Part 1
This credit is based on energy inputs from offsite sources and electricity produced by onsite renewables. When the institution purchases one fuel and uses it to produce heat and/or power, you should enter only what is purchased. For example, if the institution purchases natural gas to fuel a CHP system and produce steam and electricity, only the purchased natural gas should be reported.
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 49,178.32 MMBtu | 48,077.32 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site renewables | 36 MMBtu | 35.83 MMBtu |
| District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) | 70,396 MMBtu | 60,490 MMBtu |
| Total | 119,610.32 MMBtu | 108,603.15 MMBtu |

Optional Fields

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency (e.g. outreach and education efforts):
"Power-down" initiatives before long weekends and Christmas break. Students living in residence are provided with information on how to save energy (e.g. unplug appliances, close curtains, switch off lights). Information about energy saving measures is also provided on website.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
The building automation system is utilized to regulate temperatures based upon occupancy schedule and close to 100% of college lighting utilizes occupancy sensors
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
In 2018 Fleming output $1.36MM spent in upgrades at Frost, Sutherland and Haliburton Campuses.
Peerless Mino LED - Direct Recessed 37-watt fixture delivering 93 lumens per watt and rated for 50,000 hours of use.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
The new Kawartha Trade and Technology Centre features passive solar heating. Taking into account the local climate (heating climate), the building features effective insulation, the orientation of windows to capture the sun for heating (south-facing walls), reduction of windows on the north-facing wall, window features aimed to keep the heat and strong summer sun out.
Fleming College's Frost campus has 66 geothermal wells that cover the heating/cooling needs of the Environmental Technology Wing.
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives (e.g. building re-commissioning or retrofit programs):
See attached GGRP list for mechanical upgrades. Approximately $6.6MM
The wall insulation in A-wing renovation was mineral wool, which is made from a non-toxic waste product of the metal smelting industry. Mineral wool has the unique quality of not holding moisture and not promoting mold development.
New low U value windows were installed throughout A-Wing
The ACM panels have a large component of recycled aluminum, which typically makes them eligible for a LEED credit
Additionally, the renovated areas of the building’s lighting were entirely converted to LED, which would reduce the electrical load of the lighting by anywhere between 70%-80%. There are additional savings in environmental waste created by the longevity of LEDs over traditional fluorescent bulbs, which works out to between 18-20 fluorescent bulbs to 1 LED over 25000 hours.
