ENVIRONMENT, CONSERVATION AND DEMAND ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION AND INTENT OF PLAN
The Corporation of the Town of Milton (the Town of Milton) has, over the last number of years,
investigated and undertaken a number of initiatives that fall under the umbrella of environmental
planning, sustainability and conservation management. With the intention of further improving upon
the Town’s environmental record, and enhancing accountability to residents, the Town of Milton has
decided to develop an Environment, Conservation and Demand Energy Management Plan
(ECDMP).
This plan fulfills the Town’s monitoring and reporting requirements of the Green Energy Act. In
addition, this plan includes a series of progressive and attainable actions to help improve the
environmental performance of the Town over a five year planning horizon.
The Town of Milton is committed to following the direction of the Plan, and will take the
necessary steps to ensure the Plan’s success through continual review and development.

THE GREEN ENERGY ACT
The Province of Ontario has developed the Green Energy Act (GEA) as “a mechanism to
expand renewable energy generation, encourage energy conservation and promote the creation of
clean energy jobs” (Ministry of Energy, 2012). A new
regulation under the GEA will require public agencies,
including municipalities, to:
 Report annually on energy use and GHG emissions
beginning July 1, 2013 and post that information
online; and,
 Develop five-year energy conservation plans starting
July 1, 2014, and post those plans online.
By completing a baseline of energy use (Section III) and the
associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as developing a plan for implementation
(Section IV) the Town of Milton is setting the stage to comply with Provincial regulations well in
advance of the reporting deadlines.

CURRENT STATE, BASELINE &
OPPORTUNITY
ENERGY OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT
An energy opportunity assessment was undertaken to confirm the current state of operations,
develop an energy consumption, demand and greenhouse gas baseline, and identify and quantify
opportunities for improved performance for Town facilities.
The energy opportunity assessment comprised of a brief evaluation of utility consumption history, a
brief walk-through of each Town-owned facility. Energy conservation measures (ECMs) have been
identified and evaluated for possible application at each Town facility to reduce energy consumption.
PORTFOLIO DESCRIPTION
The Town has a diverse inventory of buildings, the following portfolio description provides context
for the energy opportunity assessment and is consistent with GEA reporting requirements:

TOWN OF MILTON
ENVIRONMENT, CONSERVATION AND DEMAND ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN
Each of the potential energy conservation measures is described in more detail below:
Envelope Upgrades
Adding insulation to the walls and roof increases the “R-Value” associated with the building
envelope, thereby reducing the amount of energy lost to the environment. It also acts as a
weather-resistive barrier to better protect the building from water damage or leaks. By implementing
this measure, studies have shown a building may reduce the heating load by 37% and cooling
load by 10%. For existing buildings, this is generally a high cost measure since the walls and
roof essentially need to be rebuilt. The most effective strategy is to coordinate an increase in
insulation with a roof or wall replacement.
White roofs, also known as cool roofs, utilize technology that results in a roof with high solar
reflectivity and high thermal emissivity, causing the roofing system to maintain a cooler temperature
than a standard roof. This reduces the cooling load in the summer, but works in reverse in the
winter, raising the heating load. This ECM is recommended when the cooling load dominates the
heating load, and energy savings of approximately 20% of the cooling load can be achieved.
Windows are highly thermally emissive, allowing heat and light from the sun or inside the building
to pass through, thereby increasing the heating and cooling loads. By providing a “low-E” (low
thermal emissivity) coating on one of the inner glass surfaces, during the summer, infrared
radiation from sunlight can be reflected back outside, and during the winter, infrared radiation is
reflected back inside the building, reducing the heating and cooling loads.
Lighting Retrofits
Significant improvements have been made in the area of lighting technology in recent years.
Energy savings can be achieved by replacing older incandescent, T12 fluorescent, and metal halide
lamps with T8 fluorescent, T5 fluorescent, compact fluorescent (CFL), and LED (light-emitting
diode) lamps. Savings depend on the lamp type and wattage, as well as ballast used, but range
from 30-70%.
Lighting occupancy and daylight harvesting sensors can be used to turn lights off during periods of
inactivity or when there is enough sunlight to light the space. Typical energy savings from installing
these systems are approximately 40%.
Heating/Cooling System Upgrades and Controls Implementation
The majority of installed natural gas-fired rooftop space heaters are mid-efficiency units with
efficiencies in the 78%-82% range. New technologies available on the market today offer
efficiencies in the range of 89-97%. These technologies include modulating, two-stage or
condensing furnace styles. Similarly, new products are available on the cooling side which provide
may provide energy savings. However, the majority of packaged rooftop units labeled as high
20
TOWN OF MILTON
ENVIRONMENT, CONSERVATION AND DEMAND ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN
efficiency include only higher coefficient of performance (COP) values on the electric cooling side
with no increase in heating efficiency. A complete evaluation of the heating and cooling systems
should be conducted prior to selection.
It is possible to install external compressor controls DX air conditioning systems. The external
retrofit will allow for better control of the compressor and better matching between the cooling load
and the compressor output. The DX based cooling units located on the roof of the facility may be
candidates for this retrofit. Energy savings associated with compressor control are approximately
20% of the electrical compressor load. It should be noted that certain units are not compatible
with an external control or have a similar built in function. Prior to implementation the manufacturer
of the controller should be contacted to ensure the units are compatible.
Standard boilers operate at an efficiency of approximately 80%. Newer condensing boilers can
operate at efficiencies of up to 95%, but the heating system must be designed to operate at
temperatures low enough for condensation to occur. Typical savings from upgrading to a
condensing boiler are approximately 10%.
The fan motors in packaged units typically run at constant speeds. Variable frequency drives
(VFDs) can be installed on the motors to match the fan output to the required airflow. Energy
savings vary depending on the specific system characteristics, but in certain cases can be 50% or
higher.
Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB), also known as air balancing, reviews the current
operation of dampers and valves, and adjusts their operation in order to reduce system pressure.
This method restores confidence and performance to the current system, and by reducing the
system pressure, achieves energy savings through a corresponding reduction in fan power.
Programmable thermostats can be used to specify an automatic reduction in temperature overnight.
Typical savings are 2% of the heating bill for every 1°C that the temperature is reduced overnight.
Motor Efficiency Upgrade
As a motor approaches its expected useful life (EUL), its efficiency drops. Premium efficiency
motors are available at approximately 15-30% above the cost of a standard motor. The efficient
motors yield energy savings, and should be chosen when replacing the original motors. The energy
savings associated with the installation of premium efficiency motors depends on many factors such
as size, efficiency, and hours of operation. Typical savings range from 2-30% electricity
consumption savings, depending on the type and size.
Building Automation System (BAS) Implementation
A BAS system offers one of the best returns on investment. Energy savings are achieved by the
greater level of control available through the BAS, allowing building managers to optimize the
21
TOWN OF MILTON
ENVIRONMENT, CONSERVATION AND DEMAND ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN
various building systems. Additional benefits include improved indoor comfort and reduced response
time for service calls. Typical energy savings achieved through the implementation of a BAS are
5-15%.
Plumbing Fixture Upgrades
Plumbing fixtures typically consist of high-flow water closets (13.5 LPF), high-flow urinals (8.3
LPF), and high-flow aerators (8.3 LPM). It is recommended to replace the high-flow fixtures
with their low-flow equivalents: water closets (6 LPF), urinals (3.8 LPF), and aerators (1.4
LPM).
Typical natural gas tank water heaters perform at efficiencies of 70-75%. New condensing water
heaters offer efficiencies of 95%, which would result in significant energy savings. New electric
heat pump water heaters use the heat in the surrounding environment to raise the water
temperature, resulting in half the energy use of a standard electric water heater. Due to the heat
pump system, these heaters have special space considerations, and will increase the heating load
in the winter, but decrease the cooling load in the summer. Another issue is that tank water
heaters are subject to standby losses since they store a large quantity of hot water even when
not in use, continually losing heat to the surrounding environment. Instantaneous water heaters do
not have a tank and only provide hot water when required, therefore eliminating the standby
losses.
Domestic hot water is continually recirculated throughout a building in order to reduce the waiting
time between opening a faucet and hot water delivery. Heat is continually being lost to the
environment through the hot water piping. By implementing domestic hot water recirculation controls,
the recirculation pump can be shut off when hot water is not needed, for example, during the
night. While the water in the pipes is warm, heat is still lost to the environment, but once the
water reaches the ambient temperature, no further heat transfer occurs. In this way, energy
savings are achieved by stopping the heat transfer, instead of continuing to recirculate hot water

TOWN OF MILTON
ENVIRONMENT, CONSERVATION AND DEMAND ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION V
IMPLEMENTATION
OVERSIGHT
A multidisciplinary staff-based Steering Committee was established to oversee the development of
this plan.
It is recommended that this Committee continue to meet on a monthly basis to
continue to manage the development and execution of the action plans.
This Committee is
comprised of representative from:
 Community Services;

Corporate Services;

Engineering Services

Planning Development;

Executive Services, and

Fire Department.
RENEWAL CYCLE AND REPORTING
This is the first version of the ECDMP. It is recommended that the GEA portion of the Plan be
updated annually to comply with reporting requirements. The complete energy portion of the Plan
has to be updated on or before July 1st, every fifth anniversary.
The environmental action plans included in the ECDMP are all recommended to be implemented
within two years. Therefore, the Plan will need to be reviewed and refreshed by the end of
2014.
In addition, one of the action plans is a recommendation to report annually on the Town’s
progress with environmental action.
MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT
As the five year ECDMP is implemented, accurate accounting of energy demand and consumption
will be required to sustainably satisfy the annual GEA reporting regimen. In addition to satisfying
reporting requirements, monitoring and measuring consumption will allow the town to communicate
successes to staff and residents.
Monitoring and measurement can be satisfied in a number of ways. By far the simplest means
would be monthly recording of utility billing data. Billing data can be managed using a simple
spreadsheet database, or using a more complex and feature rich environment such as the Energy
36
TOWN OF MILTON
ENVIRONMENT, CONSERVATION AND DEMAND ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN
Management Tool (EMT)2 developed by Local Authority Services (LAS) of the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).
More complex energy accounting may be necessary using remote power meters, data loggers and
an enterprise based Energy Management Information System (EMIS). Such an enterprise system
could be integrated with the LAS EMT system or act alone.
The data collected, logged and
stored can be used to report progress, justify additional expenditures, and verify results for Council
as well as any third party funding agencies.
RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS
Resource implications, where required, are noted within the action plan tables.
The actions in the plan are staggered for implementation over a two year time frame
(environmental) and a five year time frame (energy).
<Once the action plans are confirmed, final resource estimates will be included for the five year
planning horizon>
