  12. Screening Assessment Report

  13. Detailed Energy Assessments • Whole Building System Energy Analysis • Identifies Opportunities • Prioritizes upgrades • Helps you understand the Cost / Benefit • Your plan for implementation

  14. Your Barriers to Implementation • What stands in your way of improving building energy efficiency? • Can TAME Buildings Initiative address your barriers? • How could we improve TAME Buildings Initiative to better serve your needs? • Send your feedback to contact@mccac.ca. • Or post in chat window

  15. Introducing Les Quinton Parks and Recreation Manager for Town of Black Diamond Case Study: Oilfields Regional Arena

  16. The Black Diamond Approach • GOAL: Clean, safe, mechanically sound and lasting facilities • Planning for the future with sustainable solutions today • Responsibility to the taxpayers to properly utilize funds provided and protect the environment

  17. Common Sense Cost Reduction • 1st place to look is facility operations • Identify areas of waste and find way to eliminate it • Research potential projects for: • Meeting our operational needs • 5 year payback or, • Positive environmental and municipal impact

  18. Planning and Monitoring • Keep records to monitor progress • Compare our results to others • Plan ahead for financing • Save up for a big purchase • Utilize grants whenever possible

  19. Lighting upgrades • Installed T8, 32 watt lamps • 400 watt pulse start multi vapour over ice surface • LED lighting for signs • LED indoor and outdoor lighting

  20. Better Operations, Better Building • Regular maintenance schedules • Scheduling refrigerator overhaul • Defining Staff duties and practices • Not in use? Turn it off

  21. Insulation and Timers • Re-insulated outside walls • Installed low-e insulating ceiling • Reduced refrigerator run time • Night Setback thermostats on furnaces

  22. Water Conservation • Showers fitted with motion sensors • Installed low flow shower heads and toilets • Changes to ice resurfacing system • Cut overall water consumption by half

  23. Water Conservation

  24. Refrigerator Upgrades • Bypass installed to lessen start-up load • Larger expansion valve • Overall decrease in run time • Overall decrease in run time per hour of paid ice time

  25. Refrigerator Run Time

  26. Generate your own power! • Electricity is our biggest (and costliest) utility • On site power with no distribution fees • 40-49% of our bill is distribution charges • Right move for the environment • Steady decrease in solar system costs • Paybacks slow but improving

  27. Solar and Wind • 2006 Alberta Municipal Solar Showcase • Reduce grid power consumption • 1.81 kilowatt system • Angle adjustable for optimal winter and summer sun • Strong performance on solar • Installed 2 wind turbines

  28. Solar Generation

  29. In-floor Heating • Addition of 2 outdoor rinks • Change rooms use in-floor heating • 2400 sq ft building cost $1242 to heat air and water

  30. Projects this year • Replaced old furnaces with efficient models • Surge protectors on electrical panels • Reduced consumption, extended life • Solar system expansion • 1.4 kilowatt this year, toward 7.81 kilowatt overall

  31. Annual Power Consumption

  32. Future Projects • Flood room melting pit • Underground storage of snow melt • Pre-heat with solar and use for ice re-surfacing • Pellet boiler for heating flood water • Air motors for circulating pumps • LED lights over ice surface • Computer controls for refrigerator
