Executive Summary:

The Energy & Waste Management Office (EWMO) developed an Energy Management Program (EMP) which was approved by City Council in 2003. The EMP sets out a roadmap showing how the EWMO will guide the City in meetings its energy conservation goals by:

• Coordinating the City's energy purchases
• Integrating its energy tracking program with the City's accounting system
• Co-ordinating energy efficiency retrofit programs in City divisions and as requested by City Agencies, Boards and Commissions
• Steering the City's purchase of 25% 'Green' power.
• Communicating and encouraging energy conservation actions to City staff.
• Promoting the EWMO as the City's point of contact for internal corporate energy management expertise.

The operational initiatives that will be undertaken to achieve these goals are included under the following headings:

1. Energy Supply
2. Energy Efficiency
3. Energy Information Tracking and Monitoring

Some of the highlights of the EMP include continued administration of the energy supply contracts, steering the City's green power purchases, investigating the availability of renewable energy, developing energy retrofits projects, establishing an energy efficiency training program and expanding the City's energy tracking and monitoring program.
