Tensions between DE and efficiency
What is the future of district energy systems if net-
zero buildings become an increasing share of the
building stock?
Should developers be allowed to reduce efficiency
if the heat supply is from a low-carbon source?
Could DE business cases still work if only
delivering domestic hot water? Still worth pipes in
the ground?
Thanks!

Toronto is Changing
Toronto’s population is growing &
densifying at one of the fastest
rates in North America, placing
demands on services &
infrastructure, energy systems &
the environment.
About 60% of households now live
in multi-residential housing.

THE NETWORK EFFECT
Environment and Energy Division
“For Cities to achieve a low-carbon futureDistrict Energy is to buildings, whatTransit is to transportation”
Modelling is showing that future Large Scale GHG emission reductions in Toronto may primarily come from two sets of strategies:
1. District Energy w/ Large Renewables + Efficient Buildings
2. Transit + EVs

Discussion
What is your local government looking at when in comes to reducing carbon in
buildings and what is the role of DE?
February 23rd, 2017
Proposal to Establish a Canadian District Energy Working Group
• The goal is to advance the next generation of district energy in Canada: positioning the DE industry for a changing energy system and low carbon economy
• A diverse set of organizations will be invited to form the DE working group, starting with interested IDEA Canadian Forum members and QUEST subscribers
• Objectives are to:1) Advocate for supportive policies and programs2) Enhance awareness and education Among policymakers at the federal, provincial and municipal levels and with building developers and operators
