Community Greenhouse Gas Inventory: The objective of this project (completed in Q4, 2016) was to improve methodologies used to calculate Edmonton’s community GHG. The project involved developing a calculation and forecasting tool in conformance with the Global Protocol for Community Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories. In pursuing this protocol, the City applied what is called the BASIC+ inventory reporting level that includes all source 1, 2 and 3 emissions; as compared to the BASIC reporting level that includes only source 1 and 2 emissions. As such, the City of Edmonton was one of the first municipalities in Canada to fully comply with the BASIC+ approach outlined in the protocol. Next Steps: The improved calculator will be used extensively in 2017 to better understand and target greenhouse gas emissions in the community.(53.544389°, -113.4909267°)(56.130366°, -106.346771°)

Sustainable Building Practices: Integrated Infrastructure Services led a number of projects/initiatives in 2016 to advance sustainable building practices in City buildings. Key efforts included: (1) establishing formal corporate procedures defining best management practices for energy efficiency in buildings, (2) establishing the City (corporate) Operations Energy Education Program, (3) integrating the impact of energy efficiency retrofits and rehabilitation changes to City assets to lifecycles analysis, (4) conducting daylight harvesting and LED lighting pilot projects, (5) optimizing the building rehabilitation program by implementing requirements for higher efficiency building envelope, and mechanical and electrical systems, (6) completing the solar photovoltaic micro-generation pilot project and initiating large scale installation on City-owned buildings, (7) establishing the Combined Heat and Power Pilot Program, (8) building out the City Energy Management Opportunity Assessment Framework to include best practice energy audits and energy inspections, and (9) incorporating renewable and alternative energy considerations into the planning, architecture and engineering design of new buildings and rehabilitation of existing buildings.(53.544389°, -113.4909267°)(56.130366°, -106.346771°)

The City of Edmonton is actively involved in the ongoing development of Energy Futures Lab, an organization with a focus on bringing together teams of thought leaders, innovators and influencers to guide a social process design for transforming Alberta’s energy system to a greener state.This growing network of established, committed stakeholders and partners is developing a voice for change that recognizes:• Albertans in their cold climate and isolated trading location use a lot of energy to live and do business;That the world needs to find a way to provide energy for its citizens and economies without exceeding two degrees of global warming;• there is unprecedented global agreement with commitment to transitioning the global economy to achieve this target; and,• that it’s important to value the health and equity of individuals, families, communities, the economy, and the environment.The Energy Futures Lab have identified the following evolving innovation pathways to help accelerate this transition:• 1.Radically increase carbon efficiency and lower environmental impact in energy production.• 2.Pioneer innovative, high-value uses for carbon and carbon dioxide beyond combustion.• 3.Make major advances on the development, manufacturing, and deployment of renewable energy in Alberta.• 4.Dramatically reduce energy use through the development of smart energy communities throughout Alberta, including in Indigenous communities. • 5.Empower Albertans to participate in more local and distributed sustainable alternative energy supply.• 6.Build awareness and literacy broadly in Alberta about the full spectrum of energy choices and costs.• 7.Pioneer transparent policy development processes and decision-making tools that reflect long-term thinking and integrated approaches.• 8.Engage the hearts and imaginations of Albertans in energy system transition.• 9.Support the transfer and development of new skills in Alberta’s labour force to help workers and communities thrive in a low-carbon economy.• 10.Support initiatives where Indigenous peoples lead innovation in sustainable energy development.• 11.Dramatically reduce energy used for the transportation of people and goods.“http://energyfutureslab.com/w”(53.544389°, -113.4909267°)(56.130366°, -106.346771°)

Home Opportunities Program Edmonton (HOPE): The City of Edmonton’s HOPE program offers energy audits and recommended energy efficiency upgrades through a grant program supported by City Environmental Strategies. The energy audits, valued at $500 for pre- and post, plus $2,000 toward upgrades means a $2,500 grant for each home. In 2015, 42 homeowners were provided with grants for energy efficiency upgrades. Average pre-audit rating is 56 and average post-intervention rating is 64.In 2016, 39 homeowners were provided with grants for energy efficiency upgrades. Average pre-audit rating is 67 and average post-intervention rating is 74, for an average overall improvement in energy efficiency of 7. Total expenditures for the C02RE program in 2106 was around CDN$47,000. This program was closed off at end of 2016 due to its low level of participants from the community.(53.544389°, -113.4909267°)(56.130366°, -106.346771°)

All homes built in Oxford and Laurel Green City Developed suburban residential subdivisions require third party LEED, Built Green or Energuide Certifications as well Solar Ready certifications. As well, a proportion of homes were required to be constructed with secondary suites, adding to the density of the neighborhood as well as providing more diversity of more sustainable housing choices. A number of development and sustainablity incentives also were provided to encourage builders and homebuyers to reach energy efficiency, density, solar and renewable energy targets. Measurable gains in energy efficiency is evidenced by the most recent Report Card issued on homes completed to date: http://www.edmonton.ca/business_economy/documents/land_sales/Oxford_Report_Card__Jan_2016web_high.pdf(53.544389°, -113.4909267°)(56.130366°, -106.346771°)
