Capilano University
• 14 buildings - 517,000 sq. ft.
• 4 buildings added to C-OP summer of 2010
• C-OP buildings range from 50,000 to 130,000 sq. ft.
• Baseline data is currently being collected
![Page 13: The Role of EMIS in BCHydro's Continuous Optimization Program and Beyond](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547b538ab4af9fb9158b4ec0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Energy Consumption on N. Van. Campus
• Electrical consumption for all 14 buildings monitored by Pulse
• Electrical (2009) consumption: 6,937,000 kWh
• Natural gas (2009) consumption: 39,700 GJ
• 10 buildings not in COP program have Pulse EMIS for energy awareness program

Why Pulse EMIS?
Available in the C-OP program
Engages students and employees in energy conservation on campus
Easy to use
![Page 15: The Role of EMIS in BCHydro's Continuous Optimization Program and Beyond](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547b538ab4af9fb9158b4ec0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why Pulse EMIS?
Accessibility
Very visual
People “get it”
Flexibility• Different layers of information
(users, operators, management)
![Page 16: The Role of EMIS in BCHydro's Continuous Optimization Program and Beyond](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547b538ab4af9fb9158b4ec0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Current Initiatives
• BC Hydro funded Workplace Conservation (WCA) Campaign
• Launched Pulse software as part of 2010 Green Week
• Collecting baseline data to run an energy conservation contest in November
![Page 17: The Role of EMIS in BCHydro's Continuous Optimization Program and Beyond](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547b538ab4af9fb9158b4ec0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• WCA: spread conservation message
• Reduce electrical consumption by 5% (approx $20,600 annually)
• Achieve community engagement of 20%
Goals
![Page 18: The Role of EMIS in BCHydro's Continuous Optimization Program and Beyond](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547b538ab4af9fb9158b4ec0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Dashboard appeal – students, employees and janitorial staff
• EMIS gives maintenance staff a new view of building consumption
• Visual reporting creates impact• Linked ‘waste’ to building occupant
behaviour• Using Pulse to engage people, create
awareness, and encourage conservation action
Results So Far

#1 How to get people to engage with the online dashboard
Solutions• One-on-one presentations
• Make it fun, give prizes, take suggestions
• Use software to show participants’ positive impact
Challenges in Occupant Engagement
![Page 20: The Role of EMIS in BCHydro's Continuous Optimization Program and Beyond](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547b538ab4af9fb9158b4ec0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
#2 Resources• Time/people to carry the
message
Solution• Link dashboard to other events
happening on campus
Challenges in Occupant Engagement (Cont’d)

Key Lessons Learned
![Page 22: The Role of EMIS in BCHydro's Continuous Optimization Program and Beyond](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547b538ab4af9fb9158b4ec0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Add more layers of information to the Dashboard to make it “the” go-to spot for sustainability on Campus
Adding links to our Campus website to provide additional information to users
More energy conservation contests planned
More fun!
