As part of the program,Sunnybrook completed the installation of aninnovative solar photovoltaic installation withmore than 140 solar panels spanning twostories of a parking garage that will generatenearly 27,000 kilowatt-hours of electricityannually. The facility renewal programwill cutannual greenhouse emissions by an estimated9,000 metric tons.


Housing Renewal and SuburbanIntensification

As housing infrastructure ages, municipalitiesmust develop strategies to extend theirbuildings’ life cycle through asset renewal.Housing renewal can provide at least another50 years of reliable service and sustainableperformance for buildings. An asset renewalframework can assist your organizationtowards responsibly meeting the collectiveobligations to future generations who willinherit and depend on our valuable resources.This presentation will discuss the renewal ofexisting housing typologies at both the micro(single-family) andmacro (vintage high-rise)level and illustrate how energy saving renewalstrategies and site retrofits can provide netnegative zero intensification opportunities.


Climate Change and Strategies forUrban Sustainability in Shanghai, China

Climate change is a global issue. Strategies forUrban Sustainability are of particular interestin Shanghai, the economic center of Chinawith a population over 20 million, located inthe world’s largest continent and at the mouthof the Yangtze River, China’s longest river andthe Pacific Ocean. Shanghai is an estuary city,where the unique natural geographic systemhas a combination of continental and oceaniccharacteristics, is abundant with nutrients, hasrich biological productivity, varied ecological

environments and is a location where theimpact of climate change is most severe andobvious. Eco-zoning, eco-planning andconstruction countermeasures to mitigate theimpacts of climate change are critical toShanghai’s urban sustainability.


Energy Efficiency in Water PumpOptimization Leads to Greenhouse GasReductions

Water and wastewater utilities consumethree per cent of all energy produced inNorth America. Up to 90 per cent of thisenergy is consumed in the form of pumping.This presentation reviews industry initiativesused to reduce the energy required to deliverpotable water, from pump refurbishment toinnovative software tools to maximizingpump operational efficiency. Case study datawill be presented showing the steps requiredto analyse current operating efficiency andthe potential benefits available fromrelatively simple measures such as coatingpump interiors right through to advancedoptimization tools. Return on investment forpump efficiencies can often be achieved inonly a few years and in some cases in only afew months. Improved efficiency leads togreenhouse gas footprint reductions andenergy savings.

Utility Consumption Database:Using Energy Consumption Datato Make Informed Decisions

Ontario’s district school boards manage5,000 facilities.The asset portfolio isprimarily schools and administrativebuildings, the sites ranging in size from600 to 25,000 m2 and built from 1791to present day. With such diverse assets,school boards needed access to meaningfulconsumption data to develop energymanagement strategies and complywith anticipated regulatory reportingrequirements under the Green EnergyAct. This presentation will look at theMinistry of Education’s development ofan online Utility Consumption Databasethat electronically collects electricityand natural gas data for every accountin the sector. A demonstration of thedatabase as an energy management toolfor school boards, its practical applicationsin identifying best practices and capitalinvestment opportunities, and its rolein developing and implementing energyefficiency strategies will also be provided.

Collaborating for Climate Change

This workshop will take the time to discusshow organizations are partnering with oneanother to develop a joint climate changestrategy for the geographic Region of Peel.Climate change is affected by global activitiesand operations and is not limited to oneorganization or location. By working as a team,organizations are able to take a leadershiprole on global climate change at a local level.Learn about the benefits of the partnershipapproach to planning and discussopportunities to develop a collaborativeclimate change strategy. Interactive pollingdevices will be used at the workshop to tailorthe presentation to the interests ofparticipants and to generate discussion.


Green Energy Act: Opportunities forMunicipalities to Leverage Their Assets toEarn an Incremental Revenue Stream

Energy policy has been rapidly changing - themove to Time-of-Use prices, the impetus tobuild the smart grid, develop conservationplans and the whole host of opportunitiesunder the Green Energy and Green EconomyAct. All of these present an historic opportunityfor municipalities to leverage their assets toearn a revenue stream.


Low Ambient Air to Air Commercial andResidential Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps draw heat from theoutside air during the heating season andreject heat outside during the summer coolingseason. The new Hyper-heating INVERTER(H2i) technology fromMitsubishi Electrichas 80 per cent capacity even at the lowtemperature of -25°C. The flash process coolsthe compressor, allowing for higher compressorspeeds at lower temperatures withoutoverheating. This process also increasesthe mass flow rate in the system to providephenomenal heating performance at lowtemperatures. Learn more about maximizingthe benefits and efficiencies you can get froma heat pump.
