1.2 BACKGROUND DESCRIPTION
General Information

Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning was founded in 1967. There
are currently 11,000 full time students, approximately 30,000+ part-time enrolments, and over 93,000
alumni. Conestoga College is made up of eight campuses: Doon Campus (Kitchener), Cambridge
Campus (Cambridge), Cambridge Downtown (Cambridge), Waterloo Campus (Waterloo), Guelph
Campus (Guelph), Brantford Campus (Brantford), Ingersoll Skill Training Center (Ingersoll), Startford
Campus (Stratford).
Conestoga College has a comprehensive range of programs – from apprenticeships through
degrees – reflects the area’s diverse and changing job market and local workplace skill requirements.

Quick Facts:

• Full-time Students: 11,000

• Apprenticeship Seats: 3,300
• Part-time Enrolments: 30,000 +
• Alumni: 93,000
• Close to half of the adults in Waterloo Region population (47%) have participated in Conestoga
training and education.
• Almost 90% of 2012 graduates were employed within six months of graduation.
• Conestoga graduates contribute more than $1 billion to the local economy each year.
• 53% of all health-care professionals (excluding physicians) in Waterloo Region received their
training at Conestoga.
• Conestoga offers more than 120 full-time diploma programs, 26 apprenticeship programs, 9
four-year bachelor degree programs as well as 2 collaborative degrees, 23 graduate certificate
programs and more than 130 part-time programs.
• Conestoga has campuses and training centres in Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Stratford,
Cambridge, Brantford and Ingersoll.
• The Student Loan default rate of Conestoga’s students is consistently among the the lowest in
the province: we attribute this, at least partially, to the fact that so many of our students get
excellent jobs after graduation.
• Dr. John Tibbits, who joined Conestoga in 1987, is the longest-serving president in the Ontario
college system.

Conestoga College has implemented various energy saving program in the Doon Campus and
Cambridge, which consist of load shedding, demand response along with lighting controls. During
the past 5 years Conestoga College has been upgrading/installing building automation. Equipment
being replaced must comply with efficiency requirements. Air compressors used for the building
automation and for program use have also been replaced with more efficient compressors.

classrooms.

Guelph Campus:
This Building has T8 electromagnetic ballast 28 watts fixtures.
2.0 ENERGY MANAGEMENT POLICY
2.1 COMMITMENT BY THE COLLEGE:
Conestoga College is committed to positively impacting people as well as the environment being a
frontrunner in sustainability. This will assist Conestoga College in reducing energy consumption and
meet the Ontario Green Energy Act 2009 Regulation 397/11.
This Environmental Management Plan will act as a guideline to advance Conestoga College towards a
greener, more environmental and sustainable institution.
Conestoga College Environmental Management Plan will engage awareness for all stakeholders.

2.3 ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND GREEN GAS EMISSION GOALS AND

TARGET:
1 Reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions per square foot by 2019.

2 Reduce energy consumption by 2019 by implementing various energy saving strategies at all
campus such as:

a) Demand response ventilation for existing classroom and new constructions.

b) Load Shedding at Doon Campus, Cambridge Campus and Waterloo Campus
c) Replace pneumatic thermostats with Digital Controls.

3 Replace old Rooftop equipment .

 4 Replace old air compressors in Doon Campus and Waterloo Campus.

5 Optimize energy efficiency by performing energy saving retrofits and improvements such as
upgrading all Variable Air Volume box pneumatic controllers with DDC controllers and
implement Demand Response.

In order to fulfill our goal the following steps were taken.

- Established an Energy Team comprised of Schools, contracted Services, student

government, Facilities and Services management.

- Conducted a focused energy audit.

- Reviewed Energy audit findings and recommendation and prioritize projects.

- Identify resources requirement’s (financial and human)

- Developed the plan based on the priority project list.

- Implement our plan over the next five years.

In the above chart the 2010-2011 school year the total area does not include the new Cambridge
Campus and new F-wing as those additions did not go online until the 2011-2012 school year. The
baseline consumption was selected for the year 2011 as this was first year Conestoga had to report
Energy Use under the Ontario Regulation 397/11. The base line energy consumption and cost was taken
from the actual utility bills for Electricity and Gas. The major source of GHG emissions is from Natural
Gas.
3.2 Baseline GHG Inventory:
This is a baseline GHG inventory from 2011 to 2013 for Conestoga College.

 The information in table 4 is a detailed breakdown, of the different operating types of facilities
Conestoga College has and the GHG emissions and Energy Intensity. The GHG emissions is reported in
kilograms (Kg) of equivalent carbon dioxide (CO 2) units of GHG emissions attributed to the energy
purchased and consumed for each operation type reported. The GHG emission factors are based on
Environment Canada’s National Inventory. The Energy Intensity reported is the equivalent kilowatt
hours per square metre (ekWh/m2) of each operation type reported. The Energy Intensity is calculated
based on all of the energy purchased and consumed for each operation type reported relative to floor
area. This allows comparison of the efficiency of the same or different operation types within facilities of
a public agency or benchmarking against the same operation type province-wide.

5.0 FUTURE REPORTING
5.1 Reporting, Verifying and Updating the Action Plan and Targets
Conestoga College energy management will submit a progress report annually. The
report will include the status of the measured results as a result of energy retrofit, the current
year energy consumption, costs and greenhouse gases inventory. The report will provide details
on the various actions taken to achieve the targeted GHG emissions and any changes that can
be made. A new project list can be submitted and added to the energy plan. This will be done
by the Energy Management Team before the yearly budgets are set. The team will review the
Action Plan and decide which projects will be completed based on the budget available.
6.0 Annex
Sample Calculations:

Consumption Conversion Calculations:

Consumption total for electricity was in kWh and then converted to equivalent Giga Joules (GJ)
Example: Baseline (2010-2011) Electricity Consumption: 14,715,381 kWh X 0.0036 GJ/kWh = 52,975.37 GJ

Consumption total for Natural Gas was in cubic meters and then converted to equivalent Giga Joules (GJ)

Example: Baseline (2010-2011) Natural Gas Consumption: 1,398,666 m3 X 0.03769 GJ/m3 = 52,715.72 GJ

Gas Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions:

Greenhouse Gas Emissions –The following calculations are for gas consumption, for electricity consumption similar
calculations would be done. The required conversions were found at the Canada’s Climate Voluntary Challenge Registry
Inc. website. In the Guidelines section there is a participant’s Handbook sample calculations. The conversion factors for
calculating CO2 and the Global Warming Potential (GWP) can also be found at the Environment Canada website.

For 2010-2011
Co2 = Gas Consumption GJ/1000 X 49.68 tons / TJ
= 52,715.72 GJ/1000 X 49.68 tons / TJ
= 2618.9 tons

NOx = Gas Consumption GJ/1000 X 0.62 kg/TJ/1000 X Global Warming Potential

= 52,715.72 GJ/1000 x 0.62 kg/TJ/1000 x 298
= 10.7 eCo2 tons

CH4 = Gas Consumption GJ/1000 x 1.1 kJ/TJ/1000 x Global Warming Potential

= 52,715.72 GJ/1000 x 1.1 kg/TJ/1000 x 25
= 1.4 eCo2 tons

Total GHG = CO2(Equiv. CO2 tonnes) + NOx(equiv. CO2 tonnes) + CH4(equiv. CO2 tonnes)
= 2618.9 + 10.1 + 1.2
= 2630.1 equivalent CO2 tonnes
