3 Lambton Kent District School Board Conservation and Demand Management Plan Introduction The Conservation and Demand Management Plan (ECDMP) fulfill the requirements under the Green Act O. Reg. 397/11 to support the reduction of energy consumption and the five year Demand Management Plan covering the Boards fiscal years 2014 to 2018 at the Lambton Kent District school board (LKDSB). The Plan highlights past and future opportunities to further this commitment in energy conservation, energy reduction and green initiatives. The Green Act Ontario s Green Act 2009(GEA) was created to expand renewable energy generation, encourage energy conservation and promote the creation of clean energy jobs. The Government of Ontario is committed to fostering the growth of renewable energy projects, which use cleaner sources of energy, and to removing barriers to and promoting opportunities for renewable energy projects and to promoting a green economy. The Government of Ontario is committed to ensuring that the Government of Ontario and the broader public sector, including government-funded institutions, conserve energy and use energy efficiently in conducting their affairs. Ontario s Long Term Plan On December 2, 2013, Ontario released its updated Long-Term Plan, Achieving Balance, which has adopted a policy of Conservation First, focusing on rate mitigation over major investments in generation or transmission to curb costs for ratepayers. This will mean pursuing lower-cost options to meet energy needs when and where we need it. The Long-Term Plan will be flexible; Ontario will plan for a lower demand scenario, with the ability to adjust to potential demand changes. For that reason, an annual Ontario Report will be issued to provide an outline of how supply and demand are tracking and also to review progress in implementing the Long-Term Plan. Bob Chiarelli Minister of December 2013 (extracted from Ministry of website) 3

4 Broader Public Sector (BPS)- Conservation and Demand Management Plans (CDM) Under the Green Act, Ontario Regulation 397/11, Conservation and Demand Management Plans, defines the requirements for all Broader Public Sector (BPS) organizations, including hospitals, municipalities, universities, colleges, school boards and municipal service boards (for water and sewage treatment and pumping operations), to: a) Report on annual energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in designated buildings/facilities by July 1, b) Develop and implement 5-year energy conservation and demand management plans (CDM) plans by July 1, 2014.The regulation also requires that the document be made public and posted on the Board s Website. Education Sector Background Funding and Management Planning All Boards receive 100% of their funding from the Ministry of Education. The Ministry announces each Board s funding allocation in March for the next Fiscal Year which runs from September 1st to August 31st. The Ministry does not provide Boards with multi-year funding allocations. As a result, while a Board may have a five-year energy management strategy, the Board s ability to implement their strategy is dependent on the funding that they receive in each of the five years covered by their energy management plan. Asset Portfolios and Management Planning consumption at a site can be impacted by a number of variables. The following lists provide education sector examples that may impact changes in consumption at a site from one year to the next. These examples will play a significant role in the Board s assessment of energy management priorities. Facility Variables Year of Construction Building Area Major additions Sites sold Portables Installed Removed Site Use Elementary school Secondary school Administrative building Maintenance/warehouse facility Shared Use Sites (e.g. one building, two boards share common areas and/or partnered with a municipality) Swimming pools Libraries Lighted sports fields Enclosed sports domes 4

The Lambton Kent District School Board provides educational services to more than 22,000 students. ( ) In , the Board operated 53 elementary, 13 secondary schools, 2 education centres and 2 Maintenance Shops totalling approximately 3,714,225 square feet.(including portables) Management Strategic Plan Environmental Values Policy P-PR It is the policy of the Lambton Kent District School Board that the school system will teach, promote, support and demonstrate environmentally sound practices. Environmental Values Regulation R-PR The Board will adopt and practise environmentally friendly management practices throughout the school system. All departments will develop and implement strategies which will be environmentally friendly and cost efficient. 2. Curricular resources to support environmental awareness and environmental studies will be provided, as required, in such areas as: a. energy conservation; b. waste management; c. protection of the biosphere; d. outdoor education. 3. Students, at all grade levels will be regularly introduced to environmental values through appropriate. 4. Schools will be encouraged to make environmental awareness a significant component of the culture of the school through such activities as: (a) reducing, reusing and recycling; (b) outdoor experiences; 5

6 (c) special days and clubs; (d) grounds management and beautification. 5. The Board and individual schools and classes should endeavour to work with community groups and others to promote environmental awareness and to foster appropriate practices. The Board endeavours and continues to reduce energy consumption and as a result of these efforts, a reduction in green- house gases. The Board focuses on: Pursuing of grants/rebates and energy incentives from public agencies and Utilities procurement units at the lowest cost through energy consortia efficient designs in new Schools, additions, renovations and administrative buildings To date the Board s energy management initiatives were funded by grants made available through Good Places to Learn, Capital, Renewal, Efficient Grants as well as incentives from utility companies and their associated rebates, included the following: Installation and densification of Building Automation Systems (BAS) Lighting retro-fits for florescent lighting from T12 to T8/T5/ LED Conversion of incandescent lighting to florescent or LED Conversion of exit lighting from incandescent to LED Occupancy Sensors for lighting & HVAC Control Retrofitting of boilers to hi-efficiency boilers (condensing or near condensing), hot water tanks, heat pumps Variable speed drives on motors for pumps and fans Increasing thermal insulation at the time of roof replacements Weather-stripping Replacing windows from single glazing to thermo-pane 3rd party energy audits Currently the Board has a new and Environmental Officer (shared position) who is responsible for the monitoring as well as reporting on Consumption and the Demand Management Plan. This position was created with a unique partnership agreement known as the Chatham-Kent Lambton Administrative School Services (CLASS) between the Lambton Kent District School Board and the St. Clair Catholic District School Board. Consumption Data for the Board Electrical energy to the Boards properties is supplied by Hydro One Inc., Entegrus and Bluewater Power Distribution Corporation. Natural gas is supplied by Union Gas Limited. The values below are metered data for the Board. 6
