Ontario Regulation 507/18 Energy Audit and Environmental Implementation Plan Complainace Program: The Greenprint

Ontario Regulation 507/18 requires that all broader public sector entities prepare, publish, make available to the public and implement energy conservation and demand management plans.

This regulation applies to:

• Municipalities
• Public Universities and Colleges
• Schools
• Hospitals

Public agencies are required to submit:

• Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions template
• Opportunity to report on previous energy conservation initiatives
• Energy conservation and demand management plans
• Detail costs and estimated savings for all proposed Energy Conservation Measures
• Updated Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions
• Benchmark facilities
• Updated building characteristics

An updated version of the Greenhouse Gas template must be submitted every year, on or before July 1^st. Full Energy Conservation Plan revisions were due July 1, 2019 and every five years thereafter.

The Problem with these requirements are:

• They can be complicated and convoluted
• They require calculations not easily determined
• The plan is long-term and must be consistently upgrade and updated
• The report must be posted on the public agency’s website and must be approved at the senior administration level
• There is a large requirement for Monitoring and Verification (M&V)
