Executive Summary The purpose of this Energy Conservation and Demand Management (ECDM) Plan from Conestoga College is to
outline specific actions and measures that will promote good stewardship of our environment and community
resources in the years to come. The Plan will accomplish this, in part, by looking at future projections of energy
consumption and reviewing past conservation measures.
In keeping with Conestoga College’s core values of efficiency, concern for the environment and financial
responsibility, this ECDM outlines how the college will reduce overall energy consumption, operating costs and
greenhouse gas emissions. By following the measures outlined in this document, we will be able to provide
compassionate service to more people in the community. This ECDM Plan is written in accordance with sections
4, 5, and 6 of the recently amended Electricity Act, 1998, O. Reg. 507/18.
Through past conservation and demand initiatives, Conestoga College has achieved the following results:
• 21,565 kwh reduction in electricity use
• 777,426 m3 reduction in natural gas use
• 9% reduction in the College’s total energy intensity since 2014
Today, utility and energy related costs are a significant part of overall operating costs. In 2018:
• Energy Use Index (EUI) was 18 ekWh/ft2
• Energy-related emissions equaled 3,960 tCO2e
To obtain full value from energy management activities, Conestoga College will take a strategic approach to fully
integrate energy management into its business decision-making, policies and operating procedures. This active
management of energy-related costs and risks will provide a significant economic return and will support other
key organizational objectives.
With this prominent focus on energy management, Conestoga College can expect to achieve the following
targets by 2024:
• 41% reduction in annual electricity consumption
• 42% reduction in annual natural gas consumption
• 1,667 tCO2e in annual carbon equivalent emissions

1. Introduction
Established in 1967, Conestoga now serves approximately 16,500 full-time students through campuses and
training centres in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Stratford, Ingersoll and Brantford. Continuing
education and apprenticeship programs attract more than 38,000 enrolments each year.
As the region’s only provider of polytechnic education, Conestoga plays an integral role in the success of our
community: 65 per cent of its graduates remain in the area after completing their education, contributing more
than $2.3 billion each year to the local economy.
Our comprehensive range of programming meets the needs of a variety of learners, providing multiple entry
points and established pathways to ensure that individuals across our community can access the education they
need for their chosen careers. Articulation agreements with colleges and universities around the world provide
our students with ready access to additional post-secondary opportunities.
Conestoga’s applied research activities support student learning and helps area businesses grow, innovate and
improve their productivity. Conestoga is tri-council approved, eligible for funding from NSERC, SSHRC and CIHR,
and the first college in Canada to host a CIHR Industrial Research Chair for Colleges. In 2015-16, approximately
1,500 students and 130 faculty and staff members were engaged in applied research projects.
Active community, industry and academic partnerships provide support for Conestoga students, programs and
facilities. Approximately 1,000 community and business leaders provide input and direction on programming
through advisory committees and consortia.
The purpose of Conestoga College’s Energy Conservation and Demand Management (ECDM) Plan is to promote
sustainable stewardship of our environment and community resources. In keeping with our core values of system
efficiency and financial responsibility, Conestoga College’s energy management program would aim to increase
energy conservation as outlined in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of the recently amended Electricity Act, 1998, O. Reg.
507/18. The results and the progress of the previous ECDM plan, and the projected impact of the new ECDM Plan
is presented in Figure 1 and Table 1 below.

2. Regulatory Update
O. Reg. 397/11: Conservation and Demand Management Plans was introduced in 2013, under which public
agencies were required to report on energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and develop
Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) the following year. Until recently, O. Reg. 397/11 was housed
under the Green Energy Act, 2009 (GEA).
On December 7, 2018, the Ontario government passed Bill 34, Green Energy Repeal Act, 2018. The Bill repealed
the GEA and all its underlying Regulations, including O. Reg. 397/11. However, it re-enacted various provisions of
the GEA under the Electricity Act, 1998.
Thus, the conservation and energy efficiency initiatives, namely CDM plans and broader public sector energy
reporting were re-introduced as amendments to the Electricity Act. The new regulation is now called O. Reg.
507/18: Broader Public Sector: Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plans (ECDM).
As of January 1, 2019, O. Reg. 397/11 was replaced by O. Reg. 507/18, and BPS reporting and ECDM plans are
under the Electricity Act, 1998 rather than the Green Energy Act, 2009.

3. About Conestoga College Conestoga College is committed to positively impacting people as well as the environment being a frontrunner in
sustainability. This ECDM Plan will act as a guideline to advance Conestoga College towards a greener, more
environmental and sustainable institution. Conestoga College ECDM Plan will engage awareness for all
stakeholders. Conestoga College has implemented various energy saving programs at Doon Campus and
Cambridge Campus, which consist of load shedding, demand response along with lighting controls. During the
past five years Conestoga College has been upgrading/installing building automation systems. Equipment being
replaced must comply with efficiency requirements.
3.1. Campus-Wide Historical Energy Intensity Energy Utilization Index is a measure of how much energy a facility uses per square foot. Breaking down a facility’s
energy consumption on a per-square-foot-basis allows facilities of different sizes to be compared with ease. In
this case, we are comparing our facility to the industry average for Ontario colleges, derived from Natural
Resources Canada’s Commercial and Institutional Consumption of Energy Survey – which was found to be 27.63

3.2. Campus-Wide Historical GHG Emissions
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are expressed in terms of equivalent tonnes of Carbon Dioxide (tCO2e). The GHG
emissions associated with a facility are dependent on the fuel source – hydroelectricity produces fewer
greenhouse gases than coal-fired plants, or light fuel oil produces fewer GHGs than heavy oil.
Electricity from the grid in Ontario is relatively ‘clean’ as the majority is derived from low-GHG hydroelectricity,
and coal-fired plants have been phased out. Scope 1 (natural gas) and Scope 2 (electricity) consumptions have
been converted to their equivalent tons of greenhouse gas emissions in the table below. Scope 1 representing the
direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the institution, and Scope 2 being the indirect emissions
from the consumption of purchased energy generated upstream from the institution.
The sitewide GHG emissions have remained consistent over the past period despite growth of Conestoga’s
operations. This trend in GHG emissions from 2013 to 2018, as shown in Table 3, is in large part a result of the
increased energy efficiency measures and retrofits the larger campuses have undertaken in accordance with the
College’s sustainability initiatives, and a strong desire to drive emissions towards zero in the next 30 years.

4. Sustainability Initiatives
4.1. Energy Conservation Efforts To-Date
4.1.1. Cambridge Campus Solar and Geothermal A newly constructed (2019) 250-ton geothermal heating and cooling system and a ground-mounted 500kW solar
photovoltaic (PV) system installed at Cambridge Campus will reduce 390 mTCO2 per year, with an estimated
electrical savings of 750,000 kWh. This is equivalent to removing nearly 100 cars off the road per annum.
The Solar PV system will offset 100% of the annual load of the geothermal system and provide additional
renewable electricity for usage at the campus via Net Metering.
4.1.2. LEED Accredited Buildings Built in 2011, Conestoga’s Cambridge campus was designed and constructed to achieve Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) Silver accreditation. LEED is an internationally recognized green building
certification. Cambridge Campus is a 260,000 Square foot facility that has a passive energy design to promote
sustainable energy management.
Interior and exterior windows provide natural light which reduces energy consumption and has a positive effect
on personal comfort and academic performance. The building exceeds the regulated accessibility standards to
better meet the needs of students, staff and visitors.
4.1.3. Waterloo Campus Expansion The new Waterloo Campus Expansion implements numerous energy efficiency projects as part of Conestoga
College’s ongoing efforts to reduce its environmental impact. A 150-kW solar PV system is being installed to help
reduce peak electrical demand and provide renewable electricity for campus consumption. 100% of the electricity
generated will be used to offset annual electricity consumption in the building, reducing the annual electricity
consumption by approximately 180,000 kWh.
4.1.4. Ice Storage The 1245 ton-hour ice thermal energy storage system that will be installed is another strategy which will
significantly reduce the peak electrical demand, particularly during the summer cooling season, by offsetting
chiller operation. Instead of operating during the peak hours of the day, the chiller will run at night to produce ice.
This ice will be used during the day to produce chilled water, which will be circulated throughout the building to
provide air conditioning. This strategy shifts the operation of the chillers from daytime peak hours to nighttime
and smooths out the facility’s electrical load profile.
2019 Energy Conservation & Demand Management

4.1.5. Low Temperature Heating Systems A low temperature heating system will be installed in the new expansion. This system supplies hot water to the
building between 95 – 130F as opposed to a traditional heating system which supplies hot water at 180 – 200F.
Operating this way means that high efficiency condensing boilers can be used rather than traditional boilers,
resulting in a minimum 25% increase in overall boiler plant efficiency.
4.1.6. Demand Controlled Lighting and Ventilation A demand-controlled lighting and ventilation system relies on occupancy sensors which detect periods when
spaces are unoccupied. This allows both the lighting and ventilation in spaces to be reduced or shut off completely
depending on the occupancy levels. This technology is especially useful in the case of classrooms and labs as there
are many periods where these spaces will have low/no occupancy. It is expected that annual electricity
consumption from lighting and ventilation can be reduced by up to 25% and 30%, respectively.
4.2. Environmental Conservation Efforts
4.2.1. Landscape Architecture The Cambridge campus has an innovative system that improves the quality of water discharge. The campus
discharges water to Blair Creek, one of the last cold-water fisheries in Kitchener. By constructing a process
comprised of bio-swales, infiltration galleries, detention ponds, oil-grit separators and a cooling trench, it ensures
there no impact on the receiving system. These measures allow for the enhancement of ground water quality
while preserving the natural floodplain hydrologic functions.
4.2.2. Biodiversity At the heart of the Doon campus complex is a naturally developed forest that contains an abundance of species
including eastern hemlocks, red maples and green ash. At the back of the complex is a large pond in a park-like
setting surrounded with deciduous trees and draught tolerant perennial gardens that require no watering system.
The Walter Bean Grand River Trail weaves through the south area of the campus, providing opportunities for
education and recreation activities for students, community members and visitors. The protection and
improvement of these green spaces is integral to providing a healthy learning environment.
4.2.3. Waste Diversion and Management Conestoga is committed to taking action on responsible management of waste. Reducing, reusing and recycling
brings us closer to reaching our sustainability goals to reduce the negative impacts on the environment. As the
college continues to grow, so does its waste footprint. But with diligent effort by all we can reduce our individual
contribution.
Conestoga has a legislated goal to achieve and maintain at least a 60 per cent waste diversion rate.

Cambridge Campus has a LEED Silver designation and is equipped with 14 Mixed Air Handing Units with hydronic
heating and cooling systems. The Shop areas have 9 Makeup Air Units drawing from a geothermal ground-source
heat pump for heating. Hydronic heating is also supplied by the Geothermal heat pump and backed by four (4)
Cleaver Brooks clear-fired condensing boilers, each with a capacity of 1.2 MBTU. The cooling hydronic system is
comprised of one (1) Mcquay Magnetic Bearings Centrifugal Compressor, and one (1) ArctiChill heat pump which
sinks excess heat into the geothermal field during heating season. The two units consist of a combined capacity
of 530 tons. The Building Automation System installed is Siemens Apogee, while JCI controls the new ArctiChill
heat pump. 500kW AC Solar groundmount PV system commissioned in March 2019. The 250-ton geothermal
heating and cooling system and the 500kW PV Solar Photovoltaic panels being installed at the Cambridge Campus
will reduce 390 mTCO2 per year, this will be equivalent to removing approximately 98 cars from the road. With
an estimated Electrical savings of 750,000 kWh. The Solar PV system will offset 100% of the annual load of the
geothermal system and provide additional renewable electricity for usage at the campus via Net Metering.
