There are few things as iconic as the red and white Campbellrsquos soup label
With a goal to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020 the company is aggressively going green
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economic sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy
Today the new CHP plant
bull supplies up to 93 of Campbellrsquos annual steam requirements
bull saves utility and food production costs
Uninterrupted power is another key benefi t The plant can operate off the grid and avoid costly downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to fi ve hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipmentrdquo
Toronto Hydro support and funding made the project viable with incentives that paid 40 of project costs The transition has also been smooth ldquoThe new system has lived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo says Galvin
Campbell has also embarked on other energy-effi ciency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting upgrade the introduction of sensors and an impressive employee engagement program

Working with a contractorLED lighting

Few things are as important to a successful lighting upgrade as working with a reputable contractor We asked Toronto Hydro Energy Expert Mike Mulqueen for tips on hiring the right fi rm for the job
Lessons from a pro
PUSH FOR TRANSPARENCY
Ask for an itemized estimate that includes the number of fi xtures and lamps where the equipment is being installed (stairwell hallways parking garage suites etc) as well as all pricing assumptions used for fi nancial calculations such as energy costs and a detailed payback analysis This makes it easier to compare multiple quotes
FOLLOW THE RULES
Beyond general liability insurance and WSIB coverage ensure that the contractor follows proper protocol to comply with Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) requirements and permit approvals
ASK FOR REFERENCES
If you only do one thing this is it A reputable contractor will connect you with past customers and projects If theyrsquore not forthcoming with their references or details on how long theyrsquove been in business this is a huge red fl ag
MEASURE LIGHTING LEVELS
We want you to save energy but not at the expense of safety Good contractors will measure before-and-after levels to ensure they adhere to municipal property standards and bylaws
CHOOSE QUALITY OVER PRICE POINT
With so many new LED suppliers entering the market quality can
be hard to discern To qualify for incentives be sure that lighting is ENERGY STARreg certifi ed or listed with the Design Lighting Consortium (DLC)
SEEING IS BELIEVING
Itrsquos a good idea to install samples to ensure that the lamps meet your expectations You should also verify the energy savings with on-site measurements
LEAN ON OUR ENERGY EXPERTS
Our team has a good understanding of the technologies and applications and we can support you through your project We can also help you apply for funding to offset upgrade costs
TUBE TEST FIND YOUR SWAP WITH OUR HOW-TO GUIDE
Swap save simple
LED TUBE LAMPS MAKE CUTTING COSTS AS EASY AS CHANGING A LIGHT BULBLED prices have dropped 58 in the past fi ve years and quality has improved so theyrsquore an attractive choice to replace old fl uorescents Today upgrading to LEDs can be as simple as a lamp-for-lamp switch ndash often no electrician is needed LEDs are more durable provide more uniform light and grad-ually dim instead of leaving you in the dark
Itrsquos important to verify with your supplier that your ballast is LED compatible (eg system wattage warranty) to determine if ballast re-placements are needed
daggerThe Illuminating Engineering Society currently recommends calculating the life of an LED as the point at which the LED reaches 30 lumen depreciation DaggerTypical average rated life when 50 of lamps have failed

You wouldnrsquot expect that an offi ce tower built some 20 years ago would rank among the most energy-effi cient buildings in Canada
At any given time Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place offi ce tower has at least fi ve energy-effi ciency projects underway ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt who relies
on regular team reviews of energy data to identify where the building consumes the most electricity
Itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt fi nds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary
ldquo It was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers their lifespan is longer and they need less maintenance which reduces costs
A ldquoquick winrdquo lighting project also had a big impact on load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced lamps from two to one in thousands of fi xtures This pragmatic cost-effective fi x cut lighting load in half ndash at little cost
Today Simcoe Place is saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 in annual cost savings Quite a big bang for their buck

Whole-building e ciency
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $014 per kWh
THE PROBLEMWhen Allied Properties REIT recently acquired a 12-storey commercial offi ce building analysis showed that the electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its size ndash particularly from electric baseboard heating
THE CHALLENGEReplacing the entire system would come in at a huge cost to Allied and would be extremely disruptive to tenants while the work was being completed
THE SOLUTIONAdding automated controls reduced the operating hours of the heaters Tenants control the temperature as usual but after hours the system automatically adjusts to use less electricity
THE OUTCOMEThis simple solution had signifi cant impact Tenants are comfortable and in control during the day After hours Allied cut costs in half

TOP QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CONTRACTOR
Can you provide an itemized estimate
How many fi xtures and lamps are being installed and where What are the pricing assumptions used for calculations
Can you install samples so we can see how it looks fi rst
Before you commit does the sample meet your expectations This is the time to verify light levels consider potential problems with glare and make sure the energy performance will meet the projected savings outlined in the estimate
Are the new lamps compatible with my existing ballasts
Has your contractor checked with the manufacturer to determine if they work together Do warranties still apply for that combination
Is it worth replacing the ballasts
The age of your ballasts affects lamp performance ndash ask for a performance analysis that includes with replacement and without
Will the new lamps work with my emergency backup system
The last thing you want is to be left in the dark
May I contact references from clients in the area
Ask clients whether the project came in on budget and whether they would work with the contractor again
Are the products in your estimate ENERGY STARreg certifi ed and eligible for incentives
If an estimate is low it may mean yoursquore getting a lower quality product
Not all LEDs are a perfect fi t with existing fi xtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Keep this list handy to be sure your upgrade meets your expectations

LEDs have Owens Corning tickled pink
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader John Evans Project Coordinator David Elfstrom Energy Expert
Case Study
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $010 per kWh
Lighting upgrades
Owens Corning develops and manufactures building materials ranging from insulation and fiberglass to roofing A Fortune 500reg company for over 61 years its signature PINKreg insulation is a go-to product for residential commercial and industrial customers
The company is a pioneer in product innovation ndash it invented fiberglass in 1933 The culture of innovation at Owens Corning extends beyond how it comes up with new products to also how its products are made Ambitious targets have teams continuously looking for opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint
Even though the Toronto facility completed a plant-wide lighting upgrade just two years ago due to rapid advances in LED tube lighting the business case to complete another upgrade was too compelling to turn down ldquoIt just made sense with the current incentives and potential energy savingsrdquo says Maintenance Leader Ari Delopoulos ldquoWe were able to justify the upgrade right awayrdquo
All of the high-bay metal halide lights were replaced with T8 fluorescents in the original retrofit two years ago The second upgrade involved replacing the 32W T8s with 165W LED tube lamps ndash an easy switch that has reduced lighting load by close to 50 in offices the plant and warehouse ldquoIt was essentially plug and playrdquo says Delopoulos of the installation ldquoThe LED lamps were compatible with our existing ballasts so there was no need to bring in electriciansrdquo

ldquo The new lighting is more balanced therersquos less flicker and it makes everything look nicerrdquo
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader
Expert help was invaluable Owens Corning worked closely with Toronto Hydrorsquos Energy Experts to plan the project and apply for incentives ldquoThey were very helpful in calculating our energy cost savings and taking us through our lighting optionsrdquo says Delopoulos Before proceeding with the installation they were also able to test the new lighting on site to be sure the LEDs were suitable for each location and met their expectations
New LED tubes rarely need replacing Longevity factored into the decision to upgrade to LED lighting which lasts far longer than the original T8s ldquoMany of our fixtures are located in areas that arenrsquot accessiblerdquo Delopoulos explains
ldquoNow itrsquos much easier to replace lamps and we donrsquot need as many resources to deal with it LEDs are also safer to handle as they donrsquot contain mercuryrdquo
Brighter light ndash inside and outDelopoulos has received positive feedback from warehouse and office staff about the colour output of the new lighting which to many compares to natural daylight ldquoItrsquos a huge difference aesthetically and everyone seems to like themrdquo he says ldquoWersquove installed dimmer switches in some offices to allow employees to adjust the lighting to their desired levelrdquo Since LEDs are ideal for outdoor use Owens Corning also upgraded exterior lighting and the employees now feel safer at night

Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview

Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards

Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs

Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases
Restaurants and entertainment facilities
The savings are immediate with ROI as fast as one year

There are few things as iconic as the red and white Campbellrsquos soup label
With a goal to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020 the company is aggressively going green
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economic sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy
Today the new CHP plant
bull supplies up to 93 of Campbellrsquos annual steam requirements
bull saves utility and food production costs
Uninterrupted power is another key benefi t The plant can operate off the grid and avoid costly downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to fi ve hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipmentrdquo
Toronto Hydro support and funding made the project viable with incentives that paid 40 of project costs The transition has also been smooth ldquoThe new system has lived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo says Galvin
Campbell has also embarked on other energy-effi ciency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting upgrade the introduction of sensors and an impressive employee engagement program

Working with a contractorLED lighting

Few things are as important to a successful lighting upgrade as working with a reputable contractor We asked Toronto Hydro Energy Expert Mike Mulqueen for tips on hiring the right fi rm for the job
Lessons from a pro
PUSH FOR TRANSPARENCY
Ask for an itemized estimate that includes the number of fi xtures and lamps where the equipment is being installed (stairwell hallways parking garage suites etc) as well as all pricing assumptions used for fi nancial calculations such as energy costs and a detailed payback analysis This makes it easier to compare multiple quotes
FOLLOW THE RULES
Beyond general liability insurance and WSIB coverage ensure that the contractor follows proper protocol to comply with Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) requirements and permit approvals
ASK FOR REFERENCES
If you only do one thing this is it A reputable contractor will connect you with past customers and projects If theyrsquore not forthcoming with their references or details on how long theyrsquove been in business this is a huge red fl ag
MEASURE LIGHTING LEVELS
We want you to save energy but not at the expense of safety Good contractors will measure before-and-after levels to ensure they adhere to municipal property standards and bylaws
CHOOSE QUALITY OVER PRICE POINT
With so many new LED suppliers entering the market quality can
be hard to discern To qualify for incentives be sure that lighting is ENERGY STARreg certifi ed or listed with the Design Lighting Consortium (DLC)
SEEING IS BELIEVING
Itrsquos a good idea to install samples to ensure that the lamps meet your expectations You should also verify the energy savings with on-site measurements
LEAN ON OUR ENERGY EXPERTS
Our team has a good understanding of the technologies and applications and we can support you through your project We can also help you apply for funding to offset upgrade costs
TUBE TEST FIND YOUR SWAP WITH OUR HOW-TO GUIDE
Swap save simple
LED TUBE LAMPS MAKE CUTTING COSTS AS EASY AS CHANGING A LIGHT BULBLED prices have dropped 58 in the past fi ve years and quality has improved so theyrsquore an attractive choice to replace old fl uorescents Today upgrading to LEDs can be as simple as a lamp-for-lamp switch ndash often no electrician is needed LEDs are more durable provide more uniform light and grad-ually dim instead of leaving you in the dark
Itrsquos important to verify with your supplier that your ballast is LED compatible (eg system wattage warranty) to determine if ballast re-placements are needed

You wouldnrsquot expect that an offi ce tower built some 20 years ago would rank among the most energy-effi cient buildings in Canada
At any given time Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place offi ce tower has at least fi ve energy-effi ciency projects underway ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt who relies
on regular team reviews of energy data to identify where the building consumes the most electricity
Itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt fi nds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary
ldquo It was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers their lifespan is longer and they need less maintenance which reduces costs
A ldquoquick winrdquo lighting project also had a big impact on load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced lamps from two to one in thousands of fi xtures This pragmatic cost-effective fi x cut lighting load in half ndash at little cost
Today Simcoe Place is saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 in annual cost savings Quite a big bang for their buck

Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $014 per kWh
THE PROBLEMWhen Allied Properties REIT recently acquired a 12-storey commercial offi ce building analysis showed that the electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its size ndash particularly from electric baseboard heating
THE CHALLENGEReplacing the entire system would come in at a huge cost to Allied and would be extremely disruptive to tenants while the work was being completed
THE SOLUTIONAdding automated controls reduced the operating hours of the heaters Tenants control the temperature as usual but after hours the system automatically adjusts to use less electricity
THE OUTCOMEThis simple solution had signifi cant impact Tenants are comfortable and in control during the day After hours Allied cut costs in half

TOP QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CONTRACTOR
Can you provide an itemized estimate
How many fi xtures and lamps are being installed and where What are the pricing assumptions used for calculations
Can you install samples so we can see how it looks fi rst
Before you commit does the sample meet your expectations This is the time to verify light levels consider potential problems with glare and make sure the energy performance will meet the projected savings outlined in the estimate
Are the new lamps compatible with my existing ballasts
Has your contractor checked with the manufacturer to determine if they work together Do warranties still apply for that combination
Is it worth replacing the ballasts
The age of your ballasts affects lamp performance ndash ask for a performance analysis that includes with replacement and without
Will the new lamps work with my emergency backup system
The last thing you want is to be left in the dark
May I contact references from clients in the area
Ask clients whether the project came in on budget and whether they would work with the contractor again
Are the products in your estimate ENERGY STARreg certifi ed and eligible for incentives
If an estimate is low it may mean yoursquore getting a lower quality product
Not all LEDs are a perfect fi t with existing fi xtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Keep this list handy to be sure your upgrade meets your expectations

Lighting upgrades
Owens Corning develops and manufactures building materials ranging from insulation and fiberglass to roofing A Fortune 500reg company for over 61 years its signature PINKreg insulation is a go-to product for residential commercial and industrial customers
The company is a pioneer in product innovation ndash it invented fiberglass in 1933 The culture of innovation at Owens Corning extends beyond how it comes up with new products to also how its products are made Ambitious targets have teams continuously looking for opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint
Even though the Toronto facility completed a plant-wide lighting upgrade just two years ago due to rapid advances in LED tube lighting the business case to complete another upgrade was too compelling to turn down ldquoIt just made sense with the current incentives and potential energy savingsrdquo says Maintenance Leader Ari Delopoulos ldquoWe were able to justify the upgrade right awayrdquo
All of the high-bay metal halide lights were replaced with T8 fluorescents in the original retrofit two years ago The second upgrade involved replacing the 32W T8s with 165W LED tube lamps ndash an easy switch that has reduced lighting load by close to 50 in offices the plant and warehouse ldquoIt was essentially plug and playrdquo says Delopoulos of the installation ldquoThe LED lamps were compatible with our existing ballasts so there was no need to bring in electriciansrdquo

ldquo The new lighting is more balanced therersquos less flicker and it makes everything look nicerrdquo
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader
Expert help was invaluable Owens Corning worked closely with Toronto Hydrorsquos Energy Experts to plan the project and apply for incentives ldquoThey were very helpful in calculating our energy cost savings and taking us through our lighting optionsrdquo says Delopoulos Before proceeding with the installation they were also able to test the new lighting on site to be sure the LEDs were suitable for each location and met their expectations
New LED tubes rarely need replacing Longevity factored into the decision to upgrade to LED lighting which lasts far longer than the original T8s ldquoMany of our fixtures are located in areas that arenrsquot accessiblerdquo Delopoulos explains
ldquoNow itrsquos much easier to replace lamps and we donrsquot need as many resources to deal with it LEDs are also safer to handle as they donrsquot contain mercuryrdquo
Brighter light ndash inside and outDelopoulos has received positive feedback from warehouse and office staff about the colour output of the new lighting which to many compares to natural daylight ldquoItrsquos a huge difference aesthetically and everyone seems to like themrdquo he says ldquoWersquove installed dimmer switches in some offices to allow employees to adjust the lighting to their desired levelrdquo Since LEDs are ideal for outdoor use Owens Corning also upgraded exterior lighting and the employees now feel safer at night

Lighting upgrades
Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview

Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Energy efficiency in parking garages
Drive down costs in the garage CASE STUDY
High pressure sodium and T12 lamps in the parking garages of the three Waterford towers were replaced with LED lighting This fast and easy upgrade resulted in more than $35000 in annual electricity savings
2 LEDsHigh-performance LEDs are extremely durable and have an average-rated life up to 50000 hoursdagger so they rarely need replacement In some cases the upgrade can be as simple as a lamp-for-lamp swap ndash no fixture replacements or electrician requiredDagger
Typically two-year paybacks
Quick straightforward upgrade
Pair with sensors for savings up to 70
Better visibility can also enhance safety for residents
Keeping your buildingrsquos garage in top condition can cost as much as $500 a year per parking stall Some of that money can easily be recouped through energy savings Get incentives up to 50 of project costs for simple retrofits to lighting controls and fans to maximize savings and reduce operating costs
1 CO SENSORSAdd CO sensors to garage exhaust fans so they run only when fresh air is needed With fans not running constantly garages are quieter and use far less electricity
Reduce electricity costs by up to 75
Payback as fast as two to three years
Quick installation minimal disruption
Based on $015kWh
dagger The Illuminating Engineering Society currently recommends calculating the life of an LED at the point at which the LED reaches 30 lumen depreciation
Dagger Itrsquos important to verify with your supplier that your ballast is LED compatible (eg system wattage warranty) to determine if ballast replacements are needed

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price

With the introduction of commercially-viable LED lamps and fixtures businesses can expectunprecedented savings in their electricity costs for lighting ndash up to 75
An LED for every need
Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases

There are few things as iconic as the red and white Campbellrsquos soup label
With a goal to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020 the company is aggressively going green
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economic sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy
Today the new CHP plant
bull supplies up to 93 of Campbellrsquos annual steam requirements
bull saves utility and food production costs
Uninterrupted power is another key benefi t The plant can operate off the grid and avoid costly downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to fi ve hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipmentrdquo
Toronto Hydro support and funding made the project viable with incentives that paid 40 of project costs The transition has also been smooth ldquoThe new system has lived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo says Galvin
Campbell has also embarked on other energy-effi ciency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting upgrade the introduction of sensors and an impressive employee engagement program

Working with a contractorLED lighting
5
Few things are as important to a successful lighting upgrade as working with a reputable contractor We asked Toronto Hydro Energy Expert Mike Mulqueen for tips on hiring the right fi rm for the job
Lessons from a pro
PUSH FOR TRANSPARENCY
Ask for an itemized estimate that includes the number of fi xtures and lamps where the equipment is being installed (stairwell hallways parking garage suites etc) as well as all pricing assumptions used for fi nancial calculations such as energy costs and a detailed payback analysis This makes it easier to compare multiple quotes
FOLLOW THE RULES
Beyond general liability insurance and WSIB coverage ensure that the contractor follows proper protocol to comply with Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) requirements and permit approvals
ASK FOR REFERENCES
If you only do one thing this is it A reputable contractor will connect you with past customers and projects If theyrsquore not forthcoming with their references or details on how long theyrsquove been in business this is a huge red fl ag
MEASURE LIGHTING LEVELS
We want you to save energy but not at the expense of safety Good contractors will measure before-and-after levels to ensure they adhere to municipal property standards and bylaws
CHOOSE QUALITY OVER PRICE POINT
With so many new LED suppliers entering the market quality can
be hard to discern To qualify for incentives be sure that lighting is ENERGY STARreg certifi ed or listed with the Design Lighting Consortium (DLC)
SEEING IS BELIEVING
Itrsquos a good idea to install samples to ensure that the lamps meet your expectations You should also verify the energy savings with on-site measurements
LEAN ON OUR ENERGY EXPERTS
Our team has a good understanding of the technologies and applications and we can support you through your project We can also help you apply for funding to offset upgrade costs
TUBE TEST FIND YOUR SWAP WITH OUR HOW-TO GUIDE
Swap save simple
LED TUBE LAMPS MAKE CUTTING COSTS AS EASY AS CHANGING A LIGHT BULBLED prices have dropped 58 in the past fi ve years and quality has improved so theyrsquore an attractive choice to replace old fl uorescents Today upgrading to LEDs can be as simple as a lamp-for-lamp switch ndash often no electrician is needed LEDs are more durable provide more uniform light and grad-ually dim instead of leaving you in the dark
Itrsquos important to verify with your supplier that your ballast is LED compatible (eg system wattage warranty) to determine if ballast re-placements are needed
daggerThe Illuminating Engineering Society currently recommends calculating the life of an LED as the point at which the LED reaches 30 lumen depreciation DaggerTypical average rated life when 50 of lamps have failed

Itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt fi nds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary
ldquo It was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers their lifespan is longer and they need less maintenance which reduces costs
A ldquoquick winrdquo lighting project also had a big impact on load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced lamps from two to one in thousands of fi xtures This pragmatic cost-effective fi x cut lighting load in half ndash at little cost
Today Simcoe Place is saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 in annual cost savings Quite a big bang for their buck

Whole-building e ciency
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $014 per kWh
THE PROBLEMWhen Allied Properties REIT recently acquired a 12-storey commercial offi ce building analysis showed that the electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its size ndash particularly from electric baseboard heating
THE CHALLENGEReplacing the entire system would come in at a huge cost to Allied and would be extremely disruptive to tenants while the work was being completed
THE SOLUTIONAdding automated controls reduced the operating hours of the heaters Tenants control the temperature as usual but after hours the system automatically adjusts to use less electricity
THE OUTCOMEThis simple solution had signifi cant impact Tenants are comfortable and in control during the day After hours Allied cut costs in half

TOP QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CONTRACTOR
Can you provide an itemized estimate
How many fi xtures and lamps are being installed and where What are the pricing assumptions used for calculations
Can you install samples so we can see how it looks fi rst
Before you commit does the sample meet your expectations This is the time to verify light levels consider potential problems with glare and make sure the energy performance will meet the projected savings outlined in the estimate
Are the new lamps compatible with my existing ballasts
Has your contractor checked with the manufacturer to determine if they work together Do warranties still apply for that combination
Is it worth replacing the ballasts
The age of your ballasts affects lamp performance ndash ask for a performance analysis that includes with replacement and without
Will the new lamps work with my emergency backup system
The last thing you want is to be left in the dark
May I contact references from clients in the area
Ask clients whether the project came in on budget and whether they would work with the contractor again
Are the products in your estimate ENERGY STARreg certifi ed and eligible for incentives
If an estimate is low it may mean yoursquore getting a lower quality product
Not all LEDs are a perfect fi t with existing fi xtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Keep this list handy to be sure your upgrade meets your expectations

Lighting upgrades
Owens Corning develops and manufactures building materials ranging from insulation and fiberglass to roofing A Fortune 500reg company for over 61 years its signature PINKreg insulation is a go-to product for residential commercial and industrial customers
The company is a pioneer in product innovation ndash it invented fiberglass in 1933 The culture of innovation at Owens Corning extends beyond how it comes up with new products to also how its products are made Ambitious targets have teams continuously looking for opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint
Even though the Toronto facility completed a plant-wide lighting upgrade just two years ago due to rapid advances in LED tube lighting the business case to complete another upgrade was too compelling to turn down ldquoIt just made sense with the current incentives and potential energy savingsrdquo says Maintenance Leader Ari Delopoulos ldquoWe were able to justify the upgrade right awayrdquo
All of the high-bay metal halide lights were replaced with T8 fluorescents in the original retrofit two years ago The second upgrade involved replacing the 32W T8s with 165W LED tube lamps ndash an easy switch that has reduced lighting load by close to 50 in offices the plant and warehouse ldquoIt was essentially plug and playrdquo says Delopoulos of the installation ldquoThe LED lamps were compatible with our existing ballasts so there was no need to bring in electriciansrdquo

ldquo The new lighting is more balanced therersquos less flicker and it makes everything look nicerrdquo
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader
Expert help was invaluable Owens Corning worked closely with Toronto Hydrorsquos Energy Experts to plan the project and apply for incentives ldquoThey were very helpful in calculating our energy cost savings and taking us through our lighting optionsrdquo says Delopoulos Before proceeding with the installation they were also able to test the new lighting on site to be sure the LEDs were suitable for each location and met their expectations
New LED tubes rarely need replacing Longevity factored into the decision to upgrade to LED lighting which lasts far longer than the original T8s ldquoMany of our fixtures are located in areas that arenrsquot accessiblerdquo Delopoulos explains
ldquoNow itrsquos much easier to replace lamps and we donrsquot need as many resources to deal with it LEDs are also safer to handle as they donrsquot contain mercuryrdquo
Brighter light ndash inside and outDelopoulos has received positive feedback from warehouse and office staff about the colour output of the new lighting which to many compares to natural daylight ldquoItrsquos a huge difference aesthetically and everyone seems to like themrdquo he says ldquoWersquove installed dimmer switches in some offices to allow employees to adjust the lighting to their desired levelrdquo Since LEDs are ideal for outdoor use Owens Corning also upgraded exterior lighting and the employees now feel safer at night

Lighting upgrades
Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview

Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price

Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for

Energy-efficient upgrades can qualify for incentives that offset up to 50 of project costs Contact our energy experts mdash we know your business your priorities and which technologies will help you cut costs in your building We can also help you calculate payback to strengthen your business case Ask us how to combine multiple projects such as lighting and occupancy controls to maximize your return on investment
You wouldnrsquot expect that an offi ce tower built some 20 years ago would rank among the most energy-effi cient buildings in Canada
At any given time Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place offi ce tower has at least fi ve energy-effi ciency projects underway ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt who relies
on regular team reviews of energy data to identify where the building consumes the most electricity
Itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt fi nds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary
ldquo It was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers their lifespan is longer and they need less maintenance which reduces costs
A ldquoquick winrdquo lighting project also had a big impact on load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced lamps from two to one in thousands of fi xtures This pragmatic cost-effective fi x cut lighting load in half ndash at little cost
Today Simcoe Place is saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 in annual cost savings Quite a big bang for their buck

Whole-building e ciency
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $014 per kWh
THE PROBLEMWhen Allied Properties REIT recently acquired a 12-storey commercial offi ce building analysis showed that the electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its size ndash particularly from electric baseboard heating
THE CHALLENGEReplacing the entire system would come in at a huge cost to Allied and would be extremely disruptive to tenants while the work was being completed
THE SOLUTIONAdding automated controls reduced the operating hours of the heaters Tenants control the temperature as usual but after hours the system automatically adjusts to use less electricity
THE OUTCOMEThis simple solution had signifi cant impact Tenants are comfortable and in control during the day After hours Allied cut costs in half

Can you install samples so we can see how it looks fi rst
Before you commit does the sample meet your expectations This is the time to verify light levels consider potential problems with glare and make sure the energy performance will meet the projected savings outlined in the estimate
Are the new lamps compatible with my existing ballasts
Has your contractor checked with the manufacturer to determine if they work together Do warranties still apply for that combination
Is it worth replacing the ballasts
The age of your ballasts affects lamp performance ndash ask for a performance analysis that includes with replacement and without
Will the new lamps work with my emergency backup system
The last thing you want is to be left in the dark
May I contact references from clients in the area
Ask clients whether the project came in on budget and whether they would work with the contractor again
Are the products in your estimate ENERGY STARreg certifi ed and eligible for incentives
If an estimate is low it may mean yoursquore getting a lower quality product

Lighting upgrades
Owens Corning develops and manufactures building materials ranging from insulation and fiberglass to roofing A Fortune 500reg company for over 61 years its signature PINKreg insulation is a go-to product for residential commercial and industrial customers
The company is a pioneer in product innovation ndash it invented fiberglass in 1933 The culture of innovation at Owens Corning extends beyond how it comes up with new products to also how its products are made Ambitious targets have teams continuously looking for opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint
Even though the Toronto facility completed a plant-wide lighting upgrade just two years ago due to rapid advances in LED tube lighting the business case to complete another upgrade was too compelling to turn down ldquoIt just made sense with the current incentives and potential energy savingsrdquo says Maintenance Leader Ari Delopoulos ldquoWe were able to justify the upgrade right awayrdquo
All of the high-bay metal halide lights were replaced with T8 fluorescents in the original retrofit two years ago The second upgrade involved replacing the 32W T8s with 165W LED tube lamps ndash an easy switch that has reduced lighting load by close to 50 in offices the plant and warehouse ldquoIt was essentially plug and playrdquo says Delopoulos of the installation ldquoThe LED lamps were compatible with our existing ballasts so there was no need to bring in electriciansrdquo

ldquo The new lighting is more balanced therersquos less flicker and it makes everything look nicerrdquo
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader
Expert help was invaluable Owens Corning worked closely with Toronto Hydrorsquos Energy Experts to plan the project and apply for incentives ldquoThey were very helpful in calculating our energy cost savings and taking us through our lighting optionsrdquo says Delopoulos Before proceeding with the installation they were also able to test the new lighting on site to be sure the LEDs were suitable for each location and met their expectations
New LED tubes rarely need replacing Longevity factored into the decision to upgrade to LED lighting which lasts far longer than the original T8s ldquoMany of our fixtures are located in areas that arenrsquot accessiblerdquo Delopoulos explains
ldquoNow itrsquos much easier to replace lamps and we donrsquot need as many resources to deal with it LEDs are also safer to handle as they donrsquot contain mercuryrdquo
Brighter light ndash inside and outDelopoulos has received positive feedback from warehouse and office staff about the colour output of the new lighting which to many compares to natural daylight ldquoItrsquos a huge difference aesthetically and everyone seems to like themrdquo he says ldquoWersquove installed dimmer switches in some offices to allow employees to adjust the lighting to their desired levelrdquo Since LEDs are ideal for outdoor use Owens Corning also upgraded exterior lighting and the employees now feel safer at night

Lighting upgrades
Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

2 LEDsHigh-performance LEDs are extremely durable and have an average-rated life up to 50000 hoursdagger so they rarely need replacement In some cases the upgrade can be as simple as a lamp-for-lamp swap ndash no fixture replacements or electrician requiredDagger
Typically two-year paybacks
Quick straightforward upgrade
Pair with sensors for savings up to 70
Better visibility can also enhance safety for residents
Keeping your buildingrsquos garage in top condition can cost as much as $500 a year per parking stall Some of that money can easily be recouped through energy savings Get incentives up to 50 of project costs for simple retrofits to lighting controls and fans to maximize savings and reduce operating costs
1 CO SENSORSAdd CO sensors to garage exhaust fans so they run only when fresh air is needed With fans not running constantly garages are quieter and use far less electricity
Reduce electricity costs by up to 75
Payback as fast as two to three years
Quick installation minimal disruption

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references

Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting

Lighting upgrades
Owens Corning develops and manufactures building materials ranging from insulation and fiberglass to roofing A Fortune 500reg company for over 61 years its signature PINKreg insulation is a go-to product for residential commercial and industrial customers
The company is a pioneer in product innovation ndash it invented fiberglass in 1933 The culture of innovation at Owens Corning extends beyond how it comes up with new products to also how its products are made Ambitious targets have teams continuously looking for opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint
Even though the Toronto facility completed a plant-wide lighting upgrade just two years ago due to rapid advances in LED tube lighting the business case to complete another upgrade was too compelling to turn down ldquoIt just made sense with the current incentives and potential energy savingsrdquo says Maintenance Leader Ari Delopoulos ldquoWe were able to justify the upgrade right awayrdquo
All of the high-bay metal halide lights were replaced with T8 fluorescents in the original retrofit two years ago The second upgrade involved replacing the 32W T8s with 165W LED tube lamps ndash an easy switch that has reduced lighting load by close to 50 in offices the plant and warehouse ldquoIt was essentially plug and playrdquo says Delopoulos of the installation ldquoThe LED lamps were compatible with our existing ballasts so there was no need to bring in electriciansrdquo

ldquo The new lighting is more balanced therersquos less flicker and it makes everything look nicerrdquo
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader
Expert help was invaluable Owens Corning worked closely with Toronto Hydrorsquos Energy Experts to plan the project and apply for incentives ldquoThey were very helpful in calculating our energy cost savings and taking us through our lighting optionsrdquo says Delopoulos Before proceeding with the installation they were also able to test the new lighting on site to be sure the LEDs were suitable for each location and met their expectations
New LED tubes rarely need replacing Longevity factored into the decision to upgrade to LED lighting which lasts far longer than the original T8s ldquoMany of our fixtures are located in areas that arenrsquot accessiblerdquo Delopoulos explains
ldquoNow itrsquos much easier to replace lamps and we donrsquot need as many resources to deal with it LEDs are also safer to handle as they donrsquot contain mercuryrdquo
Brighter light ndash inside and outDelopoulos has received positive feedback from warehouse and office staff about the colour output of the new lighting which to many compares to natural daylight ldquoItrsquos a huge difference aesthetically and everyone seems to like themrdquo he says ldquoWersquove installed dimmer switches in some offices to allow employees to adjust the lighting to their desired levelrdquo Since LEDs are ideal for outdoor use Owens Corning also upgraded exterior lighting and the employees now feel safer at night

Suite of upgrades holds condo fees steady

Lighting upgrades
Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview

Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards

Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs

Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases
Restaurants and entertainment facilities
The savings are immediate with ROI as fast as one year

Case Study
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $010 per kWh
Lighting upgrades
Owens Corning develops and manufactures building materials ranging from insulation and fiberglass to roofing A Fortune 500reg company for over 61 years its signature PINKreg insulation is a go-to product for residential commercial and industrial customers
The company is a pioneer in product innovation ndash it invented fiberglass in 1933 The culture of innovation at Owens Corning extends beyond how it comes up with new products to also how its products are made Ambitious targets have teams continuously looking for opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint
Even though the Toronto facility completed a plant-wide lighting upgrade just two years ago due to rapid advances in LED tube lighting the business case to complete another upgrade was too compelling to turn down ldquoIt just made sense with the current incentives and potential energy savingsrdquo says Maintenance Leader Ari Delopoulos ldquoWe were able to justify the upgrade right awayrdquo
All of the high-bay metal halide lights were replaced with T8 fluorescents in the original retrofit two years ago The second upgrade involved replacing the 32W T8s with 165W LED tube lamps ndash an easy switch that has reduced lighting load by close to 50 in offices the plant and warehouse ldquoIt was essentially plug and playrdquo says Delopoulos of the installation ldquoThe LED lamps were compatible with our existing ballasts so there was no need to bring in electriciansrdquo

ldquo The new lighting is more balanced therersquos less flicker and it makes everything look nicerrdquo
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader
Expert help was invaluable Owens Corning worked closely with Toronto Hydrorsquos Energy Experts to plan the project and apply for incentives ldquoThey were very helpful in calculating our energy cost savings and taking us through our lighting optionsrdquo says Delopoulos Before proceeding with the installation they were also able to test the new lighting on site to be sure the LEDs were suitable for each location and met their expectations
New LED tubes rarely need replacing Longevity factored into the decision to upgrade to LED lighting which lasts far longer than the original T8s ldquoMany of our fixtures are located in areas that arenrsquot accessiblerdquo Delopoulos explains
ldquoNow itrsquos much easier to replace lamps and we donrsquot need as many resources to deal with it LEDs are also safer to handle as they donrsquot contain mercuryrdquo
Brighter light ndash inside and outDelopoulos has received positive feedback from warehouse and office staff about the colour output of the new lighting which to many compares to natural daylight ldquoItrsquos a huge difference aesthetically and everyone seems to like themrdquo he says ldquoWersquove installed dimmer switches in some offices to allow employees to adjust the lighting to their desired levelrdquo Since LEDs are ideal for outdoor use Owens Corning also upgraded exterior lighting and the employees now feel safer at night

Suite of upgrades holds condo fees steady
Juan Carlos Morales Property Manager amp John Goudey Board Member
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $015 per kWh
Lighting upgrades
Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview

Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)

With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases
Restaurants and entertainment facilities

Lighting upgrades
Owens Corning develops and manufactures building materials ranging from insulation and fiberglass to roofing A Fortune 500reg company for over 61 years its signature PINKreg insulation is a go-to product for residential commercial and industrial customers
The company is a pioneer in product innovation ndash it invented fiberglass in 1933 The culture of innovation at Owens Corning extends beyond how it comes up with new products to also how its products are made Ambitious targets have teams continuously looking for opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint
Even though the Toronto facility completed a plant-wide lighting upgrade just two years ago due to rapid advances in LED tube lighting the business case to complete another upgrade was too compelling to turn down ldquoIt just made sense with the current incentives and potential energy savingsrdquo says Maintenance Leader Ari Delopoulos ldquoWe were able to justify the upgrade right awayrdquo
All of the high-bay metal halide lights were replaced with T8 fluorescents in the original retrofit two years ago The second upgrade involved replacing the 32W T8s with 165W LED tube lamps ndash an easy switch that has reduced lighting load by close to 50 in offices the plant and warehouse ldquoIt was essentially plug and playrdquo says Delopoulos of the installation ldquoThe LED lamps were compatible with our existing ballasts so there was no need to bring in electriciansrdquo

ldquo The new lighting is more balanced therersquos less flicker and it makes everything look nicerrdquo
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader
Expert help was invaluable Owens Corning worked closely with Toronto Hydrorsquos Energy Experts to plan the project and apply for incentives ldquoThey were very helpful in calculating our energy cost savings and taking us through our lighting optionsrdquo says Delopoulos Before proceeding with the installation they were also able to test the new lighting on site to be sure the LEDs were suitable for each location and met their expectations
New LED tubes rarely need replacing Longevity factored into the decision to upgrade to LED lighting which lasts far longer than the original T8s ldquoMany of our fixtures are located in areas that arenrsquot accessiblerdquo Delopoulos explains
ldquoNow itrsquos much easier to replace lamps and we donrsquot need as many resources to deal with it LEDs are also safer to handle as they donrsquot contain mercuryrdquo
Brighter light ndash inside and outDelopoulos has received positive feedback from warehouse and office staff about the colour output of the new lighting which to many compares to natural daylight ldquoItrsquos a huge difference aesthetically and everyone seems to like themrdquo he says ldquoWersquove installed dimmer switches in some offices to allow employees to adjust the lighting to their desired levelrdquo Since LEDs are ideal for outdoor use Owens Corning also upgraded exterior lighting and the employees now feel safer at night

Suite of upgrades holds condo fees steady
Juan Carlos Morales Property Manager amp John Goudey Board Member

Lighting upgrades
Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Left to right Victor da Rosa Energy Expert Toronto Hydro Nathan Mordaunt General Manager Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $014 per kWh

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)

Lighting upgrades
Owens Corning develops and manufactures building materials ranging from insulation and fiberglass to roofing A Fortune 500reg company for over 61 years its signature PINKreg insulation is a go-to product for residential commercial and industrial customers
The company is a pioneer in product innovation ndash it invented fiberglass in 1933 The culture of innovation at Owens Corning extends beyond how it comes up with new products to also how its products are made Ambitious targets have teams continuously looking for opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint
Even though the Toronto facility completed a plant-wide lighting upgrade just two years ago due to rapid advances in LED tube lighting the business case to complete another upgrade was too compelling to turn down ldquoIt just made sense with the current incentives and potential energy savingsrdquo says Maintenance Leader Ari Delopoulos ldquoWe were able to justify the upgrade right awayrdquo
All of the high-bay metal halide lights were replaced with T8 fluorescents in the original retrofit two years ago The second upgrade involved replacing the 32W T8s with 165W LED tube lamps ndash an easy switch that has reduced lighting load by close to 50 in offices the plant and warehouse ldquoIt was essentially plug and playrdquo says Delopoulos of the installation ldquoThe LED lamps were compatible with our existing ballasts so there was no need to bring in electriciansrdquo

ldquo The new lighting is more balanced therersquos less flicker and it makes everything look nicerrdquo
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader
Expert help was invaluable Owens Corning worked closely with Toronto Hydrorsquos Energy Experts to plan the project and apply for incentives ldquoThey were very helpful in calculating our energy cost savings and taking us through our lighting optionsrdquo says Delopoulos Before proceeding with the installation they were also able to test the new lighting on site to be sure the LEDs were suitable for each location and met their expectations
New LED tubes rarely need replacing Longevity factored into the decision to upgrade to LED lighting which lasts far longer than the original T8s ldquoMany of our fixtures are located in areas that arenrsquot accessiblerdquo Delopoulos explains
ldquoNow itrsquos much easier to replace lamps and we donrsquot need as many resources to deal with it LEDs are also safer to handle as they donrsquot contain mercuryrdquo
Brighter light ndash inside and outDelopoulos has received positive feedback from warehouse and office staff about the colour output of the new lighting which to many compares to natural daylight ldquoItrsquos a huge difference aesthetically and everyone seems to like themrdquo he says ldquoWersquove installed dimmer switches in some offices to allow employees to adjust the lighting to their desired levelrdquo Since LEDs are ideal for outdoor use Owens Corning also upgraded exterior lighting and the employees now feel safer at night

Lighting upgrades
Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Left to right Victor da Rosa Energy Expert Toronto Hydro Nathan Mordaunt General Manager Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Drive down costs in the garage CASE STUDY
High pressure sodium and T12 lamps in the parking garages of the three Waterford towers were replaced with LED lighting This fast and easy upgrade resulted in more than $35000 in annual electricity savings
2 LEDsHigh-performance LEDs are extremely durable and have an average-rated life up to 50000 hoursdagger so they rarely need replacement In some cases the upgrade can be as simple as a lamp-for-lamp swap ndash no fixture replacements or electrician requiredDagger
Typically two-year paybacks
Quick straightforward upgrade
Pair with sensors for savings up to 70
Better visibility can also enhance safety for residents
Keeping your buildingrsquos garage in top condition can cost as much as $500 a year per parking stall Some of that money can easily be recouped through energy savings Get incentives up to 50 of project costs for simple retrofits to lighting controls and fans to maximize savings and reduce operating costs
1 CO SENSORSAdd CO sensors to garage exhaust fans so they run only when fresh air is needed With fans not running constantly garages are quieter and use far less electricity
Reduce electricity costs by up to 75
Payback as fast as two to three years
Quick installation minimal disruption
Based on $015kWh

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences

Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs

LEDs have Owens Corning tickled pink

Case Study
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $010 per kWh
Lighting upgrades
Owens Corning develops and manufactures building materials ranging from insulation and fiberglass to roofing A Fortune 500reg company for over 61 years its signature PINKreg insulation is a go-to product for residential commercial and industrial customers
The company is a pioneer in product innovation ndash it invented fiberglass in 1933 The culture of innovation at Owens Corning extends beyond how it comes up with new products to also how its products are made Ambitious targets have teams continuously looking for opportunities to reduce its environmental footprint
Even though the Toronto facility completed a plant-wide lighting upgrade just two years ago due to rapid advances in LED tube lighting the business case to complete another upgrade was too compelling to turn down ldquoIt just made sense with the current incentives and potential energy savingsrdquo says Maintenance Leader Ari Delopoulos ldquoWe were able to justify the upgrade right awayrdquo
All of the high-bay metal halide lights were replaced with T8 fluorescents in the original retrofit two years ago The second upgrade involved replacing the 32W T8s with 165W LED tube lamps ndash an easy switch that has reduced lighting load by close to 50 in offices the plant and warehouse ldquoIt was essentially plug and playrdquo says Delopoulos of the installation ldquoThe LED lamps were compatible with our existing ballasts so there was no need to bring in electriciansrdquo

ldquo The new lighting is more balanced therersquos less flicker and it makes everything look nicerrdquo
Ari Delopoulos Maintenance Leader
Expert help was invaluable Owens Corning worked closely with Toronto Hydrorsquos Energy Experts to plan the project and apply for incentives ldquoThey were very helpful in calculating our energy cost savings and taking us through our lighting optionsrdquo says Delopoulos Before proceeding with the installation they were also able to test the new lighting on site to be sure the LEDs were suitable for each location and met their expectations
New LED tubes rarely need replacing Longevity factored into the decision to upgrade to LED lighting which lasts far longer than the original T8s ldquoMany of our fixtures are located in areas that arenrsquot accessiblerdquo Delopoulos explains
ldquoNow itrsquos much easier to replace lamps and we donrsquot need as many resources to deal with it LEDs are also safer to handle as they donrsquot contain mercuryrdquo
Brighter light ndash inside and outDelopoulos has received positive feedback from warehouse and office staff about the colour output of the new lighting which to many compares to natural daylight ldquoItrsquos a huge difference aesthetically and everyone seems to like themrdquo he says ldquoWersquove installed dimmer switches in some offices to allow employees to adjust the lighting to their desired levelrdquo Since LEDs are ideal for outdoor use Owens Corning also upgraded exterior lighting and the employees now feel safer at night

Suite of upgrades holds condo fees steady
Juan Carlos Morales Property Manager amp John Goudey Board Member
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $015 per kWh
Lighting upgrades
Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Left to right Victor da Rosa Energy Expert Toronto Hydro Nathan Mordaunt General Manager Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $014 per kWh

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)

Waterford Case Study
Case Study
Suite of upgrades holds condo fees steady
Juan Carlos Morales Property Manager amp John Goudey Board Member
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $015 per kWh
Lighting upgrades
Set in a thriving community with sweeping views of Lake Ontario the Waterford Condominiums are among the most coveted residences in the area Another selling point ndash the condo board is striving to make the building a leader when it comes to energy eshy ciency
After a 2012 boiler upgrade yielded favourable payback the board looked for more savings building-wide When a subsequent lighting audit revealed that the parking garage accounted for nearly half of the overall lighting use in common areas they immediately decided to pursue upgrades in the garage stairwells hallways party rooms and outdoors
With a payback of just over two years the proposal to upgrade to more energy-eshy cient LED lighting was an easy sell to residents and has reinforced confi dence in the board ldquoOur mandate is to generate value for our owners and mitigate fee increasesrdquo says board member John Goudey ldquoWhat we save gives us the fl exibility to do more building enhancementsrdquo
Feedback from residents has been positive because of the noticeable improvement in the quality of light in common areas ldquoSome building improvements are like getting new tires for your car ndash no one really notices but you have to do itrdquo jokes board member Michele Martinson ldquoThis light has impactrdquo

ldquoYou donrsquot appreciate the impact of lighting until you see it When you drive by the building it doesnrsquot just look good ndash it sparklesrdquo
Greg Tschernow Board member
Reduced electricity maintenance costs In addition to nearly $58000 in electricity savings approximately one-third of overall savings have been found within maintenance as the new LED lamps rarely need replacing The upgrades have also helped control condo fees for residents Over four years the board has managed to keep fee increases to less than 1
Safety and style indoors and outFor Martinson the indoor lighting quality has greatly improved and the exterior feels safer especially for dog walkers ldquoThe pathways and the bus stop are illuminated The lights have also improved visibility for driversrdquo To the boardrsquos surprise even the buildingrsquos security cameras are more e ective with LED lighting as facial recognition is crisper and more detailed
The board is looking to pursue additional upgradesThe building has also upgraded CO sensors on garage exhaust fans occupancy controls in garbage rooms and fi tness areas and timers on exterior lights The board is currently planning another project to outfi t pumps with variable frequency drives ldquoWersquove already called Toronto Hydro to start the processrdquo says Goudey ldquoWe wonrsquot stop until wersquore the most energy-e cient condo building in Torontordquo

A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Left to right Victor da Rosa Energy Expert Toronto Hydro Nathan Mordaunt General Manager Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references

Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs

With the introduction of commercially-viable LED lamps and fixtures businesses can expectunprecedented savings in their electricity costs for lighting ndash up to 75
An LED for every need
Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases
Restaurants and entertainment facilities
The savings are immediate with ROI as fast as one year

Get incentives to upgrade
Lighting upgrade projects can qualify for incentives that offset up to 50 of project costs LED lamps may also count as an operating rather than a capital expense in your budget so itrsquos easy to get started
Ask us how to combine other upgrades with your lighting project such as occupancy controls to maximize your return-on-investment
A custom solution for every tenantTo meet the needs of different businesses especially retail showrooms where display lighting is so important Allied worked with each tenant to create a custom lighting solution for each suite ldquoSome people were worried that LEDs would look utilitarianrdquo explains Talverdi who gave each tenant the option to choose their own colour temperature
ldquoWe want to reduce costs ndash but we also want happy tenantsrdquo
Heaters also represented a significant loadThe assessment also uncovered a savings opportunity with the buildingrsquos electric baseboard heaters Rather than replace the entire system which would have been a huge cost and disruptive to tenants Allied added automated controls to reduce the operating hours of the heaters Today tenants control the temperature as usual during work hours but after 7 pm itrsquos automatically adjusted to use less electricity ldquoIt wasnrsquot a complex project but itrsquos had significant impactrdquo says Talverdi ldquoOur tenants donrsquot notice a difference as they typically leave before the temperature adjusts for the night but wersquove cut costs in half after hoursrdquo
Engaging tenants is also key to savingTenants at 555 Richmond pay electricity costs based on the size of their suite regardless of what they actually use Thatrsquos why Allied has started a tenant green council that meets quarterly to discuss environmental initiatives that will encourage tenants to adopt energy-saving strategies Says Talverdi ldquoNowadays everyone wants to do their part We want to give them the tools and methods to saverdquo
ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is better Wersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager
Allied Properties REIT Case Study
Allied Properties REIT is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a sizeable portfolio ndash 104 million square feet of urban office space across Canada Sustainability is a pillar of its corporate social responsibility strategy Many of its buildings are LEED or BOMA BESTreg certified to achieve high building performance Allied is well known for adaptive re-use or the ldquorecyclingrdquo of older buildings which has less environmental impact than building new
Recently Allied acquired 555 Richmond Street West a 12-storey commercial office building built in 1988 The tenant mix runs the gamut from fashion houses to health technology companies to a members-only fitness club
As with every new acquisition Allied assessed the property by looking at its operations and the condition of its equipment ldquoWe realized the buildingrsquos electricity usage was high relative to other properties of its sizerdquo says Powell Talverdi Director of Technical Services ldquoToronto Hydro was extremely helpful in identifying where we could be using lessrdquo
Allied tackled the low-hanging fruit first replacing over 8000 T8 and T12 lamps with long-lasting LEDs in individual suites hallways stairwells and the garage The upgrade has reduced electricity costs by $158500 a year ldquoThe whole life cycle of LEDs is betterrdquo says Gerry Casey Maintenance Manager who also notes that operational expenses are down ldquoWersquore spending far less on replacement and the cost of disposalrdquo

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Left to right Victor da Rosa Energy Expert Toronto Hydro Nathan Mordaunt General Manager Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $014 per kWh

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo

Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Energy efficiency in parking garages
Drive down costs in the garage CASE STUDY
High pressure sodium and T12 lamps in the parking garages of the three Waterford towers were replaced with LED lighting This fast and easy upgrade resulted in more than $35000 in annual electricity savings
2 LEDsHigh-performance LEDs are extremely durable and have an average-rated life up to 50000 hoursdagger so they rarely need replacement In some cases the upgrade can be as simple as a lamp-for-lamp swap ndash no fixture replacements or electrician requiredDagger
Typically two-year paybacks
Quick straightforward upgrade
Pair with sensors for savings up to 70
Better visibility can also enhance safety for residents
Keeping your buildingrsquos garage in top condition can cost as much as $500 a year per parking stall Some of that money can easily be recouped through energy savings Get incentives up to 50 of project costs for simple retrofits to lighting controls and fans to maximize savings and reduce operating costs
1 CO SENSORSAdd CO sensors to garage exhaust fans so they run only when fresh air is needed With fans not running constantly garages are quieter and use far less electricity
Reduce electricity costs by up to 75
Payback as fast as two to three years
Quick installation minimal disruption
Based on $015kWh

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage

Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation

With the introduction of commercially-viable LED lamps and fixtures businesses can expectunprecedented savings in their electricity costs for lighting ndash up to 75
An LED for every need
Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting

Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Left to right Victor da Rosa Energy Expert Toronto Hydro Nathan Mordaunt General Manager Simcoe Place Cadillac Fairview
Built in 1995 Cadillac Fairviewrsquos Simcoe Place was the only major office tower constructed between the recession and the subsequent real estate boom establishing itself as a landmark in Torontorsquos financial district Today thanks to award-winning conservation initiatives and an impressive energy management plan itrsquos ranked in the 98th percentile among the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada
When it began to pursue energy savings as part of Cadillac Fairviewrsquos ldquoGreen at Work Sustainability Strategyrdquo Simcoe Place worked with Enerlife Consulting to analyze its energy profile Systematic reviews of trends and data identified where the building was consuming the most energy ldquoYou canrsquot manage what you canrsquot measurerdquo says General Manager Nathan Mordaunt ldquoWe were able to calculate the buildingrsquos lighting and HVAC load right down to the square footrdquo
At any given time Simcoe Place has up to five energy-efficiency projects underway ndash and more planned While some projects are more compre-hensive itrsquos the simple innovative solutions that Mordaunt finds most compelling Take the example of a recent transformer optimization project that uncovered that only three of the buildingrsquos six transformers were really necessary ldquoIt was a $10000 project that yielded 400000 kWh in electricity savingsrdquo says Mordaunt By cycling the transformers the lifespan is longer maintenance is reduced and there has also been a significant drop in cooling costs
Calculations are based on an average electricity cost of $014 per kWh

Another non-intrusive project had a big impact on the buildingrsquos lighting load After discovering that lighting was at nearly double the required levels Simcoe Place reduced T8 lamps from two down to one in thousands of fixtures This pragmatic fix cut energy use auto-matically by 50 throughout the building If some tenants were hesitant to move down to a single lamp they were given the option to switch from two 32W T8 lamps to two 28W T8 lamps This reduced energy use by 125 without a noticeable change in lighting levels
Incentives made the business case feasible Simcoe Place is now saving close to $070 per square foot every year which translates into about $555000 a year in energy costs Toronto Hydro worked closely with the team at Simcoe Place to identify savings opportunities prioritize key projects and help secure funding For Mordaunt the incentives are part and parcel of every project
ldquoThe total savings and return can be compellingrdquo he explains
Energy efficiency is a competitive advantageAccording to Mordaunt maintaining a building to sustainable standards is expected from tenants so much so that green initiatives are now a prominent part of Simcoe Placersquos tenant retention focus A green committee facilitated with JLL also regularly distributes collateral covering everything from energy conservation to recycling to green supplier procurement policies ldquoEnergy efficiency has become a differentiator in our businessrdquo he says ldquoItrsquos a new way to add value especially for companies looking to attract top talent And thatrsquos a win for tenants and building owners alikerdquo
Simcoe Place Case Study
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price

With the introduction of commercially-viable LED lamps and fixtures businesses can expectunprecedented savings in their electricity costs for lighting ndash up to 75
An LED for every need
Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays

Small Business Lighting
Campbell Company of Canada has been a household name for over 85 years producing a variety of high-quality soups and simple meals to snacks and healthy beverages Sustainability is an important part of its corporate plan and the company is already well on track to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2020
Faced with aging boilers in need of eventual costly replacement implementing a CHP system made more economical sense The principle of CHP is simple when electricity is generated so is heat CHP captures this heat and transforms it into useful energy The CHP plant has achieved anticipated cost savings and now supplies up to 93 of the companyrsquos annual steam requirements
Beyond the more than $15 million saved annually in energy costs the new CHP system has led to substantial cost savings in food production
Being able to rely on uninterrupted power is another key benefit of CHP and one thatrsquos essential to safe food processing With its new CHP system the plant can operate independently as an electrical island and avoid downtime during outages ldquoOur sterilizers need consistently hot temperaturesrdquo says Mark Galvin Manager Engineering and Maintenance ldquoEven a short outage can set us back for up to five hours We have to scrap food clean up and re-sterilize our equipment It can be very costlyrdquo
Campbell saves with souped-up system

Partnerships were critical to successIt took several groups to make the project a reality Toronto Hydro played a key role throughout the process providing both technical and financial support The incentive 40 of the total cost was essential to make the project viable
A third-party firm conducted a detailed engineering study to ensure that the CHP plant was designed to meet the specific needs of the system ldquoWe needed someone with local expertise and experience to keep the project on trackrdquo says Galvin ldquoOur partners knew specialized contractors and could navigate all the regulatory and permit processes on our behalfrdquo
The transition has been smooth with no unexpected costs beyond planned maintenance According to Galvin CHP has ldquolived up to its billing Itrsquos reliable and easy to operaterdquo The company also invested in intensive training for maintenance crews to take ownership of the new system ldquoIt was an additional cost but it was important to us to retain that knowledge internallyrdquo says Galvin
A culture of conservation growing at CampbellCampbell has also embarked on other energy-efficiency projects including a $100000 compressed air upgrade a major LED lighting retrofit the introduction of sensors and more An impressive employee engagement program has also generated 223 conservation ideas from staff ndash 67 of which have already been implemented in the plant Says Galvin ldquoeven small ideas countrdquo

Better visibility can also enhance safety for residents
Keeping your buildingrsquos garage in top condition can cost as much as $500 a year per parking stall Some of that money can easily be recouped through energy savings Get incentives up to 50 of project costs for simple retrofits to lighting controls and fans to maximize savings and reduce operating costs
1 CO SENSORSAdd CO sensors to garage exhaust fans so they run only when fresh air is needed With fans not running constantly garages are quieter and use far less electricity
Reduce electricity costs by up to 75
Payback as fast as two to three years
Quick installation minimal disruption
Based on $015kWh
dagger The Illuminating Engineering Society currently recommends calculating the life of an LED at the point at which the LED reaches 30 lumen depreciation
Dagger Itrsquos important to verify with your supplier that your ballast is LED compatible (eg system wattage warranty) to determine if ballast replacements are needed

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references

An LED for every need
Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage

LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)

Energy efficiency in parking garages
Drive down costs in the garage CASE STUDY
High pressure sodium and T12 lamps in the parking garages of the three Waterford towers were replaced with LED lighting This fast and easy upgrade resulted in more than $35000 in annual electricity savings
2 LEDsHigh-performance LEDs are extremely durable and have an average-rated life up to 50000 hoursdagger so they rarely need replacement In some cases the upgrade can be as simple as a lamp-for-lamp swap ndash no fixture replacements or electrician requiredDagger
Typically two-year paybacks
Quick straightforward upgrade
Pair with sensors for savings up to 70
Better visibility can also enhance safety for residents
Keeping your buildingrsquos garage in top condition can cost as much as $500 a year per parking stall Some of that money can easily be recouped through energy savings Get incentives up to 50 of project costs for simple retrofits to lighting controls and fans to maximize savings and reduce operating costs
1 CO SENSORSAdd CO sensors to garage exhaust fans so they run only when fresh air is needed With fans not running constantly garages are quieter and use far less electricity
Reduce electricity costs by up to 75
Payback as fast as two to three years
Quick installation minimal disruption
Based on $015kWh
dagger The Illuminating Engineering Society currently recommends calculating the life of an LED at the point at which the LED reaches 30 lumen depreciation
Dagger Itrsquos important to verify with your supplier that your ballast is LED compatible (eg system wattage warranty) to determine if ballast replacements are needed

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage

Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation LED Lighting
With the introduction of commercially-viable LED lamps and fixtures businesses can expectunprecedented savings in their electricity costs for lighting ndash up to 75
An LED for every need
Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases
Restaurants and entertainment facilities

With the introduction of commercially-viable LED lamps and fixtures businesses can expectunprecedented savings in their electricity costs for lighting ndash up to 75
An LED for every need
Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases
Restaurants and entertainment facilities
The savings are immediate with ROI as fast as one year

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage

Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation

Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price

Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases
Restaurants and entertainment facilities
The savings are immediate with ROI as fast as one year

Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences

As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)

Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation LED Lighting
With the introduction of commercially-viable LED lamps and fixtures businesses can expectunprecedented savings in their electricity costs for lighting ndash up to 75
An LED for every need
Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases
Restaurants and entertainment facilities
The savings are immediate with ROI as fast as one year
LED pin lamps A do-it-yourself upgradeNow its even easier to modernize your lighting with LED pin lampsthat snap into compatible ballasts
Just plug and playAs your CFLs burn out replace them with new two-pin or four-pinLED lamps Its so easy your maintenance staff can do it ndash no fixturereplacements no re-wiring no electrician required

Today theres a large selection of LED lamps fixtures and arrays formany types of installations So there is no reason to wait Thesavings are immediate the paybacks are generally between one andthree years and in many cases the quality of the lighting isnoticeably improved
LEDs reduce your maintenance costs too
Since LEDs typically last four to nine times longer than other lightingsources you dont have to change them as often Thats especiallyimportant in outdoor or high-bay areas where cranes or lifts arerequired to reach the fixtures
Beyond energy savings ndash more LED benefits
Their compact size makes LEDs more versatile
Low heat dissipation means lighting can often be closer to theobject being lit and also reduces overall air conditioningrequirements
Immediately on and start at full brightness
Fully dimmable
Ideal for outdoors and perform well in both heat and cold
Available in a selection of colours
As an added safety factor LEDs operate at low voltage
Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs
Parking lots and other outdoor lighting
Commercial signage
Due to their low-heat output and small size LEDs are goodcandidates for
Freezer cases fruit and vegetable displays
Retail display cases
Restaurants and entertainment facilities
The savings are immediate with ROI as fast as one year
LED pin lamps A do-it-yourself upgradeNow its even easier to modernize your lighting with LED pin lampsthat snap into compatible ballasts

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps

Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)

Dont overlook these opportunities
With their long-rated life consider LEDs in areas where lighting isrequired for substantial periods of time including
Always on locations such as lobbies hallways stairs exit signs

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references

The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system

Home Electricity Conservation Business Conservation Contractor Tips
The top seven factors
Double-check ballasts for compatibility
Not all LEDs are a perfect fit with existing fixtures so a lighting upgrade may involve more than a simple switch Be sureyour contractor
Does a performance analysis that includes an option with replacement ballasts and without ndash the age of your ballastsdirectly affects LED performance Since LEDs last up to 50000 hours and allow for the use of controls which can add toenergy savings it may make more sense to re-ballast at the same time you upgrade to LED lamps
Confirms that you have instant-start electronic ballasts ndash LEDs will not work with rapid start or magnetic ballasts andsome may not work with dimmable or programmable-start ballasts
Checks with the manufacturer to determine if the new lamps are compatible with your existing ballasts
Ensures that warranties still apply for the combination of lamp and fixture proposed on the estimate
Confirms that the new lamps are compatible with your emergency backup system
Download checklist
Seeing is believing
Insist on transparency
Ask for references
Check permits insurance coverage and licences
Be sure you meet current lighting standards
Choose long-term quality over short-term price
Workplace Safety andInsurance Board (WSIB)coverage
Liability insuranceinformation
Proof of warrantyfor both the equipment andinstallation
Proof of ECRAESAlicence(must be included in allcorrespondence)
