Workshop Session # 1 11:00-12:15pm Room: Berton 3 and 4 Performance Metrics, Standards and Conservation Potential Workshop Abstract: An exploration of how building- and system-level benchmarking is driving target, strategy, policy and programming in different building sectors. Benchmarking is beginning to unlock the considerable potential for deep energy and water use savings in buildings. The advent of LEED certification since 2000 has been a key driver of building performance, using the EPA’s Energy Star benchmarking as its foundation. Over the same timeframe, Toronto & Region Conservation’s Living City programming has focused on benchmarking performance of municipal, hospital and school buildings. In 2008 the Canada Green Building Council’s national pilot projects helped establish the most in-depth database of building performance in North America. Today, Ontario is benchmarking all of its schools, and CivicAction’s Greening Greater Toronto and its Race to Reduce is using benchmarking 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, and best practices for achieving and sustaining high performance.

Melanee is a Chemical Engineering graduate from Queen’s University and also has obtained her Masters from the Schulich School of Business specializing in Strategic Management.

Presentation Abstract: Visit the website of almost any organization today and you will not have to search very hard to find language around energy or sustainability. Many in fact, have their energy or sustainability mission statement positioned front-and-centre on their 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 more challenging, as the associated messages and work involved may not be perceived by everyone as being central to the organization’s success. The larger the organization, the more stakeholders will have input and accountability, adding still more 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 challenge around energy and sustainability.

Presentation Abstract: District Energy (DE) refers to a community scale network of buried pipes (Thermal Grid) that with the aid of steam, hot or chilled water carry thermal (i.e. heating and/or cooling) energy services to a collection of buildings in a defined geographic area). The thermal grid connects the central plant location –where the thermal energy is produced – with users through-out the community The thermal energy that the grid transports can be created using a variety of input feedstock fuels including biomass (forest, agricultural, municipal solid waste), biogas, waste heat from electricity generation and industry, renewable energy forms (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

DAY TWO 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 District 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 sustainability programs at some of Canada’s most internationally successful corporations, including Magna International, Bentall LP, and Alimentation Couche-Tard. Fernando holds an engineering degree from the University of Toronto as well as Sustainability training from the Harvard University Extension School.

Presentation Abstract: 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 solutions 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 security. CES is also a platform to attract new sources of revenue and financial partnerships to address long-term energy trends 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 electricity thermal generation by making use of (typically) wasted/dissipated heat. Thermal networks with CHP also relieve stress in the existing electrical infrastructure, support economic growth by stabilizing the cost of living and doing business in the city, keeps energy dollars within the city, and creates green jobs in the local economy.

Workshop Session #4 11:15-12:30pm Room: Berton 3 and 4 Building Services Industry – Adapting to a New Reality Workshop Abstract: Evaluating the relative benefits of the fast-growing range of energy efficiency products and services. Performance-based conservation promises a new age of enlightenment and opportunity for the buildings’ industry. However, business-as-usual does not work with the new models, and the old paradigms that new technology and high capital expenditure are necessary and sufficient are being disproven. Rather the future belongs to multi-disciplinary teams, evidence-based solutions, engineering fundamentals and relentless pursuit and elimination of compound inefficiencies. Hear from industry players that “get it” and are adapting to the opportunities and challenges of this rapidly changing market.

DAY ONE 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 Energy The 2011 Energy Matters Summit is powered with 100 per cent green electricity. This means that Direct Energy will inject enough 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 exceed the federal government’s EcoLogoM standard for renewable energy.

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

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 next event greener. The Toronto Congress Centres recent expansion, to a million square feet, makes it one of the largest and most sustainable trade 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 recycled, environmentally friendly and reusable content. To further reduce its carbon foot print only local building materials and construction trades were used. The Toronto Congress Centre recognizes its responsibility to practice and promote behaviours that support current and future environmental sustainability. These practices include: Energy Efficiency and Water Conservation Electronic energy efficient ballasts, dimming controls, interior daylight sensors, LED exit signs, occupancy sensors and compact fluorescents make major energy reductions. Low flow, low flush and auto flush washroom fixtures save hundreds of gallons of water a year. Even the glass walled lobby area does its part with thick insulating low E argon filled glass that offers high thermal loading which reduces the amount of heating or cooling needed for that area.

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

Purchasing Power Supporting 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 use fresh seasonal produce whenever possible. Our environmentally friendly purchasing policy also ensures that no excess packaging or materials are used and that the recycled content is at a premium.

Superior Air Quality Unlike many buildings where re-circulated air can contribute to drowsiness or health concerns, our expansion provides

48


2012 ENERGY MATTERS SUMMIT WWW.ENERGYMATTERSSUMMIT.CA

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

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

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

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

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

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

IN ADDITION The 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 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 • Making post-presentation materials available online (instead of printing paper copies)
