Energy Efficiency Upgrades and
RetrofitsHans Schreff
Program ManagerChief of Giving Money Away
The provincial government has “promised” that
electrical rates will rise by 46 % over the next
five years
Wake up time…
Electricity Pricing … The Future
Section 7, Electricity Prices:“Over the next five years, . . . residential electricity prices are expected to rise by about 7.9 per cent annually (or 46 per cent over five years). This increase will help pay for critical improvements to the electricity capacity in nuclear and gas, transmission and distribution (accounting for about 44 per cent of the price increase) and investment in new, clean renewable energy generation (56 per cent of the increase)” (Ontario’s Long-Term Energy Plan, 59).
7th largest utility in Ontario Largest promoter of MURB retrofits
◦ On electricity, anyway Chill Out refrigerator upgrade program
◦ 13,000 fridges and $ 1,600,000 + CFL Exchange program
◦ 500,000 + CFLs and $ 1,000,000
Great opportunities; and we’re getting better at giving you money
Even if you’re not good at taking it...
Con$ervation: We’re good at it….
Ontario Power Authority and your local Electrical Distributor have new incentive programs that work
There is a limitless amount of dollars that you can apply for and actually receive
Only cap is how much you’re willing, or able, to invest on your end
It can be fast, easy, and rewarding
Follow the money…..
What makes sense for you
Audit Funding Retrofit Funding
Not sure if your building is efficient
Sure your building is NOT efficient
Pretty sure your building is efficient
Haven't a darn clue Who's got the time to
figure it out?
I have to update my suites
My common areas need updating
My appliances are old My lighting looks like
it did 25 years ago My HVAC system
works just as good as it did when I last replaced it
Why do I need an audit? You need to know what you don’t know
◦ Determine a real building assessment for now and the future
◦ Determine what incentives make sense to go after◦ Prioritize capital expenditures◦ Prioritize maintenance activities◦ It’s a report card
Don’t be afraid to find out what’s bad and maybe you’ll find out what’s good
Energy Audit Funding….
www.saveonenergy.ca/business/audit Ontario Power Authority portal for
information and applications Your local LDC will be able to help you
navigate the waters LDC’s need you to do retrofits, so it is in
their interest to help Up to 50% funding available On sale now: buy two and save twice as
much In the long run, it’s a bargain
Audit Funding in Ontario…
Conrad’s slide
There is $$$$$ for any electrical saving upgrade that reduces demand on the electrical system
Lighting◦ Every fixture can be upgraded in your building
Appliances◦ Fridges, dishwasher, washing machines, temp controls
HVAC◦ Unitary Rooftop, chillers,
Motors Pumps
Retrofit: The Real Money….
Garage lighting◦ Typical old T12 - 4’ or 8’ Strips
Replace with new high performance T5 or T8 vapor proof fixtures
Add sensors for day lighting and occupancy* Reduce energy by 30% + and increase quality
Common areas, hallways, stairwells◦ PL is typical old fluorescent technology
Replace with GU24 - 2 pin fixtures Not much energy saving, but better quality and
longer life of lamps (reduces lamp stock, more later)
Lighting upgrades throughout..
Bulk metered buildings Too good to be true…but it isn’t You don’t control asset usage You control the asset So put in the best product you can to help
control the consumption of energy
In Suite lighting…cha-ching!
Low cost upgrade that can lead to a reduction of ~75% of your lighting costs
Guaranteed Pin fixtures prevent the tenant from taking
out the CFL you installed and putting in a 60 watt incandescent or 100 watt
2 pin configuration available in stores CFL with a different base One lamp for everything
◦ All fixtures including the hallways, stairwells etc
GU24 fixtures…
Typical 2 bedroom apartment◦ 2 hallway fixtures ( 1 or 2 lamps)◦ 1 kitchen fixture ( 2 or three lamps, 100 watts)◦ Range hood, aka nightlight (1 lamp)◦ Dining room fixture (3 to 5 lamps)◦ 2 bedroom fixtures ( 4 lamps)◦ 1 or 2 bath fixtures (4 to 6 lamps)◦ Storage, closet, other (1 lamp)
Let’s say 15+ 60 watt lamps (probably more)

Project Success: Defined
You’re not quite as good as you think◦ You’re too busy◦ You don’t quite understand the complexity of the
paperwork◦ You buy on price rather than quality◦ You find the cheapest labour, not the best project
manager◦ You’re going to pay, one way or another◦ You’re a property manager, not an
electricianbureaucratenergyspecialist
What makes a good project…
Use a contractor that has done this before◦ By thousands; not by the dozen◦ The guy you're using now probably is not the one you want to
use Don’t buy on price only
◦ Great product is actually only a few cents more ◦ Reduce call backs
Guarantee a better tenant experience Get a proper building audit or a thorough count and
schedule of replacement fixtures If you fail to follow above principles
◦ Typically 30% loss of opportunity◦ Incentives◦ Ongoing energy cost reductions
