Energy Management
Reducing carbon emissions is critical to mitigating the worst effects of climate change. In the City of Toronto, over 50% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are generated directly by buildings.
With 583 operating schools comprising over 44 million square feet of floor area, the 污污漫画 is the second largest property owner in the city of Toronto. The ways in which the 污污漫画 designs, builds and operates schools has a significant impact on Toronto鈥檚 overall GHG emissions and the 污污漫画's ability to meet its aspirational goal of Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2050.
In 2020, the 污污漫画's Energy and Climate Action team was created within Sustainability to specifically address the challenges of climate change by focusing on ways to reduce GHG emissions generated by 污污漫画 buildings. The team is involved in a number of on-going projects and initiatives, including:
- Building Renewal Projects Commissioning
- Design Guideline Reviews
- Energy Retrofit Projects
- Building Automation Systems (BAS)
- Optimized Ventilation
- Utilities Management and Building Analytics
- Operations Excellence
- Solar Schools
- Green Will initiative
