SMART ENERGY MANAGEMENT SMART ASSET MANAGEMENT 3

M i n i s t e r ’ s M e s s a g e

On behalf of the Government of Ontario, I am delighted to welcome delegates to the 2011Energy Matters Summit, one of the leading public sector energy management conferences in Ontario.

This year’s theme of Smart Energy Management, Smart Asset Management explores the linkbetween energy management and facility operations and development. These discussions areespecially important as Ontario embarks on a transformation of our energy system.

A clean energy economy is based upon using cleaner sources of energy such as renewablepower, while making better, more efficient use of the power we produce. Your discussions ontopics such as smart grid development, distributed generation for renewable energy andadvanced energy conservation are both timely and important as we renew our energy system.

I wish you an enjoyable and productive summit.

Sincerely,

Brad Duguid, Minister of Energy

C o n f e r e n c e C h a i r ’ s M e s s a g e

The 2011 Energy Matters Summit will introduce a new way of thinking by aligning strategies forsustainable energy sources and conservation with effective real property asset management. Thisyear’s Summit aims to share knowledge about energy related technology and enhance ourunderstanding of how energy choices and changes can affect the lifetime of real propertyresources. Facility development and maintenance is a key factor for efficient building operationstherefore, it is vital to educate ourselves on building smart from the ground up while lookingforward to long-term savings. In our increasingly carbon-restrictive economy, it is important toexplore the relationships between energy consumption and conservation with areas such asbuilding development and construction, facility management, and asset preservation and renewal.

Sincerely,

Steven Hall, Conference Chair Director, Real Property Asset Management, Region of Peel

Commissioning P h o e n i x A11 a.m. – Noon

Commissioning is making design intent a reality.Commissioning is a multi-discipline, systematic, qualityprocess that enhances project delivery. Whilecommissioning is critical to ensure that buildings operateas intended, this is especially true of sustainable energy-efficient buildings, as they rely more on passive elements,rather than mechanical, within their design. Testing andverification of building performance is necessary to prove itmeets the design intent. This provides credibility andvalidation to the sustainable design, and can also providea benchmark against which building energy usage can becompared. The Canadian and US Green Building Councilhave recognized the importance of commissioning insustainable design, as LEED certification requiresfundamental commissioning as a pre-requisite, andenhanced commissioning as an additional LEED credit.These requirements have increased the awareness ofbuilding commissioning among architects and building owners.

This year we’ve made many efforts tominimize the impact that the Energy MattersSummit has on our environment.

Renewable EnergyThe 2011 Energy Matters Summit is powered with 100 per cent green electricity. This means that DirectEnergy will inject enough carbon-free green power ontothe Ontario electricity grid to match the amount ofelectricity used by this event. Direct Energy’s green poweris sourced exclusively from wind power and low-impacthydro producers who meet or exceed the federalgovernment’s EcoLogoM standard for renewable energy.

Staff Apparel The Energy Matters Summit staff golf apparel, producedby Oceanic Commercial Inc., are made in Canada.

VenueThe International Centre is committed to becoming asustainable environment and the leading venue ofchoice for socially-minded businesses and individuals,by setting high standards of environmental stewardship,employee engagement and community service. TheInternational Centre has taken important steps towardsdeveloping sustainable business practices within theirown organization, with suppliers, partners, clients and

within the surrounding community, including:

Energy• Achieved energy consumption reductions of 335,000

kWh by retrofitting light fixtures, increasing operationalefficiencies and monitoring energy usage

• Additional lighting system retrofits are still in the worksand it is anticipated that a full lighting retrofit will havebeen completed by 2013.

Water• In 2009 and 2010 the International Centre switched

to automatic urinal tank flushometers and sensoredflushometer systems in the majority of theirwashrooms, which saves approximately 130,000gallons of water per year.

• Upgraded their 40 rooftop HVAC units, which will save11,000,000 gallons of water per year

Food• The International Centre’s kitchen works with Partners

in Project Green, FoodLand Ontario and 100 MileMarket to source local, in-season ingredients formenus of 10 to 2,000 guests.

• The kitchen was designed to be energy and water-efficient and saves more than 70 per cent in water and

hydro use (in comparison to a standard banquetkitchen) via EcoSmart Technology.

Waste• The International Centre composts approximately

half of their kitchen’s cooking oil into biofuel.

• The retail food concessions located within the facilityoffer compostable single-use plates, cutlery, foodcontainers and cups.

• The facility also has a recycling program to separateplastic, cardboard, paper, aluminium, glass andcompostables from waste. 100 per cent of the waste istracked in an effort to identify areas for improvement.

AccommodationsIn an effort to reduce transportation related emissions,accommodations for the 2011 Energy Matters Summithave been arranged for at the Hilton Toronto AirportHotel, conveniently located directly across from thePearson International Airport and minutes from theInternational Centre.

In 2008, the Hotel Association of Canada (HAC)awarded the Hilton Toronto Airport Hotel with a 3 GreenKey ECOmmodation standing for: taking significant stepsto protect the environment by implementing strongenvironmental programs, best management practices,training programs, and engineering solutions which havebenefited the environment and the local community.

In addition, the Hilton Toronto Airport Hotel has recently initiated a series of ‘green’ retrofits, including the following:

• Lighting upgrades from incandescent to compactflorescent in approximately 93 rooms

• Installation of lighting control systems in both theballroom and meeting rooms, cutting down on 8-9 hours of lighting each day

• Upgrades from analog to digital thermostats to becompleted by the end of 2011

In AdditionThe Energy Matters Summit team has made a variety ofother environmentally-responsible choices:

• Arranging for complimentary shuttle service betweenthe hotel and the International Centre before showstart and at show close each day, to help reducetransportation related emissions

• Cutting paper usage by creating an event page on ourwebsite where delegates can register online, as well asdownload our Preliminary Conference Program

• Making hotel reservations available online via adedicated web page

• Providing all event updates via e-mail to registered delegates

• Conducting the majority of marketing campaigns via e-mail

• Printing on FSC, eco-logo certified paper

• Taking measures to reduce waste; using bulk waterinstead of bottled water

• Using local, environmentally-friendly suppliers where possible

• Turning off lights and shutting down electronics insupport rooms at the end of each day

• Making post-presentation materials available online(instead of printing paper copies)

Printed on 100% post-consumer paper, which is certified Ecologo,Processed Chlorine Free and manufactured using biogas energy.
