DESCRIPTION
Are you charged with reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gases on your campus? View this webinar to learn how two top universities are meeting this challenge by reducing building energy use. This webinar featured Jerome Conraud, McGill's Energy Manager, Utilities & Energy Management, and John Metras, University of British Columbia's Managing Director of Infrastructure Development and their presentation of: * UBC's ECOTrek project and the keys to its success in reducing energy consumption across the campus by 23% * McGill's plans for reducing campus energy use by 12% * The role of building energy management software in communicating energy conservation to internal and external stakeholders

The University of British Columbia
UBC Ecotrek Program
• Canada’s largest university
energy/water retrofit project
• $35M in energy and water retrofits
to 288 buildings
• Interior and exterior lighting
upgrades
• HVAC and BMS system upgrades
• Steam system refurbishment and
upgrades
• Energy management training for
ops staff
Ecotrek Objectives
• Reduce energy and water costs
• Minimize environmental impacts
• Reduce deferred maintenance backlog
• Improve building occupant comfort
Implementation Strategy
• Partnered with BC Hydro and internal stakeholders
• Negotiated performance contract including energy usage
baselines
• Started with small lighting retrofit to prove concept
Implementation Strategy, Continued
• Employed rigorous project controls and internal
coordination
• Created program name and logo
• Promoted successes to make partners look good
Ecotrek Results & Benefits
Compared to 2000 levels, in 2007/2008 Ecotrek had
achieved:
• 23% reduction of energy consumption per m2
• 35% reduction of water consumption per m2
• 23% reduction of GHG emissions per m2
• 86% reduction in NOx emissions
• $15-20M reduction in deferred maintenance
• Improved indoor air quality
• Enhanced reputation for leadership in sustainability
Energy Management
• Technical training for operations staff (EcoTrek)
• Energy dashboard pilot programs (Pulse Energy)
– Phase 1: Dashboard for building users
– Phase 2: EM software for operations staff
Energy Management, Continued
• Energy management policy
• Continuous optimization program (BC Hydro)
– Pilot program to audit, retrofit and monitor campus buildings
Future Plans
• Smart Energy System Project
– Biomass and alternative energy
– District energy system - steam to hot water conversion
– Continuous optimization
• Goal to reduce carbon emissions by 33% by 2015, 67% by
2020 and 100% by 2050
• Reduce or avoid carbon tax and emission off-set costs
($3.3M/year)
Biomass Demonstration
UBC Bioenergy Research and Demonstration Project
Building: Four story CLT building
Gross Power: 1.95 MWe for export
Net Thermal: 8000 lbs/hr for district heating
CO2 Red: 4,000 tpy of GHG reduction
Steam to Hot Water Conversion
• Replaces aging steam heating system with hot water
district energy system.
• Reduces energy demand and GHG emissions by 24%
• Capital cost: $84.8M
• Implementation to be phased over 5 years
• Generates ~$4.0M in average annual operational &
energy costs savings
Continuous Optimization
• The UBC Continuous Optimization Program is targeting a
10% reduction in energy consumption and GHG emissions
by 2015
• Optimization (audits and re-commissioning), Monitoring,
Targeting and Reporting, Sustainable Behaviors.
• Measurement & verification of results with Pulse Energy’s
software
