Premier of Ontario - Première ministre de l’Ontario

May 6 – 7, 2013

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER On behalf of the Government of Ontario, I am delighted to extend warm greetings to everyone attending the Ninth Annual Energy Matters Summit, hosted by the Region of Peel in co-operation with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Building Owners and Managers Toronto (BOMA). Our government recognizes the vital importance of planning for our province’s energy future. That is why we created Ontario’s Long-Term Energy Plan: to build a clean, modern and dependable electricity system for current and future generations of Ontarians. The theme of this year’s summit, Turning Energy Plans into Results, meshes well with our long-term plan and, in particular, with its intent to ensure that the evolving electricity needs of Ontario are met — both effectively and affordably. Whether looking for insights into current clean energy technologies or seeking strategies aimed at promoting smart energy use, participants are sure to find their questions answered as they take part in the summit’s workshops, enjoy keynote presentations and engage in networking opportunities. I commend the Region of Peel, the TRCA and BOMA for making this event possible — and for giving those in attendance the tools they need to achieve their goals. Please accept my best wishes for a highly successful summit.

Clean Energy TechnologiesMcKennit #3

Renewable energy is not just a dream for the future, but is a growing reality today. Research, engineering,and business have produced many game-changing renewable energy technologies that are ready fordeployment in homes, commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and in public infrastructure. As Canadianswe have a unique opportunity to seize a piece of the valuable clean energy technology innovation,manufacturing, and export markets as we adopt these technologies in our homes and workplaces.

The 2013 Energy Matters Summit will use this theme to address the broad question of what technologiesare available; how they are being used today; and what changes are required of our existing infrastructureto usher in wide adoption of clean energy technology.

Energy, Environment and Sustainability PlanningMcKennit #4

Over the past 10 years hundreds of municipalities, institutions and other organizations have created a varietyof strategies seeking to reduce energy consumption and increase energy sustainability. Leading organizationsthat are well into the implementation of bold and inspiring energy plans are now finding that there aremultiple benefits beyond energy and cost savings. These benefits include improved quality of health, localeconomic development, social cohesion and more.

This stream starts by exploring the definition of “success” from an energy sustainability perspective whiledelving into the importance and benefits of creating a clear and bold energy sustainability strategy. It thenasks: “Where we would like to go and what are the most effective strategies and actions to get us there?”

Participants will also learn about best practices in both corporate and community energy planning, the changingrole of energy managers, and the tools and resources available to guide various types of energy initiatives.

Beyond Benchmarking – Using Targets to Drive Deeper Energy SavingsMcKennit #5

An explosion of interest and activity in benchmarking has resulted in extensive energy performance dataon office buildings, schools, hospitals, municipal facilities and multi-family buildings. Top-performingbuildings have been identified and examined to identify best practices. We have discovered that less efficientbuildings can use 3-5 times more energy than comparable high performing buildings, and new insight hasbeen gained into just how to achieve deep reductions in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

The big question now is what’s next? How does the investment in benchmarking lead to achievement ofmeaningful energy savings? The answer receiving the most attention is target-setting. Many private andpublic sector building owners and managers have established annual percentage reduction targets. And agrowing number are going beyond percentage targets to energy intensity targets – a defined quantity ofenergy which a particular building needs.

This stream will present and explore experience in the commercial and public sectors with the effectivenessof energy targets in driving substantial and lasting improvements to the energy performance of buildings.Individual workshops will tackle the principles of target-setting in enabling energy efficiency, practical casestudies from different building sectors, and the impact of energy targeting initiatives.

Effective Consumer, Employee and Community EngagementMunroe #3

The roll-out of smart meters, emergence of home automation technologies and innovations in energyequipment will all bring significant benefits to consumers and organizations, but many of these benefitswill only be fully achieved if consumers and employees are effectively engaged. Understanding effectiveengagement is a complex issue as it boils down to changing energy consumption behaviours and identifyingwho is best placed to deliver consumer engagement. Utilities, consumer groups, community organizations,local authorities, housing associations and employers all have important roles to play in delivering effectiveconsumer engagement. Engaged and energy literate consumers in the workplace and at home are crucialin Ontario’s transition to a low-carbon economy and will help us meet some of the long-term challengeswe face in ensuring an affordable, secure and sustainable energy supply.

This stream will explore the following key questions:

• Are consumers looking for and finding energy efficient products?

• Could games and social media help people change their energy behaviour?

• What are the strategies for developing successful energy behaviour programs in the workplace?

• How do we scale-up consumer engagement initiatives across an entire community?

Enabling Distributed GenerationMunroe #4

Although various distributed generation technologies are well proven and widely applied across the globe,there are many challenges that remain in the Canadian market and that seem to prevent the widespreadadoption of distributed generation as a significant means of helping address Canada's current and futureenergy needs.

This stream will take stock of the global and Canadian status of distributed generation, explore behind themeter opportunities as well as distributed generation projects where electricity is exported into the grid,followed by a policy discussion that will centre around the status quo and what policy can do to makedistributed generation visions happen.

Choose your own Adventure!

Climate Action on Building Energy Efficiency in Megacities Around the World

Emissions from public and private sector buildings are often one of the largest sectors of emissions in megacities aroundthe world. Different building sectors within a city have different drivers for change and, therefore, also different barriersto overcome. Fortunately, trends are revealing that across cities, the drivers and barriers for energy efficiency in publicsector buildings or private sector buildings may be the same and this, therefore, encourages global and collaborativelearning and sharing. In this presentation, we will introduce the C40 model for a networked approach to supporting cityaction in tackling emissions from buildings in megacities around the world and we will share our experiences with best-practices to-date. Keeping in mind unique local factors, including the capacity of a mayor or city government to takeaction, we will also propose some lessons learned amongst C40 cities to-date.

This presentation will cover:1. About the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group – Who we are and what our network aims to do2. Best practice cities to-date – Who are the current leaders tackling "energy matters" (including case studies) 3. Emerging trends – What do the above-mentioned "best practice cities" have in common? How are they unique? 4. Lessons Learned – How C40 is working to facilitate the lessons learned to our 63 cities and beyond

Room: Ballroom Time: 1:15pm

United Kingdom energy markets and what North American markets canglean from them

North America can benefit from the lessons learned from the deregulation of the United Kingdom’s energy markets andthe impact that has had on prices, innovation and energy efficiency initiatives. The country deregulated its electric marketseveral years ago, and therefore can provide good examples of the role that competitive markets can play in providing arange of products and opportunities to customers while ensuring an effective environment that encourages investmentby energy suppliers and market participants.

North America has a patchwork of regulation and legislation in its energy markets, with different rules applying toresidential and commercial customers as well as to gas and electricity. Where deregulation of energy markets has occurred,most notably in Texas electricity and Georgia gas, this has provided a glimpse of what could be possible in retail energymarkets if the right regulatory framework exists.

It is also helpful to understand the role that market design and regulation can play in stimulating the growth of energyefficiency initiatives alongside retail energy. The United Kingdom has deployed both a carrot and stick approach toincentivizing a change in approach to investment by market participants and customer education and adoption. While notalways successful in creating the desired outcomes at the right cost, these programs have stimulated significant adoptionof energy efficiency measures by consumers in the UK at a pace exceeding most markets in North America.

While replication of the UK approach to regulation and market design of the energy markets may not be necessary orsensible across North America, there are definitely lessons that can be learned. Benefits to consumers, retailers andeconomies can be created through creating the appropriate environment for competition to thrive.

Green Initiatives at the 2013 Energy Matters Summit

This year we’ve made many efforts to minimize the impact that the Energy Matters Summit has on our environment.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

The 2013 Energy Matters Summit is powered with 100 per cent green electricity. This means that Direct Energy will injectenough carbon-free green power onto the Ontario electricity grid to match the amount of electricity used by this event.Direct Energy’s green power is sourced exclusively from wind power and low-impact hydro producers who meet or exceedthe federal government’s EcoLogoM standard for renewable energy.

VENUE

The Toronto Congress Centre is committed to becoming the leader in our industry in terms of environmental responsibility.Many programs have been established to reduce landfill and carbon emissions whenever possible to make your nextevent greener.

The Toronto Congress Centre’s recent expansion, to a million square feet, makes it one of the largest and most sustainabletrade and convention facilities in North America. From its construction phase 75% of the demolished building materials,except for the steel framing, were diverted, reused or recycled. New construction materials were chosen according torecycled, environmentally friendly and reusable content. To further reduce its carbon foot print only local building materialsand construction trades were used.

The Toronto Congress Centre recognizes its responsibility to practice and promote behaviours that support current andfuture environmental sustainability. These practices include:

Energy Efficiency and Water ConservationElectronic energy efficient ballasts, dimming controls, interior daylight sensors, LED exit signs, occupancy sensorsand compact fluorescents make major energy reductions. Low flow, low flush and auto flush washroom fixturessave hundreds of gallons of water a year. Even the glass walled lobby area does its part with thick insulating lowE argon filled glass that offers high thermal loading which reduces the amount of heating or cooling needed forthat area.

Waste DiversionWorking with its recycling partner, The Toronto Congress Centre diverts all waste for sorting and recycling. Easilyidentified bins throughout our facilities create an easy to follow system for exhibitors and attendees.

Purchasing PowerSupporting local businesses, growers and producers not only reduces our carbon footprint it makes good businesssense. The Toronto Congress Centre’s food and beverage program showcases local growers and producers, andwe strive to use fresh seasonal produce whenever possible. Our environmentally friendly purchasing policy alsoensures that no excess packaging or materials are used and that the recycled content is at a premium.

Superior Air QualityUnlike many buildings where re-circulated air can contribute to drowsiness or health concerns, our expansionprovides clean fresh air for delegates and exhibitors with technologically advanced CO2 sensors. The by-productof this eco-friendly state of the art technology is heightened meeting productivity and reduced health issues. Ourheating and cooling systems do not contain CFC’s or HCFC’s, low VOC carpeting and the use of chemical free paintsand cleaners means the air is virtually allergen free.

ACCOMMODATIONS

In an effort to reduce transportation related emissions, accommodations for the 2013 Energy Matters Summit have beenarranged at the Radisson Suite Hotel Toronto Airport, conveniently located next to the Toronto Congress Centre.

The Radisson Suite Hotel Toronto Airport is recognized as a 3 Green Key hotel and has shown national industry leadershipand commitment to protecting the environment through wide ranging policies and practices. Their programs involvemanagement, employees, guests as well as the public and have shown substantial and measurable results. In 2006, TheHotel Association of Canada (HAC) awarded the Radisson Suite Hotel Toronto Airport with a 3 Green Key ECOmmodationstanding for: taking significant steps to protect the environment by implementing strong environmental programs, bestmanagement practices, training programs, and engineering solutions which have benefited the environment and thelocal community.

IN ADDITION

The Energy Matters Summit team has made a variety of other environmentally-responsible choices:• Arranging for accommodations directly beside the Toronto Congress Centre to help reduce transportation related emissions

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

• Making hotel reservations available online via a dedicated web page• Providing all event updates via e-mail to registered delegates• Conducting the majority of marketing campaigns via e-mail, radio and web• Printing on FSC, eco-logo certified paper• Taking measures to reduce waste; using bulk water instead of bottled water• Using local, environmentally-friendly suppliers where possible• Turning off lights and shutting down electronics in support rooms at the end of each day

Linen & Paper FreeThe Toronto Congress Centre’s eco-chic meeting rooms have attractive tabletop finishes to reduce the need forlinen, thus reducing the amount of water and chemicals required to clean them. Our high energy hand dryersmean no disposable paper products in our washrooms.

Rain Water IrrigationThe existing water tower will be fitted to filter sediment before it enters the city’s storm sewers and will providerain water irrigation for the surrounding landscaping.

Green RoofFoundations for a green roof have been installed and soon a living roof will be in place to absorb carbon dioxideand emit oxygen, further reducing the heat island effects from building operations and improving storm watermanagement.

FoodWe have partnered with local growers and wine producers within a 100 mile radius so our culinary team canprovide the freshest local ingredients while reducing the carbon footprint - showcasing our regions best in theirseasonal offerings year round.
