3.  Aging infrastructure UBC’s four boilers were installed in 1950, 1960, 1962 and 1969. One boiler has reached the end of its useful life, two others have approximately seven years of reliable useful life remaining  Carbon Tax and Bill 44 offsets Additional operating liability $3.1M by 2012  Increasingly volatile Natural Gas prices. Average annual real increase of 5% over the past 40 years and 10% over the past 9 years.

4.  UBC Energy Management Plan Reduce consumption of energy and water ○ Technology ○ Optimization ○ Behaviour Reduce intensity of power consumption Diminishing returns will eventually dictate a new energy platform  UBC Climate Action Plan Demand side to supply side initiatives ○ ElecTrek → EcoTrek → AESP De-couple GHG emissions from energy consumption to align goals of research intensity and conservation.

5.  Large potential for faculty and student engagement in research topics: e.g.behavioral aspects of DSM, lifecycle costing and analysis, commercialization potential  Direct links-CIRS research & partnership program: UBC as centre of excellence on sustainable buildings and planning  Integrated approach to campus: connects operations and academic sustainability - a key recommendation of SAS report

6.  Land consumption  Environmental and social impacts  Neighbouring community impacts

7. Process to arrive at this point  Spring 2008 - EOI to solicit those interested: Proprietary Responses – No Objective opinion Consultant to Establish 3 rd Party Feasibility for Alt Energy To cover - Options; Policy; Budget; Master Plan  Fall 2008 - RFP prep & selection for Consultant: Appointment of Stantec Spring 2009  Stantec to provide two stages of report: Phase 1: master plan and long list down to short list Phase 2: Options ID and Screen of preferred options. Winter 2010 Feasibility Study complete

8.  Minimize Carbon Emissions  Minimize Energy Demand  Meet Current/Future Energy Demand at Lowest LCC  Minimize disruption and cost to users  Pay for Implementation thru avoided annual cost  Generate Net Positive Cash Flow  Surplus cash returned to University  Compatible with Future energy options campus wide

9.  Phase 1: Project Initiation and Master Plan  Phase 1 – Step 1: Demand side management opportunities Long list of supply options  Phase 1 – Step 2: Detailed technical, financial and environmental review of short-listed demand and supply options  Phase 2 – Step 3: Preferred option Conclusions and recommendations

10.  Heating and Electricity Loads  Demand Side Management  Options – Long List and Short List  Usitall’s Visit/Review  Implementation

11.  Purpose. To engage the UBC community to help identify the most appropriate technology to reduce the Vancouver Point Grey Campus Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and overall energy demand.  Current Status. Top 4 winners have been selected. Celebration Ceremony to take place on the 10 th of Sep. at the Old Barn community center.

12.  Study will provide Recommended solution(s) Timeline for implementation High level feasibility financial plan to complete the work Recommendations for policy based on economic criteria
