A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
---
None
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
In all buildings direct digital control for night setback on central systems as well as weekend / holiday scheduled setbacks.
None
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
The Biological Sciences Technology program retrofitted the lighting systems in their simulated greenhouses by replacing sodium-vapor lamps with LED lighting systems. The LED systems are more energy efficient, have less of an effect on greenhouse humidity, and can easily change colour for experimentation purposes.
M parkade is also 100% LED.
None
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
HP center, all classrooms and common areas use occupancy sensors for lighting control. Lighting is scheduled on and off via lighting control panels, this generally applies to public areas and exterior lights only.
None
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
BASnet network of building automation controls generally control and track all central systems.
None
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
Through the campus “major maintenance program” we have a planned major equipment / systems renewal program. Renewals typically include upgrades to more energy efficient products or systems. For example, last year we finished upgrading all campus lighting from T12 to T8/T5. The next round will include LED upgrades.
Ventilation systems have been upgraded from constant volume systems to variable volume systems in E, F, G, H, J, and T buildings over the last two years. This conversion has reduced campus fan power needs by over 30%.
None
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
Lighting upgrades (T12 to T8) also included addition of digital control systems for lighting (A wing just completed).
We have an ongoing initiative to upgrade washrooms with newer low flow fixtures (1 to 2 per year) and hands free operation.
We have upgraded air systems with better coils (lower pressure drop and widening temperature ranges to reduce both fan power as well as heating / cooling water demand).
