4 CEEA 2014 Survey: Canadian Business Attitudes on Energy Efficiency Key Findings: Most companies are concerned about energy costs and have made upfront investments in order to become energy efficient. But there is much more to do: less than half have set targets for reductions in energy consumption and most admit they are not doing all they could do to be more energy efficient.

5 If you can t measure it, you can t manage it.

6 Building Energy Benchmarking Status Update Canada Green Buildings Conference June 3, 2014 Philip B. Jago, Director Buildings Division

7 We are the Buildings Division, Office of Energy Efficiency The Buildings Division EXISTING plays a role FEDERAL in the BUILDINGS BUILDINGS following areas. NEW BUILDINGS NECB Update NECB Commissioning Vision: Helping Canada s buildings sector to become a world leader in energy performance Canadian Adaptation of ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Recommissioning FBI Technical resources and assistance CAPACITY BUILDING AND ENABLING TOOLS Training - Dollars to $ense Workshops Tools Information Retrofit Guidelines

8 Strategic Approach to Energy Management Source : EPA ENERGY STAR

9 Benchmarking is Key to a Successful Energy Program Contribute to more responsible management through more informed decision-making Heighten awareness of energy use Identify billing errors Assess effectiveness of current operations, policies, practices, staff training Set priorities for upgrades and retrofits Document environmental stewardship and demonstrate success Source : EPA ENERGY STAR

10 System Components ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Canadian reference database Commercial and Institutional Energy data. A national Survey of energy consumption was conducted by Statistics Canada in Program database Capacity to Store historical information and ratings on individual buildings. On-line rating/ monitoring and tracking tool Portfolio Manager provides a portal for Canadian building owners and operators with metric measures and baselines that reflect Canadian building data. Web service to support data exchange With the collaboration of Energy Service Providers (ESPs) and utilities.

14 Buildings by Type

15 Technical Update - Energy Star score for Canadian Buildings - Score for Hospital was released earlier this month - Food retail (grocery stores, supermarkets) is in the final stages of analysis - Non-food retail is posing challenges ongoing work - Initiating work on Warehouses - Portfolio Manager - Share forward - Transferring property ownership - Data quality checker enhancements - Additional upload templates space use details 15

16 We continue to move forward Early developmental stages of the next building survey Will cover consumption year 2014 Similar in scope to SCIEU 2009 Initial contacts from Statistics Canada in late summer used to define the survey sample Survey will happen early 2015 Combination of mail, telephone and interviews 16

28 Are We There Yet? If all buildings reach ENERGY STAR 85, 19.2% additional energy savings will be achieved compared with 2012

29 Policy & Mandatory Energy Reporting

30 Global Building Energy Labeling

31 Now implemented by 34 EU nations Introduced 2002 EU Building Energy Certificate Public disclosure of Energy Performance Certificates for all buildings built, sold or leased Extended 2010 Energy performance disclosure in all sales and rental advertising
