The information in table 4 is a detailed breakdown, of the different operating types of facilities Conestoga College has and the GHG emissions and Energy Intensity. The GHG emissions is reported in kilograms (Kg) of equivalent carbon dioxide (CO 2) units of GHG emissions attributed to the energy purchased and consumed for each operation type reported. The GHG emission factors are based on Environment Canada’s National Inventory. The Energy Intensity reported is the equivalent kilowatt hours per square metre (ekWh/m2) of each operation type reported. The Energy Intensity is calculated based on all of the energy purchased and consumed for each operation type reported relative to floor area. This allows comparison of the efficiency of the same or different operation types within facilities of a public agency or benchmarking against the same operation type province-wide.

5.0 FUTURE REPORTING

5.1 Reporting, Verifying and Updating the Action Plan and Targets Conestoga College energy management will submit a progress report annually. The report will include the status of the measured results as a result of energy retrofit, the current year energy consumption, costs and greenhouse gases inventory. The report will provide details on the various actions taken to achieve the targeted GHG emissions and any changes that can be made. A new project list can be submitted and added to the energy plan. This will be done by the Energy Management Team before the yearly budgets are set. The team will review the Action Plan and decide which projects will be completed based on the budget available.

6.0 Annex

Sample Calculations: Consumption Conversion Calculations: Consumption total for electricity was in kWh and then converted to equivalent Giga Joules (GJ) Example: Baseline (2010-2011) Electricity Consumption: 14,715,381 kWh X 0.0036 GJ/kWh = 52,975.37 GJ

Consumption total for Natural Gas was in cubic meters and then converted to equivalent Giga Joules (GJ)

Example: Baseline (2010-2011) Natural Gas Consumption: 1,398,666 m3 X 0.03769 GJ/m3 = 52,715.72 GJ

Gas Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions:

Greenhouse Gas Emissions –The following calculations are for gas consumption, for electricity consumption similar calculations would be done. The required conversions were found at the Canada’s Climate Voluntary Challenge Registry Inc. website. In the Guidelines section there is a participant’s Handbook sample calculations. The conversion factors for calculating CO2 and the Global Warming Potential (GWP) can also be found at the Environment Canada website.

For 2010-2011 Co2 = Gas Consumption GJ/1000 X 49.68 tons / TJ = 52,715.72 GJ/1000 X 49.68 tons / TJ = 2618.9 tons NOx = Gas Consumption GJ/1000 X 0.62 kg/TJ/1000 X Global Warming Potential = 52,715.72 GJ/1000 x 0.62 kg/TJ/1000 x 298 = 10.7 eCo2 tons CH4 = Gas Consumption GJ/1000 x 1.1 kJ/TJ/1000 x Global Warming Potential = 52,715.72 GJ/1000 x 1.1 kg/TJ/1000 x 25 = 1.4 eCo2 tons Total GHG = CO2(Equiv. CO2 tonnes) + NOx(equiv. CO2 tonnes) + CH4(equiv. CO2 tonnes) = 2618.9 + 10.1 + 1.2 = 2630.1 equivalent CO2 tonnes
