 Stratford s Current Energy Performance Section 5 The Energy Conservation Team Section 6 - Our Successes Section 7 Energy Conservation Action Plan Exhibit 1 (next page) provides an overview of the City s infrastructure considered to be within the scope of this Plan. The infrastructure is divided into four main energy account centres: facilities, water & sewage, parks, and street/traffic lights. Page 4 of 30

8 2.0 Ontario s Energy Picture 2.1 Energy Supply and Pricing Forecasts for Ontario In 2013, Ontario had a total electricity supply mix of terawatt-hours (TWh), including avoided energy use as a result of conservation. Looking forward, supply requirements are expected to increase by approximately 20% over the next two decades. Acknowledging that energy efficiency is the cheapest source of new energy supply, Ontario s 2013 Long-Term Energy Plan 1 places a strong emphasis on conservation and demand management to avoid adding new generation to the grid. For example: In 2013, conservation represented 5%, or 8.6 TWh, of Ontario s total electricity supply; Over the next 20 years, the Province expects to offset almost all growth in electricity demand through energy efficiency programs and improved codes and standards. This represents a conservation forecast of 30 TWh, or 16% of Ontario s total electricity supply mix by Ontario municipalities are expected to contribute to this conservation target by developing energy management plans and taking action to improve their energy performance. Electricity costs are expected to increase over 20%, or roughly 4% per year, over the next five years. This further supports the need for Ontario municipalities to carefully manage their electricity use. 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. As a result, Union Gas has applied to the Ontario Energy Board for a rate increase of nearly 30%, which was approved in April Although this rate may be subject to change, any upward trend in gas costs will impact municipalities bottom lines. 2.2 Green Energy Act and Regulation 397/11 Ontario Regulation 397/11 of the Green Energy Act was developed to help public agencies, including municipalities, understand and better manage their energy consumption. Under the regulation, the City is required to develop and publish a five- 1 Ministry of Energy. December Achieving Balance: Ontario s Long-Term Energy Plan. Page 6 of 30

9 year corporate energy conservation and demand management plan by July 1, 2014, and update this plan every five years thereafter. Energy conservation and demand management plans are required to include: A summary of the City s energy consumption and emissions, A description of previous and current energy conservation measures, A description of renewable energy measures, Details on the goals, objectives and proposed measures that have been developed, A forecast of expected results for current and proposed measures, and A commitment from the City s senior management. This Plan has been structured to comply with each of the requirements specified in the regulation. Page 7 of 30

10 3.0 The Corporate Energy Management Policy The Stratford Corporate Energy Conservation Policy outlines the City s commitment to energy management, its vision statement, short- and long-term goals, and strategic objectives: Our Commitment As part of our long term financial planning strategy, the City of Stratford is committed to responsible energy management. To this end, the City will allocate the necessary staff and resources to implement a strategic energy management plan that will reduce energy consumption, and its related environmental impact. We are committed to using energy efficient practices throughout all of the facilities, fleet, operations and equipment wherever it is cost effective to do so. Our Vision Through an energized and engaged organization, Stratford will continuously improve the energy performance of its built environment in order to minimize carbon emissions and energy costs. Our Goals Short Term: 4 % Reduction in Energy Consumption by 2019 over the base year of Long Term: 6 % Reduction in Energy Consumption by 2024 over the base year of Strategic Objectives (Pillars) Pillar 1: Energy Monitoring & Tracking Monitor and track energy use by providing an energy information system that makes energy consumption visible to all staff, supports management decision making, and improves opportunity identification and continuous improvement efforts. Pillar 2: Training, Capacity Development and Awareness Develop a training program which ensures key employees have the appropriate knowledge regarding energy use and conservation. The program will support the creation of a conservation culture through engagement and awareness. Pillar 3: Opportunity Identification and Project Delivery Deliver energy cost savings through the identification and implementation of processes, programs and projects which reduce energy consumption.

11 4.0 Stratford s Current Energy Performance 4.1 Stratford s Energy Baseline An energy baseline has been compiled to provide a quantitative reference case for comparing the City s future energy performance. Energy consumption data for 2011 were collected from Festival Hydro and Union Gas for each of the City s facilities, as well as its water and sewage facilities, parks, and street lighting accounts. The resulting data set is representative of the City s current level of energy performance, however, it has not been corrected for yearly weather variations. Exhibit 2 presents the City s baseline energy data by fuel type and in aggregate, expressed in equivalent kilowatt hours (ekwh). In 2011, the City consumed 23,405,310 ekwh and was responsible for 2,651 tonnes of associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Account Centre Exhibit 2 City Energy Baseline (2011) Peak Demand (kw) Electricity (kwh) Nat. Gas (m 3 ) Total Energy (ekwh) Facilities 1,543 6,587, ,589 14,543,747 Water & Sewage 1,129 5,724,360-5,724,360 Parks , ,164 Street/Traffic Lights 633 2,879,039-2,879,039 Total by Fuel Source (ekwh) 15,448, ,714 23,405,310 Greenhouse Gas Emissions 2,651.4 tonnes Exhibit 3 (next page) shows the breakdown of the City s total baseline energy consumption by energy source. Approximately one third of its energy requirements are met by natural gas; the primary heating source for most City facilities. The remaining two thirds are met by electricity. Page 9 of 30

12 Exhibit 3 Energy Use By Source Exhibit 4 shows the breakdown of the City s total baseline energy by energy account centre. Facilities account for the majority of energy use, while water and sewage infrastructure represents a quarter, and street lighting represents an eighth of the City s energy use. Exhibit 4 Percentage Energy Use (kwh) By Energy Account Centre Exhibit 5 (next page) compares energy use for each City facility by ekwh which combines electrical and natural gas consumption: The Rotary Complex is by far the largest consumer, using approximately 5 million ekwh per year (representing 34% of the total consumption for the Facilities account centre); The William Allman Arena is second, using approximately 2 million ekwh per year (representing 14%); and Page 10 of 30

13 The Kiwanis Centre, City Hall, and Dufferin Arena are tied for third, each using approximately 1 million ekwh per year (representing 7% each) Exhibit 5 Facility Energy Use (ekwh) The City s Waste Water Treatment Plant and Water Treatment facilities fall under the Water and Sewage account centre and are not included in this graph. For reference, Page 11 of 30

14 Energy Intensity [ekwh/ft 2 ] Ratio [Actual/Benchmark] City of Stratford Corporate Energy Conservation & Demand Management Plan they consume approximately 5.4 million ekwh per year, slightly more than the Rotary Complex. To put Exhibit 5 into perspective, it is helpful to compare the top consuming facilities to average benchmarks in Ontario s municipal sector. Exhibit 6 presents the energy intensities (ekwh/ft 2 ) of the City s major facilities ordered from best (left) to worst (right) compared to average benchmarks. The lower the Energy Intensity, the more energy efficient the building, as this is a measure of energy consumption per square foot of conditioned space. The benchmarking data is drawn from Local Authority Services Energy Performance Benchmarking of Ontario s Municipal Secto report. Exhibit 6 Facility Energy Intensity Benchmarks The City facilities perform very well as a whole against other municipal districts and this is in part due to the retrofit work that has already been completed conservation team. The facilities shown in Exhibit 6 can be categorized into two groups: Better than the Average Benchmark: The Police Station, Public Library, Rotary Complex, Transit Garage, Fire Station #1, Public Works Garage/Office, Page 12 of 30

15 Youth Focus Centre, Fire Station #2, Annex Building, Dufferin Arena, Kiwanis Centre and Tourism Alliance have better than average energy intensities (ratios of actual vs. benchmark that are less than one). Worse than Average Benchmark: William Allman Arena and City Hall have worse than average energy intensities (ratios of actual vs. benchmark that are greater than one). 4.2 Current Energy Procurement and Pricing Exhibit 7 shows that the City is currently spending over $2 million a year on energy across its four account centres. Exhibit 7 Current Energy Expenses (Pre-Tax) Account Centre Expense Facilities $1,032,950 Water & Sewage $621,500 Parks $56,750 Street/Traffic Lights $334,050 Total Cost $2,045,250 Electricity: While electricity is delivered by Festival Hydro, the City has contracted Local Authority Services to supply electricity under its electricity hedge purchase program. The majority of City s accounts fall under one of two rate categories: General Service Less than 50 kw: Monthly Fixed Cost = $38.90 Variable Consumption Cost = $0.13/kWh (including LAS commodity, global adjustment, delivery, regulatory, and debt-retirement charges) General Service 50 kw to 4,999 kw: Monthly Fixed Cost = $ Variable Demand Cost = $6.48/kW (including commodity and delivery charges) Variable Consumption Cost = $0.10/kWh (including LAS commodity, global adjustment, delivery, regulatory, and debt-retirement charges) Natural Gas: The City s natural gas is supplied by Union Gas and the current price ranges from $0.24 to $0.26/m 3.

16 5.0 The Energy Conservation Team The City of Stratford s Energy Conservation Team has provided the leadership required to achieve significant energy conservation savings across the built environment. The team, described below, will continue to be responsible for delivering the plan s vision, objectives and goals as well as maintaining the City s focus on energy efficiency in the years to come. Energy Conservation Sponsor: Ron Shaw, C.A.O. The Energy Conservation Sponsor is responsible for legitimizing the Plan s high-level goals and objectives, keeping abreast of major project activities, and approving resources and funding for the team and its approved projects. This position is ultimately responsible for securing spending authority and resources for the Plan and is therefore the highest ranking management person on the Energy Conservation Team. Finance Champion: Andre Morin, Director of Corporate Services The role of the Finance Champion is to provide clear guidance, assistance and support to the Energy Conservation Team on internal and external funding mechanisms and to include the team in relevant decision-making and budget discussions. The Finance Champion will support the use of life cycle costing and discounted cash flow-based assessments for capital projects and will include energy efficiency in procurement criteria where relevant. In addition the Finance Champion will ensure that suppliers offer energy efficient alternatives/options where available and include energy criteria/performance in service contracts. Energy Management Champion: Dave Carroll, Chief Building Official The Energy Management Champion has direct knowledge of the City s major energyusing facilities and assets and is responsible for developing and maintaining the focus for the Energy Conservation Team. Their role is to coordinate meetings, set agendas, and delegate and manage tasks related to the Energy Conservation Team. This person also helps create and own the vision for the Plan and will help the Plan to maintain momentum, particularly if barriers arise. Page 14 of 30

17 Corporate Energy Conservation Team: The Energy Conservation Team functions on a strategic level to set expectations for each of the facilities, to develop metrics for tracking overall energy improvement, and to build accountability for energy management activities. In addition, this crossfunctional team has direct responsibility for the consumption of energy within their respective departments. As a group, the team supports and monitors energy management initiatives (processes, programs, and projects) at the various facilities and across the corporation. The Energy Conservation Team consists of: Dave Carroll, Chief Building Official Jim Bryson, Community Facilities Manager Joe Salter, Manager of Water Treatment Mike Gornyiczki, Deputy Fire Chief Page 15 of 30

18 6.0 Our Successes 6.1 Completed Energy Conservation Measures The City has completed a number of energy conservation projects over the last ten years which have contributed significantly to energy savings. These projects demonstrate that the City has already established itself as a corporation that actively manages energy, and provide a strong base of energy management experience upon which to build. Exhibit 8 below summarized the details of the completed projects.

20 7.0 Energy Conservation Action Plan 7.1 Action Plan List A critical part of any plan is the detailed list of specific actions needed to achieve the desired goals and objectives. The City of Stratford has developed a key project list which will help ensure the City meets the energy reduction goals set out in the Corporate Energy Management Policy (section 3.0). The plan has been divided into three sections to match the three pillars of the Policy: Pillar 1: Energy Monitoring & Tracking Pillar 2: Training, Capacity Development and Awareness Pillar 3: Opportunity Identification and Project Delivery The detailed list of project included in the plan, which covers a period from July 2014 to June 2019, can be found in Appendix A. 7.2 Schedule and Forecast The specific projects from the Action Plan (Appendix A) have been summarized in a delivery schedule which can be found in Appendix B. Using the schedule as a baseline, a cumulative savings graph has been generated to show forecasted annual savings from the conservation measures over time. Please see Exhibit 9 (next page). It is projected that over $180,000 of annual avoided energy cost will be saved once the projects have been completed. It should be noted that the projections have been calculated in 2014 dollars and do not include expected rises in energy costs. For this reason, the estimate is most likely conservative. The projects which result in the largest savings are in three different departments. The retrofit of the street lighting to LED, the lighting upgrade to the Rotary Arena, and the equipment upgrades in the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Additionally, a major heating and lighting retrofit of the Kiwanis Centre will contribute significant energy savings. The Kiwanis Centre project has not been added to the energy conservation summary in this report because the estimated savings have not yet been finalized. Page 18 of 30
