Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan 2019 2019 Energy Conservation & Demand Management Plan Executive Summary The purpose of this Energy Conservation and Demand Management (ECDM) Plan is to outline specific actions and measures that will promote good environmental stewardship and community resource management in the years to come. The Plan will accomplish this, in part, by looking at future projections of energy consumption and reviewing past conservation measures. THP is committed to sustainability and stronger communities. This ECDM outlines how the hospital will reduce overall energy consumption, operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. By following the measures outlined in this document, we will be able to provide compassionate service to more people in the community. This ECDM Plan is written in accordance with sections 4, 5, and 6 of the recently amended Electricity Act, 1998, O. Reg. 507/18. Through past conservation and demand initiatives, THP has achieved the following results since 2013: 1,661,931 m3 reduction in natural gas use >1% reduction in the organization’s total energy use since 2013 Today, utility and energy related costs are a significant part of overall operating costs and planning. In 2018 we achieved: An Energy Use Index (EUI) of 62 ekWh/ft2 which is lower than the Ontario average of 63 ekWh/ft2 Energy-related emissions equaled 19,066 tCO2e To obtain full value from energy management activities, THP will take a strategic approach by fully integrating energy management into its business decision-making, policies and operating procedures. This active management of energy-related costs and risks will provide a significant economic return and will support other key organizational objectives. With a prominent focus on energy management, we can expect to achieve the following targets by 2024: ~ 2% reduction in electricity consumption ~ 10 % reduction in natural gas consumption 1,572 tCO2e reduction of energy-related emissions Approved By: Paul Soares Director, Facilities, Parking & Security June 24, 2019 Energy Conservation and Demand Management | 1 Contents Executive Summary ....................................................................................................................................... 1 1.

  • BUILDER CONTRACT AWARDED for TWO NEW LONG-TERM CARE HOMES in MISSISSAUGA Accelerated Build Targeting Completion in Early 2022
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BUILDER CONTRACT AWARDED FOR TWO NEW LONG-TERM CARE HOMES IN MISSISSAUGA Accelerated build targeting completion in early 2022 Mississauga, ON (December 17, 2020) Today, Infrastructure Ontario and Trillium Health Partners (THP) awarded a construction management contract to EllisDon to design and build two new long- term care (LTC) homes on Speakman Drive in Mississauga. The project is designed to address the current lack of access to long-term care in this community and add capacity in hospitals where many patients are waiting for long-term care placement. The number of seniors is set to triple by 2031 and Mississauga has 20% fewer LTC beds per capita than the provincial average. This project is part of the Ontario Government’s Accelerated Build Pilot Program, which aims to deliver new long-term care homes years sooner than traditional development projects through the use of hospital-owned land, rapid procurement and modular construction. The long-term care homes are targeted for completion within 14 months of construction beginning in December. EllisDon was selected as the successful proponent as the result of a two-stage competitive and accelerated procurement process. EllisDon is a leading health care builder and service provider with over 500 health care build projects across the globe. The two new long-term care homes will have capacity for 320 and 312 beds respectively, and will be built with the latest standards for long-term care home design, including best practices for infection prevention and control. This project will address the current lack of access to long-term care in this community and add capacity in hospitals where many patients are waiting for long-term care placement.
