A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The baseline year of 2007 was selected since this is the same baseline adopted in EMP 2.0; the College's leading document for environmental management.
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
Building Automation Systems, that control the
mechanical, electrical and lighting systems based on established occupancy levels, are located in both the DBARC and the H-wing.
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
The college is equipped with several outdoor solar and wind powered LED lights.
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
Rooms in both the H-wing and Rec Centre are equiped with light sensors in order to reduce their energy consumption.
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
The Campus physical plant manages the energy consumption for the entire main campus. From the physical plant consumption for each building on main campus can be tracked and controlled.
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
