Workshop Session # 1 11:00-12:15pmRoom: Berton 3 and 4Performance Metrics, Standards and Conservation Potential

Workshop Abstract:

An exploration of how building- and system-level benchmarking is driving target, strategy, policy and programmingin different building sectors.Benchmarking is beginning to unlock the considerable potential for deep energy and water use savings in buildings. Theadvent of LEED certification since 2000 has been a key driver of building performance, using the EPA’s Energy Star bench-marking as its foundation. Over the same timeframe, Toronto & Region Conservation’s Living City programming has focusedon benchmarking performance of municipal, hospital and school buildings. In 2008 the Canada Green Building Council’snational pilot projects helped establish the most in-depth database of building performance in North America. Today, On-tario is benchmarking all of its schools, and CivicAction’s Greening Greater Toronto and its Race to Reduce is using bench-marking to help office landlords and tenants work towards higher levels of energy efficiency.Learn how benchmarking is identifying top-performing buildings, design standards for new buildings and retrofits, andbest practices for achieving and sustaining high performance.

Visit the website of almost any organization today and you will not have to search very hard to find language around en-ergy or sustainability. Many in fact, have their energy or sustainability mission statement positioned front-and-centre ontheir home page.As with any plan, it is often easier to set goals than it is to achieve them. Energy and sustainability plans are even morechallenging, as the associated messages and work involved may not be perceived by everyone as being central to the or-ganization’s success. The larger the organization, the more stakeholders will have input and accountability, adding stillmore complexity.This workshop will provide insight into the efforts of Sanofi Pasteur, a global leader in pharmaceutical and vaccine products,at their Canadian research and manufacturing facility located in north Toronto, to respond to a global corporate challengearound energy and sustainability.

The thermal grid connects the central plant location –where the thermal energy is produced – with users through-out thecommunityThe thermal energy that the grid transports can be created using a variety of input feedstock fuels including biomass (for-est, agricultural, municipal solid waste), biogas, waste heat from electricity generation and industry, renewable energyforms (i.e. geo-exchange), natural gas, and cool water. Thermal grids are resilient, once grid is in place, communities can:

• Utilize locally available fuels to generate hot and cool space heating at a community scale• Substitute feedstock to renewables• Add community scale equipment to optimize energy efficiency (e.g. thermal storage, solar thermal, Combined Heat & Power (CHP)• Deliver energy security & resiliency in communities• Defer need for large scale electric transmission infrastructure

Speaker # 2: Fernando R. Carou, City of Toronto

Fernando Carou is the Senior Engineer in charge of assembling the technical, business, and policy framework for new Dis-trict Energy Systems in the City of Toronto. He has over 17 years of experience in the energy, and sustainability fields.Before joining the City of Toronto in early 2011, Fernando managed, delivered, and developed energy and sustainabilityprograms at some of Canada’s most internationally successful corporations, including Magna International, Bentall LP, andAlimentation Couche-Tard.Fernando holds an engineering degree from the University of Toronto as well as Sustainability training from the HarvardUniversity Extension School.


It is not about technology. Thermal networks are about delivering value to communities in the form of economic benefit,energy security, and net environmental benefit.Thermal networks in the form of Community/District Energy Systems (CES) promise a new paradigm of local energy so-lutions for the City of Toronto to meet growing energy demands, achieve higher energy supply efficiency and flexibility,address transmission constraints, future-proof and integrate energy solutions into communities, and increase energy se-curity. CES is also a platform to attract new sources of revenue and financial partnerships to address long-term energytrends for continued economic growth and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.For example, thermal networks with combined heat and power (CHP) achieve double the efficiency of traditional electricitythermal generation by making use of (typically) wasted/dissipated heat. Thermal networks with CHP also relieve stressin the existing electrical infrastructure, support economic growth by stabilizing the cost of living and doing business in thecity, keeps energy dollars within the city, and creates green jobs in the local economy.

Green Initiatives at the 2012 Energy Matters Summit

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

Renewable EnergyThe 2011 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.

STAFF APPARELEnergy Matters Summit apparel is produced in sweatshop-free facilities at high quality standards. American Apparel makesevery effort to incorporate sustainability into their brand by minimizing wasted material, maximizing creative-reuse oftextiles, equipment and supplies, installing solar panels on factories, producing organic clothing lines and providing sus-tainable alternatives for commuting for employees.

VENUEThe 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 Centres 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 to re-cycled, 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 sensors and com-pact fluorescents make major energy reductions. Low flow, low flush and auto flush washroom fixtures save hundreds ofgallons of water a year. Even the glass walled lobby area does its part with thick insulating low E argon filled glass thatoffers high thermal loading which reduces the amount of heating or cooling needed for that area.

Waste DiversionWorking with its recycling partner, The Toronto Congress Centre diverts all waste for sorting and recycling. Easily identifiedbins 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 business sense.The Toronto Congress Centre’s food and beverage program showcases local growers and producers, and we strive to usefresh seasonal produce whenever possible. Our environmentally friendly purchasing policy also ensures that no excesspackaging 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 expansion provides


49

clean fresh air for delegates and exhibitors with technologically advanced CO2 sensors. The by-product of this eco-friendlystate of the art technology is heightened meeting productivity and reduced health issues. Our heating and cooling systemsdo not contain CFC’s or HCFC’s, low VOC carpeting and the use of chemical free paints and cleaners means the air is virtuallyallergen free.

Linen & Paper FreeThe Toronto Congress Centre’s eco-chic meeting rooms have attractive tabletop finishes to reduce the need for linen, thusreducing the amount of water and chemicals required to clean them. Our high energy hand dryers mean no disposablepaper 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 provide rainwater 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 dioxide and emitoxygen, further reducing the heat island effects from building operations and improving storm water management.

FoodWe have partnered with local growers and wine producers within a 100 mile radius so our culinary team can provide thefreshest local ingredients while reducing the carbon footprint - showcasing our regions best in their seasonal offeringsyear round.

ACCOMMODATIONSIn an effort to reduce transportation related emissions, accommodations for the 2012 Energy Matters Summit have beenarranged for at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Airport, conveniently located directly across from the Toronto Con-gress Centre.In 2010, The Hotel Association of Canada (HAC) awarded the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Airport with a 3 GreenKey ECOmmodation standing for: taking significant steps to protect the environment by implementing strong environmentalprograms, best management practices, training programs, and engineering solutions which have benefited the environ-ment and the local community.

IN ADDITIONThe Energy Matters Summit team has made a variety of other environmentally-responsible choices:• Arranging for accommodations directly across the Toronto Congress Centre to help reduce transportation related emis-sions• Cutting paper usage by creating an event page on our website where delegates can register online, as well as downloadour 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• Making post-presentation materials available online (instead of printing paper copies)
