EMISSION REDUCTION PROJECT DESCRIPTION 4.1 Site Description In general, all the facilities in this submission are retail sales facilities of varied design and square footage. See attached documentation for greater individual detail. 4.2 Pre-Project Conditions In general, the retail facilities operate from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Saturday, and 12 noon 5:00 pm Sundays. Store hours vary throughout the December holiday schedule and are closed for statutory holidays. The pre-project baseline period was defined as the following: in the majority of site, 24 months prior to January1, 2001 was used to establish facility baselines. In cases where the full 24-month period was inadequate, 12 months prior to January 1, 2001 was used for the baseline. 4.3 The Standard Method The Standard Method used to calculate these emission reductions is the Standard Method for Conservation section (Option C) whole Building of the 2001 version of the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) Volume 1, pursuant to Section 12 of the Ontario Regulation 397/01 for NO displacement, and Section 15 of the Ontario Regulation 397/01 for SO 2 displacement. Format and procedures follow Sections 9.3 Schedule 1: Conservation and Renewable Project Measurement Periods and Section 9.4 Schedule 2: NO and SO 2 Displacement Co-Efficients. In addition the following method was used: A rolling average analysis was performed on each site to ensure and demonstrate that consistent sustained savings are occurring at each facility. In the rolling average analysis, the daily consumption is quantified for each billing period. Utilizing a full year of electricity consumption data, an average daily consumption is calculated for the entire year. The annual period is rolled to the next month whereby the following month is included in the analysis, however the first month is left out. This allows a daily consumption rolling average to be calculated. This calculation is performed until the end of the study period for each facility. Whereas the monthly billed consumption will vary, the rolling average consumption will highlight the trends of the previous twelve months. Upon completion of this analysis, general consumption trends (increasing/decreasing) can be easily illustrated. If a savings measure Protocol Application Page 4

7 was implemented in January 2001, the overall rolling average will decline illustrating the savings impact. See sample calculation and method - Section Actions Taken Actions at identified facilities consisted of lighting retrofits, building automation systems, and HVAC upgrades, and a formal energy awareness program. 4.5 Post Project Conditions The individual facility upgrade and retrofit work had a demonstrated effect of a reduction in electrical consumption as calculated by the methods stated in section 1.3. This is expected to result in an annual kwh consumption reduction of approximately 16.4 million kwh. Additional electrical savings measures will be implemented in the future. 5. VALIDITY OF EMISSION REDUCTIONS 5.1 Real The emission reductions resulting from these projects are real due to the reduction in electricity consumption at each facility from reduced electricity loads, with no decrease in normal business activity at these facilities. Some facilities may experience leakage where the electricity reductions are due solely to reduced lighting loads and increased natural gas consumption for heating may result in increased NO emissions. However, the magnitude of these emissions will be very small and may be offset by facilities with Novar systems (automated environmental control) that have evening set-back temperatures which minimize any potential increase in natural gas consumption. For assumption evidence, see Appendix A - Leakage Calculation Scenario. 5.2 Surplus There are no applicable regulations, permits, agreements or control orders governing the operations of these facilities, which require reductions in electricity consumption. These Hbc facilities have reported under O.Reg. 127, but Ontario Regulation 346 Guideline A-9 does not apply to any of these facilities because there is no facility with a boiler capacity in excess of 10 Mbtu s. These reductions are solely a result of the proponents internal commitments to reduce electricity consumption and would not have happened without this commitment. 5.3 Quantifiable All reductions are calculated in accordance with the Ontario Emissions Trading Code based on Schedule 1 for measurement periods and Schedule 2 for NO and SO 2 displacement coefficients. 5.4 Unique These emission reductions have not been used to meet any quotas or in any other emissions trading regime. Protocol Application Page 5

8 5.5 Verifiable The data is based upon utility company consumption information, temperature data from the nearest Environment Canada weather station, expected energy savings data for each project from contractor project specifications. The calculations can be verified by following the methodology outlined in section QUANTIFICATION OF EMISSION REDUCTIONS 6.1 Process Description See Section Data Collection The data contained in this report is taken from utility bills associated with individual accounts at each facility. Weather data comes from the Weather Network (who receive data from Environment Canada weather stations) daily for more than 200 weather stations across Canada. Data supplied is the minimum temperature, maximum temperature and mean temperature for each site. Each facility is linked to the closest weather station. Facility consumption information and corresponding weather data is loaded into METRIX (a commercially available software package that is used to quantify and monitor energy). On a site-by-site basis the program allows the input of a balance point temperature for heating and cooling. HDD and CDD are then calculated based upon specified balance point temperatures and average daily temperatures. 6.3 Baseline Determination The overall baseline for the savings analysis was taken as the 24-month period from the beginning of 1999 to the end of Actual dates vary from facility to facility due to different billing dates. Where anomalies existed or data was unavailable, the 12 months closest to the savings period was used. A rolling average analysis was performed on each site to ensure and demonstrate that consistent sustained savings are occurring at each facility. In the rolling average analysis, the daily consumption is quantified for each billing period. Utilizing a full year of electricity consumption data, an average daily consumption is calculated for the entire year. The annual period is rolled to the next month whereby the following month is included in the analysis, however the first month is left out; this allows a daily consumption rolling average to be calculated. This calculation is performed until the end of the study period for each facility. Whereas the monthly billed consumption will vary, the rolling average consumption will highlight the trends of the previous twelve months. Upon completion of this analysis, general consumption trends (increasing/decreasing) can be easily illustrated. If a savings measure was implemented in January 2001, the overall rolling average will decline illustrating the savings impact. See sample calculation and method Section Bias Discussion As part of the Standard Method, to demonstrate that the selection of the parameters constituting the baseline model do not have a built in bias, the tuning analysis found in the addendum shows the baseline utility information, the model parameters and the result of substituting the baseline data into the model. Protocol Application Page 6

9 6.5 Emission Reduction Calculations The calculation method is IPMVP Whole Building method section (Option C) of the 2001 Version. The emission reduction was determined by: ER = (Adjusted Baseline Consumption Current Consumption) x Emission Factor It was assumed that 50% of the emission reductions were realized during the day and 50% realized at night. 7. REPORTING OF EMISSION REDUCTIONS Example of Emission Reduction Calculation: The process applied to identify and quantify the energy savings utilize: a. Annual Rolling Average Analysis b. Tuning Selection and Verification c. Savings Analysis and Emissions Reduction Calculations Combining the three steps helps to ensure that a trend of savings within the buildings is occurring. An accurate model is used to estimate the energy use during the base period (factoring in weather correlations), and the savings are accurately calculated. a. Annual Rolling Average Analysis The following figure displays the rolling average (RA) graph for Site 265. The RA graph utilizes the utility information by 1) normalizing the monthly consumption to a daily consumption and 2) averaging the prior annual consumption. The normalized monthly consumption is graphed with a dashed line, and the annual RA consumption is graphed with a bold line. While the normalized monthly consumption fluctuates month to month, the RA plot provides the general energy use trend within the building. Visually it can be seen that the building was using approximately 5270 kwh/day by the end of the baseline period (December 2000). Marginal savings occurred until July 2001, in which the building was using 5125 kwh/day. With the substantial completion of the measures implemented, the overall electrical use dropped steadily within the building. By the end of December 2002, the building was using only 2700 kwh/day. The Rolling Average analysis provides a quick visual overview of the electrical use trends within the building. The Graphs for each meter is provide in Appendix B. Protocol Application Page 7

Tuning Selection and Verification For this site the data for 24 months prior to the savings period was utilized. The data used is provided on the following table. The utility bills covering 30Dec98 to 30Nov00 were used to set the parameters of the regression model. Utilizing the weather data for Sudbury, the Cooling Degree Day (CDD) Balance Temperature (BT) was found to establish a good fit at a balance temperature 8 degree C. The correlation of the monthly consumption and weather factors were found as follows: Monthly Baseline Consumption = 4, kwh/day x Billed Days kwh/cdd x Monthly CDD The statistical fit for this selection established has a fit of R2 = (1.0 = perfect fit). By utilizing the above selected model with the baseline Billed Days and Monthly CDD, the Baseline was recalculated. For this site, it is seen that the difference between the calculated baseline for the two years ( kwh) and the billed consumption ( kwh) is 1896 kwh. This represents a difference of %, which illustrates that the selected baseline parameters determines the Baseline consumption with minimal error and with no built-in Bias. The tuning selection and verification are provided in the Tuning Analysis Report, as follows. Tuning Reports for each meter is provided in Appendix C. Protocol Application Page 8

16 8. FINAL SECTIONS 8.1 Documents Examined Utility bills provided for all years were examined to ensure database integrity. The 2001 version of the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP), Volume 1 (DOE/GO ) was examined. Facility project information was provided by contractors responsible for the various installations. Weather data comes from the Weather Network (who receive data from Environment Canada weather stations) daily for more than 200 weather stations across Canada. Data supplied is the minimum temperature, maximum temperature and mean temperature for each site. Each facility is linked to the closest weather station. Facility consumption information and corresponding weather data is loaded into METRIX (a commercially available software package that is used to quantify and monitor energy). On a site-by-site basis the program allows the input of a balance point temperature for heating and cooling. HDD and CDD are then calculated based upon specified balance point temperatures and average daily temperatures. Mechanical Audit Forms provided by the proponent to identify applicability for O.Reg. 127, were also examined to identify applicability of O.Reg. 346, Guideline A-9 for determination of surplus. 8.2 Warranties This Protocol Report was prepared on behalf of Hudson s Bay Company by: Peter Clarke, B.Sc.
