Hard Energy Target
None
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :
Sheridan has set a hard energy target that exceeds LEED Gold standards (e.g. 45% below Canadian code 1997 or ASHRAE 90.1 2007). We passed a revised Sustainability Policy and new Policy Procedures on September 9, 2014, which states:
Energy performance of new or substantially-renovated buildings will exceed LEED Gold, aligning instead with German A-Rated levels, which are considered systematic best practice for academic building performance.
Any RFP should specify energy end-use to meet a 12-month average, specific end-use energy performance index (in typical operation for a typical year) between 70 ekWh/m2 - 100 ekWh/m2.
This hard energy target includes both electricity and heating fuel (natural gas), making it an aggressive goal.
