3 CANADA Background MNECB reference level X % better than MNECB CSA Standard Not meeting Kyoto targets New federal government Cooling (kwe) dominated electricity Smart meters (Ontario) Demand responsive buildings 3

4 Energy Storage January 1983 Solar house heat with tank 2006 Solar DHW with tank Solar heat UTES Winter seasonal 1. Ice, snow, lake 2. ATES NRC GSHP improvements DLWC / Harbour Now standard practice GSHP common LEED Cdn UTES Standard Cold storage and RTP Urban progress 4

5 Canada Marine Discovery Centre Hamilton, Ontario First Canadian installation of energy piles 5

6 RCMP K Division HQ, Edmonton, Alberta Awarded BOMA 2004 International Building of the Year in 6the Government Buildings category, a first for PWGSC.

7 Kuujjuaq Airport, Northern Village, Nunavik, Northern Quebec The Kuujjuaq Airport is the community s only reliable year round means of transportation. The terminal has been 7 designed for LEED Silver.

8 Bedford Institute of Oceanography Harbour water cooling New Level II Biocontainment standards laboratory for ocean sciences research at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; Fisheries and Oceans Canada 8

9 RCMP Detachment, Keremeos BC Uses a ground source heat pump to significantly reduce the heating and cooling requirement and solar hot water system. 9

10 Rehabilitation of an Old Industrial Building With Geothermal Heat Pumps, Montreal (CADDET) The heat pumps with a geothermal system was cheaper and had greater potential for savings. The total investment of $375,000 for the system was $175,000 less than a conventional system with fan coil units, and $43,000 less than the water loop system. Taking the overall installation (HVAC system, centralised control, plumbing, electrical installation), a conventional system would have cost $607,000 compared to $395,000 for the geothermal system. 10
