January 2016 || Volume 52 || Issue 1A 1/4" can save the octagonal boxi’m a master electrician and 1-1/2” octagon-
al boxes are a pain in the ass! Every ceiling I
work in has 3/4” strapping and 1/2” drywall,
which does not add up to 1-1/2”. So every
time I install one, I have to mount my cross-
piece a 1/4” up from the bottom of the joists.
If the client wants a
light where the joist
is, then I have to put
a piece of strapping
under the joist and
mount a 1/2” box. If the
fixture they want has a
transformer, it’s not going
to fit; or, if I have more than one wire in
the box, the alternative is to put a 1/4” shim
under the joist, mount a 1/2” box and add a
1/2” extension ring. Ridiculous!
All these problems—the extra cost of hav-
ing to buy two expensive boxes, the wasted
time—could be avoided buy making the
exact same octagonal box 1-1/4” deep (and
you save 1/4” of metal on every box. I’m sure
every electrician and contractor that works
in residential would buy them. For me, it’s
a no-brainer.
The fact that the box is smaller and can-
not fit as many wires doesn’t matter because
nobody wires houses like octopuses (having
all the wires going to the centre light) any
more—that’s part of the past now, hopefully
to be joined by those 1-1/2” octagonal boxes.

INDUSTRY news
ECAA sports new lookElectrical Contractors Association of Alberta (www.ecaa.ab.ca) recently retired its previous brand and has launched a colourful, sleek new look and website.
The retired logo will make its way into a time capsule, which will be opened at ECAA’s 100th anniversary celebration in 2062.
EBMag asked ECAA’s communications chair Jeanette DeBruin to discuss the
new logo, and she said it is “clean, bold, modern, clever, professional”.
The crest in the middle mimics the Alberta crest and, at its heart, is the circuit symbol for a wire coil that also depicts the letter “E”.
Finally, the logo employs a “friendly green and black, that is welcoming, strong, trustworthy, and ties back to the industry”.
Pole-digger dies from electrical contact “PowerStream and its employees are deeply saddened by this loss of life; our thoughts and prayers are with his family, co-workers and friends at this most dif-ficult time,” said Maurizio Bevilacqua and Brian Bentz, board chair and president/CEO, respectively, of PowerStream (www.powerstream.ca)—an electric utility jointly owned by the Ontario cities of Barrie, Markham and Vaughan.
Bevilacqua and Bentz were referring to an electrical contact incident on Hwy 7 in November, just east of Dufferin Street in Vaughan, involving a 25-year-old employ-ee of PGC Services.
York Regional Police tweeted the worker had been electrocuted and “sadly suc-cumbed to his injuries in hospital”.
According to PowerStream, the incident involved unintentional contact with over-head high-voltage electrical distribution lines by hydrovac excavation equipment being used by PGC Services to dig holes for new electrical poles.
PowerStream adds the Ministry of Labour has been advised and is investigat-ing the incident, and that its own health & safety department opened an internal investigation.
Andy Cleven wins Lieutenant Governor Safety AwardCongratulations to Andy Cleven for re-ceiving the Excellence in Electrical Safety Award as part of the BC Safety Authority’s (www.safetyauthority.ca) 9th annual Lieutenant Governor Safety Awards.
Cleven has 43 years of experience as an electrical journeyperson, the organization stated, and is the director of the Electrical Joint Training Committee (EJTC). Among many achievements, Cleven developed the national program standards and certification for photo-voltaic solar installations and electric vehicle infrastructure, according to BC Safety Authority. He also serves on the National Electrical Trades Council steer-ing committee.
CCDA’s Harmonization Initiative - Phase 2 to include electriciansThe Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA), the administra-tor of Canada’s Red Seal Program (www.red-seal.ca), has announced its Harmonization Initiative will include construc-tion electricians and industrial electricians in Phase 2.
The Harmonization Initiative was launched in 2013 to align apprenticeship systems across Canada by making training require-ments more consistent in the Red Seal trades, says CCDA.
CCDA says changes are now underway in most jurisdictions for six of the first 10 Red Seal trades (carpenters, welders, ironworkers and metal fabricators), aiming for implementation of harmonized training by September 2016.
Phase 2 of the Harmonization Initiative, which includes construction and industrial electricians along with millwrights, plumb-ers, pipefitters and more, is expected to be implemented by September 2017, according to the CCDA.
BC code comes into force February 2016 BC Safety Authority (safetyauthority.ca) reports the Electrical Safety Regulation in British Columbia has been amended as per Ministerial Order M392, and is effective as of February 29, 2016. This provides for adoption of the 2015 Canadian Electrical Code—with BC amendments—as the BC Electrical Code 2015.
BC Electrical Code Reg. 2012 remains in effect until February 28, 2016.For more information on the changes, visit tinyurl.com/opeb9f3.
2015 Ontario Electrical Safety Code now availableThe 2015 edition of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (tinyurl.com/hoj6buq) has been finalized and is now available for pur-chase, says the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA, www.esasafe.com). The Code comes into effect on May 5, 2016.
The 2015 edition includes the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, plus several Ontario-specific amendments. ESA explains this edition expands requirements for the use of arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) in homes to help reduce wir-ing-related fires, and includes changes for renewable energy installations, including specific changes for solar.
It also features: new guidelines for the safe clearances needed between light fixtures and combustible material to help minimize potential fire hazards; details on wiring at non-commercial docks (such as cottages); new requirements for the installation of LEDs in residential buildings; and specifics on the location of electrical hook-ups for recreational vehicle (RV) parking (to harmonize with the United States’ National Electrical Code).

Predicting large solar storms 24hr+ in advanceLarge magnetic storms from the sun—which can affect technologies such as utility grids and GPS—could soon be predicted more than 24 hours in advance, thanks to a new measurement and modelling tool.
“As we become more entwined with technology, disruption from large space weather events affects our daily lives more and more,” explained Dr. Neel Savani, an alumnus and visiting researcher at Imperial College London (www.imperial.
ac.uk), and a space scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. “Breaking through that 24-hour barrier to prediction is crucial for dealing efficiently with any potential problems before they arise.”
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are eruptions of gas and magnetized material from the sun that have the potential to wreak havoc on satellites and Earth-bound technologies, disrupting radio transmissions and causing transformer blowouts and blackouts.
Solar storm predictions had previously relied on measuring the initial CME
eruption, but were not efficient at modelling what happened between this and the cloud’s arrival at Earth. The new technique—developed by a team led by Savani—takes a closer look at where mass ejections originate from on the sun and makes use of a range of observatories to track and model the evolution of the cloud.Savani and colleagues have tested the model on eight previous mass ejections, with the results showing great promise, they say, at improving the current forecasting system.

Tony Dean turns in his homework on Ontario College of Trades Appointed just over a year ago to review “key areas of Ontario’s skilled trades system” that fall within the mandate of the Ontario College of Trades (www.collegeoftrades.ca), Tony Dean has completed his task, and the province says it will accept the recommendations made by former secretary of cabinet.
According to the province, Dean’s recommendations will help improve the college’s processes and clarify its man-date by:
to update and bring consistency to all trades’ scopes of practice
through the establishment of an independent and evidence-based process that will use risk of harm as a key criterion
criteria on how journeyperson-to-ap-prentice ratios are determined
-pliance committee and appeal process to resolve potential conflicts earlier, as well as ensure enforcement activities are consistently carried out with safety and the public interest in mind
Ontario says it will bring forward proposed legislative changes in the spring legislative session and “work closely with the College of Trades to implement Mr. Dean’s recom-mendations”.
Defective CFLs cost Philips $2-million civil penaltyThe U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (www.cpsc.gov) says Philips Lighting North America Corp. has agreed to pay a $2-million civil penalty to the government to settle charges that the company knowingly failed to report to CPSC information about a defect and a risk of injury with EnergySaver CFLs (a.k.a. Marathon or Marathon Classic).
According to CPSC, Philips (Somerset, N.J.) failed to report the matter to them after numerous complaints about glass separating from the body of the lamps and striking people and objects, and attempting multiple design changes to fix

Division (www.prairiesouth.ca) in the west-central part of Saskatchewan—has launched a new tool to help young people in the province get the experience they need to fill these roles.
SaskPower has presented a “mobile lab” to support Grade 11 and 12 students as they work toward building credits for their Fifth Class Power Engineering Certificate. The lab is essentially a boiler room on wheels, SaskPower says. Students participating in the program can find it challenging to travel to the nearest power station to complete their mandatory lab hours so the mobile lab creates easier access for students while increasing awareness of a high-demand career.
The lab was most recently stationed at Assiniboia. It available to any school that registers students in Prairie South’s online Introduction to Power Engineering courses for the 2016-2017 school year.
Know any clever energy conservation kids on The Rock? Teachers and students in Newfoundland & Labrador! TakeCharge (takechargenl.ca) has launched the 3rd annual Kids In Charge (KICStart) province-wide school contest that encourages participating students to express why they believe energy conservation is important, and to demonstrate what they do to save energy.
The contest (which features iPads for priz-es) has been expanded this year to include students of all grade levels (K-12), who are invited to submit entries in the form of a video, book, song, poster or other creative media that communicate energy savings.
Entries must be submitted by mail or email to your local utility:

The lamps were recalled in 2011. Philips (www.philips.ca) does not admit to CPSC staff’s charges.
In addition to paying the $2 million civil penalty, CPSC says Philips has agreed to implement and maintain a compliance program.
Nova Scotia to strengthen Marine Renewable-Energy Act The government of Nova Scotia (novascotia.ca) says it will usher forth changes to strengthen the Marine Renewable-Energy Act. These changes are the result of consultations with com-munities, environmental groups, academia, industry and government over the summer after legislation was introduced in April 2015 to ensure “safe and responsible de-velopment of the marine renewable-energy industry and the resource”.
Changes include a stronger requirement for environmental monitoring, several administrative changes, and the creation of three new marine renewable-electricity areas for small-scale tidal energy develop-ment. The three areas cover Fundy Tidal Inc.’s (www.fundytidal.com) approved com-munity feed-in tariff projects in the Digby Gut, Grand Passage and Petit Passage.

Review process begins for Manitoba-Minnesota Transmission Project Manitoba Hydro (www.hydro.mb.ca) has announced it is moving forward with the final preferred route for the Manitoba-Min-nesota Transmission Project (MMTP). The utility said it recently filed an Environment-al Impact Statement (EIS) with provincial regulators, as part of the process for securing a license for the transmission line under the province’s Environment Act.
“The filing of the EIS with Manitoba Con-servation and Water Stewardship begins the formal regulatory review process for the project,” said Shane Mailey, Manitoba Hydro’s vice-president of transmission. “As part of the process, the public will have an opportunity to comment on the project and the route through Manitoba Conserv-ation and Water Stewardship,” he added. “The selection of the route and submission of the EIS are the culmination of several years of planning, environmental studies, and engagement with a broad range of interests.”
The MMTP is needed to both export surplus electricity and enhance the reli-ability of the province’s electricity supply in emergency and drought situations, the utility said. The 213-km, 500-kilovolt alternating current line will originate at the Dorsey Converter Station—located near Rosser, northwest of Winnipeg—and travel south into Minnesota.
The estimated cost of the project is $350 million with an anticipated in-service date of mid-2020, according to Manitoba Hydro.
Best way to gauge light pollution? From a space station, of course! Scientists are tapping into photographs taken by astronauts aboard the Inter-national Space Station (ISS) to measure the amount of light pollution worldwide and, not surprisingly, their results confirm that the diffuse glow that brightens the night skies in and around cities is scattered light from streetlights and buildings.
In a new study, scientists from Canada’s Cégep de Sherbrooke and Spain’s Universi-dad Complutense de Madrid—together with members of the public—have worked on a project called Cities at Night, whose aim is to produce a global colour map of the Earth at night from pictures taken by ISS astronauts using a standard digital camera.
Starting in July 2014, the project required the cataloguing of over 130,000 images (the ISS’s entire high-resolution archive) and geo-referencing them to places on a map.
The researchers discovered that European countries and cities that have a higher public debt also have a higher energy consumption of streetlighting per inhabitant. The total cost of the energy consumption for streetlights is estimated by the study to be 6300 million euros/year in the European Union.
Studying lighting technology from orbit is of even greater importance now than before, insist researchers, due to massive transitions to LED technology. LED streetlights make light pollution such as sky glow significantly worse, researchers find, as they emit more blue and green light than the high-pressure sodium (HPS) lights they typically replace.
The researchers’ findings were pre-sented at the International Astronomical Union (IAU) General Assembly in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Riello signs Enviro-Energy as 1st Canadian distributorRiello UPS (www.riello-ups.com)—which claims it is the fourth largest manufac-turer of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in the world—has now extended its distribution partnership in Canada with Enviro-Energy (canusenviro.com), a division of Liaison Can./U.S. Logistics Inc.
Enviro-Energy will assume responsib-ility for marketing and sales of 3-phase, UL-listed Riello UPS products from their Quebec headquarters.
Ontario permanently BANScoal-fired electricity generationThe Province of Ontario has passed legislation to permanently ban coal-fired electricity generation in the province.
The Ending Coal for Cleaner Air Act prevents new and existing facilities from burning coal for the sole purpose of gener-ating electricity. It sets maximum fines for anyone who violates the ban, and “enshrines the health and environmental benefits of making coal-fired electricity illegal” in law.
Alterra Power acquires four BC hydro projects from Sigma Alterra Power Corp. (www.alterrapower.ca) says it has agreed to acquire the water rights for four hydroelectric development projects from Sigma Engineering (the Chusan, Powell, Eldred North and Eldred South projects).
The projects are located approximately 20-30 km from Alterra’s existing Toba Montrose and Jimmie Creek projects, and are situated along the Toba Montrose transmission line in British Columbia. Each project is expected to have between 10-15MW of generation capacity, and could be eligible for power purchase agreements under BC Hydro’s Standing Offer Program, Alterra noted.The blue line shows the preferred

George Minow is
the manager of
health, safety &
wellness with
of a group called the Associ-
the last meeting George hosted
in October, he mentioned that
an important public safety
video he and the utility had
been working on was just about
ready for release.
A month or so later, George
emailed me to say the video had
gone live, and encouraged me
and other recipients to share the
link with all the other municipal
hydro companies, as well as our
family and friends.
I clicked the link immedi-
ately, of course, curious to know
what this video was all about...
what could be so important that
George would want us to share
the video with pretty much
everyone we know?
All it took was just 1 minute
and 11 seconds—the length of
the video itself, actually—to
realize George and his team
put together an incredibly im-
portant electrical public safety
message, which answers a very
straightforward question:
Do you know what to do if your vehicle comes into contact with live powerlines?
After watching the video, I con-
tacted George and asked him,
“What was the main reason that
prompted your group to create
this video?”.
George explained that too
many drivers simply don’t know
what to do in the event
their vehicles come

One of the largest
asset portfolios in
North America
isn’t made up of the
shiny glass towers of
corporate America
or the glitter of retail malls. Instead
it’s the network of schools that stretch
across Ontario.
With more than 5,500 sites and over
250,000,000 sf, Ontario’s education
sector is larger in size than several of
Canada’s leading national property
management companies’ portfolios
combined!
Ontario’s education sector consists
of 72 district school boards, grouped
into four categories: Public, Catholic,
English, French.
Each district school board is
autonomous and makes its own de-
cisions about policies and programs
related to operations issues, such as
energy management.
School boards receive 100% of
their funding from the Ministry of
Education. Funding allocations are
announced each Spring for the subse-
quent school board fiscal year, which
runs from September 1 to August 31.
Boards receive a Plant Operations
allocation, which covers expenditures
related to maintenance, custodial
supplies, salaries and utilities.
joint ownership, such as a school
that is owned by two school boards,
or with a municipality (e.g. com-
munity centres, libraries, pools).
See Table 1.
Additional energy management challengesIn addition to the diversity of the
overall asset portfolio, Ontario’s edu-
cation sector is undergoing a number
of transitions that will have an impact
on energy consumption:
Since 2002-03, student enrol-ment has been declining across the province. In some northern communities, declining enrolment has reached as high as 15%.
as low as only 29.1%. Funding
allocations for boards are based on
student enrolment, which means
administrative funding has also
been declining.
Energy management and oper-ational capacity across the prov-ince is inconsistent. Boards with larger budgets have
greater flexibility to be able to hire
a dedicated resource—an expert in
energy management that can focus
on reducing energy consumption.
In contrast, energy management
Overview of asset portfolioInitially, it might appear that schools
sound like a simple, straightforward
asset portfolio. Many of us received
an education in one or both of the
two classic types of buildings—ele-
and secondary schools (Grades 9 to
12)—but consider the following com-
plexities of the portfolio that impacts
energy management:
from 1791 to present day.

few as nine to as many as 634.
quite small and centralized in large,
urban centres (e.g. the Greater
Toronto Area) or can be a vast area
with only a few schools scattered
across it, and travel times of up to
six hours between outlying sites (as
is the case for many northern, rural
or French boards).

within a small board would likely
be combined with a series of other
functions, such as maintenance,
student transportation, custodial
management, snow removal, etc.,
and, as a result, the individual may
not have a high level of knowledge
or expertise in energy management.
Over the next few years, Human Resources analysis indicates there will be a significant de-parture of key management and operational personnel across all school boards as baby boomers reach retirement age. A substantial amount of corporate
knowledge and understanding of
how to effectively manage and oper-
ate facilities will leave the sector.
Economies of scale exist for larger boards, such as:1. Depth of expertise in energy
management; 2. Lower per-unit
costs resulting from volume pro-
curement (buying 1,000 versus
200,000 replacement lamps);
3. Leveraging procurement pro-
cesses to cover multiple sites (new
roof for five sites in a year) and
the ability to write one RFP for
multiple projects.
Increased hours of operations. Schools are no longer a 9 to 3:30
business; with daycare, after-school
programs, community use and
continuing education programs,
schools can open as early as 6:00
am and remain in use up until
10:00 pm. As more constraints are
placed on funding across the entire
public sector, municipalities are
looking to use local schools and
their infrastructure as community
hubs to provide programs both
during the week and on weekends,
further expanding the traditional
hours of operation.
Across the province, school boards have relationships with 68 electricity local distribution companies (LDCs) and four nat-ural gas LDCs. Many boards, especially those with
large territories, have relationships
with multiple LDCs—in some
cases, as many as 12 electricity
LDCs for one board.
The Ministry of Education cares about energy managementThe Ministry of Education has four
renewed goals:
1. Achieve excellence: Children and
students of all ages will achieve
high levels of academic perform-
ance, acquire valuable skills and
demonstrate good citizenship.
Educators will be supported in
learning continuously, and will be
recognized as among the best in
the world.
2. Ensure equity: All children and
students will be inspired to reach
their full potential, with access
to rich learning experiences that
begin at birth and continue into
adulthood.
3. Promote well-being: All children and
students will develop enhanced
mental and physical health, a
positive sense of self and belong-
ing, and the skills to make positive
choices.
4. Enhance public confidence: Ontar-
ians will continue to have confi-
dence in a publicly funded educa-
tion system that helps develop new
generations of confident, capable
and caring citizens.
So what do any of these four goals
have to do with energy management?
In a nutshell, it is believed that there
is a direct correlation between how a
school board is managed and student
achievement; the better managed the
board, the higher the levels of student
achievement.
Powering education: Ontario schools range from 750 sf to 270,000 sf and school boards are facing a variety of energy challenges.

Acting on this premise, the Min-
istry initiated Operational Reviews
of all school boards beginning in
2007. The purpose of these reviews
was to examine all functional areas of
governance, administration, manage-
ment and operations against leading
business practices in a board. At
the conclusion of each Operational
Review, the board received a report
outlining the findings and identifying
opportunities for improvement.
In the early stages of the reviews,
energy management was identified
as an area that was either weak or
non-existent for many boards.
The Ministry of Education’s Energy Management InitiativeGiven the complexity and diversity
of the asset portfolio, the unique
challenges related to geography and
structure, the large number of deci-
sion-makers and their varied level of
knowledge/expertise, any strategy to
build energy management capacity
across the education sector needed
to be multi-faceted to address both
the distinct challenges and varying
capacity of front-line staff.
Fortunately, the Ministry and its
72 school boards have a collaborative
relationship and a long history of
partnering to find ways to improve and
build on identified successes across the
sector. Through this partnership, the
Ministry identified the cornerstones
that were required by the sector: in-
formation, resources and tools.
Energy Management Initiative, and
here’s what they did:
ENERGY CONSERVATIONOFFICER (ECO)
THE CHALLENGESTo give the Energy Management Initiative credibility within the education sector as a whole but, specifically, with senior plant managers or energy managers.Within the sector, there were in-dividuals with expertise in energy management, but there wasn’t a formal structure for sharing that knowledge or nurturing it within boards that lacked that expertise.
STARTING POINTThe Ministry needed an “energy
management champion” to lead the
initiative; someone who had:
technical background in energy
management,
-
cation facilities, and how the sector
worked,
-
ducing energy consumption across
a board’s asset portfolio over an
extended period, and
as a leader in energy management.
The role of the ECO is to:
with technical support and advice
in energy management,
initiatives, such as the Incentive
Programs Advisor,
how to implement specific energy
projects in the education sector, and
the sector to identify best practices
in energy management within the
sector and to promote them.
SOLUTIONNorm Vezina, Senior Manager of
Environmental and Office Services,
York Catholic District School Board
(YCDSB), was appointed as the
ECO for the sector. Over a decade,
Vezina had reduced YCDSB’s energy
consumption by 44%. In addition,
he was the lead for the Catholic
School Board Services Association’s
(CSBSA) Electricity and Natural
Gas Procurement Consortia, and he
was well-known and respected by his
peers across the sector.

was built to work in conjunction
with the other existing or planned
projects that were being done by
both the Ministry and other sector
organizations so as to maximize
their effectiveness.
Maintenance and Construction
(OMC) Energy Subcommittee, the
ECO asked boards to share their
best practices in energy manage-
ment, and these were promoted to
all boards.
UTILITY CONSUMPTIONDATABASE (UCD)
THE CHALLENGESThe underlying premise of con-servation is that you can’t con-serve what you can’t measure, and only a handful of boards had the tools in place to measure energy consumption.For energy consumption data to have meaning, it has to be done at the site level, by utility, and include factors that impact a site’s energy consumption, such as building area. Furthermore, data had to be collected over an extended period and allow for weather nor-

malization so that year-over-year comparisons could be made to as-sess the effectiveness of specific energy management strategies.In 2006, the Ministry of Energy passed the Energy Conservation and Leadership Act, which pro-posed creating regulations that would require all Broader Public Sector (BPS) organizations to re-port on their energy consumption. In 2009, the Green Energy Act replaced the existing legislation and, in 2011, regulations came into force requiring all BPS organiza-tions to submit an Annual Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report to the Min-istry of Energy detailing the energy consumption by type for each site.
STARTING POINT
boards did not measure energy con-
sumption at all (neither site nor board
levels). A few boards had stand-alone
systems that collected data, but those
systems collected data for a small
number of sites for a single board
(typically through a manual process
pulled from billing statements).
For most boards, the only means
of measuring energy was via utility
costs, which was ineffective due to
price volatility, and inappropriate as
it did not allow for either meaningful
comparisons (e.g. year-over-year,
similar sites) nor the ability to meet
regulatory reporting requirements.
SOLUTIONThe Ministry of Education created a
tool for all school boards that would
track the historic energy consump-
tion of every site across the sector:
analytical tool that would give every
school board and the Ministry the
ability to:
type for an individual site, a board’s
aggregate total, a regional aggregate
total or provincial aggregate total.
of sites with similar features (e.g.
year of construction, building area,
number of portables, hours of
operation, percentage of air-con-
ditioned area) both within a board
and across the sector to allow for
benchmarking.
an individual site, an entire board’s
asset portfolio or the entire sector’s
asset portfolio from one year to an-
other without skewing for weather
variations (weather normalized
data).
-
sumption i.e. high-performing
sites, low-performing sites, overall
reduction in energy consumed, etc.
-
quirements of the Green Energy Act.
Given the size of the project—more
than 5,500 sites—the Ministry
made the decision to limit the data
collection at the time of launch to
two utilities: electricity and natural
gas. This decision was based on the
following key factors:
1. Electricity and natural gas are the
only utilities required by regulation
to provide consumption data to
customers in an electronic format.
-
tures in FY2006-07, electricity
and natural gas costs represent
(N.B. when the decision to create
FY2006-07 data were the latest
figures available).
-
heating fuel, propane, wood, district
heat/cool), renewable energy (e.g.
solar PV, solar air, solar water, wind
turbines, biomass) and water.
RESULTSIn 2009, the Ministry launched the
databases of its kind in North Amer-
meters and 5,765 natural gas meters.

In 2013—the first year of the
Green Energy Act’s Annual Energy
Consumption and Greenhouse Gas
Emissions report was due—school
automatically pre-populate the re-
porting template, which significantly
reduced the quantity of administra-
tive work required to complete the re-
port. As a result, the education sector
has had the highest level of reporting
compliance across the entire Broader
Public Sector (BPS) for the past three
consecutive years.
INCENTIVE PROGRAMSADVISOR
THE CHALLENGESSchool boards had difficulty access-ing incentive program funding for the following reasons:
More than 40 energy efficiency incentive programs existed, and there was confusion about which programs were applicable.Various incentive funding and delivery agents and rules.Numerous documentation requirements.Lengthy approval processes
STARTING POINTBecause of all the perceived challen-
ges, many school boards were simply
opting not to apply for incentive fund-
ing. As a result, there wasn’t a finan-
cial reason to make better long-term
choices, or they were implementing
energy-efficient equipment and los-
ing out on a valuable opportunity to
leverage additional public funding to
support its implementation.
SOLUTIONThe Ministry identified the need
to make the application process to
incentive funding programs easier.
What was needed was a sector-wide
resource that was an expert at com-
pleting incentive applications and
dedicated to assisting school boards
with the process.
Through a partnership between
the Ministry and YCDSB, the ECO
applied to the Ontario Power Author-
ity (OPA) for a Conservation Fund
Grant to pilot the creation of an
Incentive Programs Advisor (IPA).
The IPA pilot ran from 2009 to 2011
with matching Ministry of Education
and OPA funding. At the conclusion
of the pilot in 2011, the Ministry of

Available to all interested school

RESULTSSince 2009, the IPA has completed
more than 600 incentive funding ap-

The total value of the applications
is over $7 million. To date, school
boards have received over $5 million

approval.

One of the unintended results of
creating the IPA position is that the
OPA recognized this position as
a “super user”—that is, the IPA’s
volume of incentive applications was
so high, it reflected a level of exper-
tise with incentive programs that
could be tapped by funding agents
to determine better ways of helping
the education sector participate in
specific incentive programs, and to
identify ways of tailoring programs
to make them work.
For example, the goal of many
incentive funding agents is to reduce
peak demand on the province’s
electrical system, yet schools—by
the nature of their business—cannot
shift their consumption patterns out-
side the primary hours of operation,
which left some incentive programs
irrelevant to the sector.
Another sector-specific challenge
for incentive programs is the require-
ment for pre-approval of applications
before work can begin. As everyone
knows, schools run on a non-nego-
tiable schedule: students occupy the
buildings from September to June
(and sometimes July and August for
summer school and other activities),
leaving very little opportunity to com-
approval process for some incentives
can be quite lengthy—on average,
about 50 calendar days. The result
in many cases is that boards have
applied for an incentive program but
have not received the pre-approval to
proceed with the implementation of
the equipment by the scheduled start
date, forcing them to implement the
project without it.
Gradually the OPA and LDCs are
beginning to improve the approval
process. An example is the recent
that now allows a 45-day retroactive
period for unplanned equipment
replacements.
SummaryThe education sector’s Energy
Management Initiative has been built
around three key cornerstones:
Officer

Database
Together the Ministry and the educa-
tion sector have laid the foundation
for building energy management
capacity across Ontario.
An incentive programs advisor, Robert Smith, possesses over 35 years of experience in the energy sector. He is a Certified Engineering Technician (CET) and a Certified Energy Manager (CEM). He works with Ontario’s Ministry of Education helping school boards access incentive programs to help fund their energy conservation projects. Robert has completed over 429 incentive applications, and has been successful in helping school boards secure over $5.1 million in incentive funds since 2009.

And in this corner...So, how do we decide what to test?
Well, as anyone who’s bought a truck
knows, manufacturers never sleep,
bringing something different to
market every year. As the challenge
looks to follow market trends, what
and how we test must change each
year, too. The coming 2016 model
year proved no different. We had a
field of 14 contenders at IronWood
this year covering four (4) categories.
They were:

to compete just because a truck is in
the second or third year of its current
generational life.
So, this spring we decided that, for
the first time, the immediate previ-
ous year’s winner (in each category)
would be offered the chance to send
its current truck back to IronWood
to compete against the newcomers to
the market.
This year, the invitation was sent to
the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, Ford Transit
250 and Nissan NV200—all previous
winners that accepted the offer to
return and fight for their crowns.
They, along with the new vehicles,
took the tests over two days with the
judges evaluating everything from
towing feel to interior features.
Let’s get to this year’s winnersThe judges score each vehicle in 20
different categories; these scores
are then averaged across the field of
judges and converted to a score out
of 100. Finally the ‘as tested’ price of
each vehicle is also weighted against
the average (adding or subtracting
points) for the final outcome.

GREEN ENERGY
Climate change is real.
The world is heating
up. I saw this first-
hand a decade ago
when I arrived at
the North Pole on
a Russian nuclear icebreaker. There
was no ice. We had to wait a day for
the current to push ice floes our way.
In 2014, I travelled with the two-
week expedition that found Sir John
Franklin’s ship. Around 20 Arctic
experts spoke to us about the prob-
lems of pollution and heating, which
comes from North America, and that
amount is decreasing.
So far, our lives have been only
slightly inconvenienced but, once the
glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica
melt, serious problems are coming.
Burning fossil fuels for our power,
vehicles, homes, etc., is the main
cause. Fossil fuels helped make our
modern world possible, but if we are
to avert a global climate disaster,
we have to imagine a future without
those fuels. So how do we power our
planet without making things worse?
By intelligently generating and stor-
ing electricity.
How not to tackle fossil fuelsThe Province of Ontario, sadly, is a
classic example of how not to tackle
fossil fuels. Why? Because of green.
Governments want to look like
they’re doing the right thing, but they
often get so excited about anything
green that they lose common sense,
like lemmings rushing to the sea.
In January 2015, I presented some
green energy facts and figures to the
Standing Committee on Finance
show up first in the North—the
proverbial canary in the coal mine.
These experts have observed melting
sea ice, stressed animal and marine
life, receding glaciers, ponds drying
up, estuaries becoming saltier, etc.
They can also pinpoint where coal
is being burned to create power.
Pollution doesn’t stay at its point of
origin, but travels around the world.
For example, the atmospheric source
of 65% of the mercury in the Cana-
dian North comes principally from

& Economic Affairs of the Govern-
ment of Ontario. Among them, $2.7
billion is wasted every year because
of the Green Energy Act (GEA). This
conservative figure was forecast in the
province’s Auditor General’s report
of 2011, and the AG 2014 report
confirmed this loss. Green energy
contracts are for 20 years. That’s a
minimum of $54 billion. The AG’s re-
port clearly suggests that all technical
and economic analyses were ignored
because of the word green.
As Ontario doubles the amount
of connected wind capacity, that
amount will likely double to some
$100 billion. It will get worse as even
more is connected. The Fraser Insti-
tute estimates the GEA cost could
The Green Energy Act was pro-
claimed for three main reasons:
1. Attract investment in renewable
energy
2. Increase job opportunities
3. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Let’s look at the results:
1. ATTRACT INVESTMENT INRENEWABLE ENERGY
The GEA did attract investors. In
fact, the response was overwhelming.
Investors were salivating because
return was calculated at 11% after tax
on equity. That’s 11% guaranteed for
20 years—certainly much better than
the average GIC.
2. INCREASE JOB OPPORTUNITIESMore jobs? Other jurisdictions have
shown that most jobs are temporary
construction jobs. As for permanent
jobs, for every green energy job cre-
ated, two to four jobs are lost in other
sectors of the economy because of
higher electricity prices.
Ontario’s economy does not func-
tion in a vacuum. It must compete
globally. Places like China, India and
Eastern Europe are putting in place
the least-costly energy systems, main-
ly coal. China, for all its green energy
approaches (including nuclear ),
continues to install coal-fired power
plants at the rate of one per week!
Ontario, meantime, closed five coal
power plants while other jurisdictions
that compete against us are building
some 1,200 more, and/or finding
solutions for reducing coal emissions
(e.g. Saskatchewan’s Boundary Dam
Integrated CCS Demonstration proj-
3. REDUCE GREENHOUSE GASEMISSIONS
Green energy does reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, but is it a meaningful
reduction? Could it have been accom-
do people want to spend to accomplish
this? Wind power must be backed-up
nearly 50% by spinning gas-fired
systems in case the wind drops. This
results in greenhouse gas emissions.
Ontario could have closed all five
coal plants simply by utilizing all the
hydropower it had available. Wind
and sun produce less than 5% of
Ontario’s energy while over 50% of
hydroelectric potential goes wasted.
The DSS Management Consul-
tants report (2005) to Ontario’s Min-
istry of Energy—as summarized by a
Fraser Institute Report (2013)—nev-
er recommended renewable power. It
outlined a plan of pollution control
methods that would have yielded the
same environmental benefits as the
GEA, but at a 10th of the current
cost. The proof is in the pudding:
several years ago, Saskatchewan
started applying technology to reduce
harmful emissions from coal-fired
power plants. This was completed for
$1.4 billion. Even though there are
still technical problems, the Euro-
pean Commission reps who viewed
Saskatchewan’s efforts said they were
very confident of the technology.
The AG 2011 report states “... people
are prepared to pay a modest increase
for renewable electricity…” but “...
only 27% would agree to an increase
in their electricity bills of more than
5%”. For all the talk about reducing
pollution, people won’t walk the talk.
The Ontario Society of Professional
Engineers (OSPE) published an arti-
cle stating “... the public is paying for
its own generators to produce power
it doesn’t need, and then paying its
neighbours to take excess electricity
off its hands [...] This happened in
2011 and will get worse...”
It’s mind-boggling that people are
paid to not produce electricity. They
have a word for this: curtailment.
In 2015, electricity supply exceeded
demand by some 50%. Adding insult
to injury, we deliver power below our
costs to the States—Ontario’s major
competitor—all in the name of green.
Between 2006 and 2013, the cost of
exporting power exceeded revenues
by $2.6 billion.
The single-biggest issue is green
energy’s unrestricted access to the
power grid, which is a balanced
system of energy input and output.
There is no energy storage system.
All other sources of energy—in-
cluding hydraulic and nuclear—are
managed as part of an integrated sys-
tem. Green energy, though, creates
an unstable situation because it has
unrestricted priority.
The future is distributed energyBut this is all just part of a much big-
ger broken picture. Tens of billions of
dollars are being wasted on continu-
ing to enable the technology of the
1900s: namely, today’s power grid.
The future is distributed energy,
but not via modern windmills that
essentially exploit the basic Dutch
technology of 600 years ago. We
should encourage concepts that cap-
ture energy for the 21st Century.
We already have the indicators...
airborne wind turbines, wind absorb-
ers (no moving blades), energy stor-
age with and without batteries, and
clothing that absorbs body energy
and charges our phones and laptops.
Toyota is putting a fuel cell car on the
market, and Elon Musk is making
his PowerWall battery available for
commercial purposes. A potassium
air system that has 3x the storage of
the Tesla battery at half the price is in
development.

sumer is completely off-grid. Build-
ings, vehicles and, yes, even people
will have their own power systems.
The aerospace industry is looking
well into the future. This past July,
Airbus flew a two-seater electrically
powered aircraft called the E-Fan
across the English Channel. The
radical design employs distributed
propulsion, where single big engines
are replaced with multiple electrically
driven fans. The small planes will be
in production by 2017, with larger
ones (e.g. the Airbus VoltAir) in about
a decade, assuming present battery
technology. These quiet planes will
produce no in-flight emissions and re-
duce costs by 30%. The limitations are
being dealt with in two ways: first, lots
of research into better energy storage
and superconductivity. The second, as
an interim measure, is to use hybrids
of jet engines and electric fans.
Centralized power grids are con-
trolled electronically. Foreign powers
have been mapping the North Ameri-
can electrical grid for some time now.
There are many symposia and efforts
to protect this system, but the reality
more complexity and, yes, more work
for those who keep up. In the far fu-
ture, DC will be the common mode
just as surely as solid-state replaced
vacuum tubes. There are already
proposals for 750kVDC powerlines
(Edison would be proud!).
Granted, this progression appears
slow; however, it will be similar to
the now unbelievably rapid advance
of LED lighting in making incandes-
obsolete. Just think: 125 years of leg-
acy lighting will disappear in 10 years.
So be ready folks. It’s coming our
way!
is that, in the case of conflict, it is
certain our power grid will be para-
lyzed. With distributed energy, many
of these security concerns disappear.
In Ontario, unfortunately, the
future is being hamstrung by per-
petuating the old grid technology.
Instead, we should be investing and
encouraging new concepts of cap-
turing energy for the 21st Century.
We need a systematic approach that
balances our need to minimize pol-
lution with the resources available
without compromising our economy
in today’s competitive world.
Worldwide, the single-largest
stumbling block are the fossil fuel
subsidies of over $2.5 trillion, with
coal being subsidized the most. Once
these subsidies on fossil fuels are
stopped and shifted to new technolo-
gies, we will all enjoy a quantum leap
in our quality of life.
Opportunities for electrical con-
tractors will abound as the fossil-fuel
era shifts to distributed electrical
energy. Changes to our electrical
landscape—including power systems
changing from AC to DC—mean
$2.5TRILLION
The estimated worldwide total of present fossil fuel
subsidies
Airbus describes the E-Thrust concept behind the E-Fan as a serial hybrid propulsion system. The E-Thrust is a distributed propulsion system that features numerous electric fans arranged in clusters along the length of each wing. A battery powers the fans, which is also charged by an on-board advanced gas power unit. The gas plant powers the fans directly, though the battery can be charged to power an emergency landing should the gas system fail. A sleek airframe design also allows for reduced weight and drag by decreas-ing the size of the vertical tail and improving weight distribution.
Meantime, the VoltAir technology concept platform supports the vision of a zero-emission air vehicle which could become a reality 20 years from today. The VoltAir’s next-generation elec-tric energy storage system (batteries) will power highly efficient superconducting electric motors that drive counter-rotating, shrouded propellers. Combined with a “radical approach” to airframe design, the expected promising developments in electric propulsion technologies could pave the way toward ultra-quiet and emission-free flight.

CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE GUIDING SAFE INSTALLATIONS FOR MORE THAN 80 YEARS
With a history dating back to the early 20th century, the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, is the original, Canadian-
based safety standard developed to make electrical
installations and equipment safer. One of CSA Group’s
oldest and most respected standards, the Code is
developed through the dedication of CSA Group members
and staff - from industry, utilities. regulators and
consumers - using a balanced concensus-based
approach. This ensures the level of consistency around
electrical installations from coast to coast, forming
the core of the Electrical Safety System in Canada.

A new Subrule (3)
has been added to

age drop”—along
with a new Table
These additions provide max-
imum conductor lengths for
general-use branch circuits in
dwelling units, and compliance
with the specified lengths will be
considered acceptable in lieu of
voltage drop calculations.
In Ontario, a similar Direc-
been issued in November 2013
(and enforced since February
2014), so this Rule has already
been applied in Ontario for single-dwelling units only prior to
being added in the CE Code for all dwelling units.
To ensure the Rule is not
misapplied, there are some im-
portant points regarding how to
measure conductor length. The
new Rule indicates the length is
measured from the supply side
of the consumer’s service to
the furthest point of utilization.
In single dwellings, the meter
base is considered the supply
connection (demarcation) point
when determining voltage drop
for feeders and branch circuits
within the unit.
Where the consumer’s distribu-
tion panel is located some distance
from the meter base, the voltage
drop on the feeder in between
requirements shall be applied to
both the feeder and branch cir-
cuits. The voltage drop in either
the feeder from the meter base to
the panel, or a branch circuit from
the panel to the furthest outlet on
the circuit, cannot exceed 3%, and
the total voltage drop of the two
portions combined cannot exceed
5% (Figure 1).

2. Insufficient measures for voltage drop mitigationThe contractor for a
9000-sf bungalow (with
full basement) had used
#12AWG for most branch
circuits, and added a sub-
panel to feed some others.
Inspection found circuit
the maximum length (60m)
allowed for #12AWG on a
15A breaker. The decision to
use #12AWG and adding a
subpanel without taking the
time to estimate circuit runs
led to non-compliance.
estimate circuit runs correctly,
other means of voltage drop
mitigation might have been less
costly, such as feeding outlets
with more branch circuits and
routing circuits differently to
reduce daisy-chaining. Circuit
runs may exceed expectations,
so take the time to plan a com-
pliant installation.
Always consult your AHJ for more specific interpretations.
