Town of Banff Local Action Plan Initiative 6: PROVIDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY PRODUCTS FOR THE COMMUNITY Description: There are three options in carrying out this initiative: 1. Set up a Town of Banff Energy Office where residents can purchase these items (this option should be pursued if the Town sets up a revolving fund – see separate profile) 2. Set up a virtual shop on the TSB web portal, or 3. Work with local hardware stores such as Standish Home Hardware to stock these items Overview & timeline: Before proceeding with this initiative, the Town will have to select a preferred approach. There are a number of case studies to review in deciding upon the right approach for Banff (see below). When a delivery method has been selected the Town should evaluate which products will most effectively contribute to the town’s energy and broader sustainability goals. Recommended products include programmable thermostats, compact fluorescent lights and indoor water efficiency kits. The City of Calgary through its On-line program purchases these items for sale to residents. The Town should contact Calgary to source potential suppliers. Responsibility: Environmental Manager Ease of Implementation: Capital / Development Costs: On-going/ Operational Costs: Options 1 and 2 would be fairly difficult to implement, while Option 3 would be easy. There would be capital costs associated with Option 1 to set up the office (Medium to High). Option 2 would require a capital investment to contract a web site designer to set up the on-line sales. (Medium). There would be no capital costs associated with Option 3. Option 1 would require ongoing staffing to manage the office and to handle store front sales, thus costs would be at least $60,000 per year. (High) Resourcing costs associated with Option 2 could be incorporated into the TSB web portal initiative costs (see Initiative # 8), but additional staff time would be required to distribute items sold, which could represent a cost of anywhere from $5,000-$10,000 per year, depending on total sales. (Medium) Tasks associated with Option 3 could be incorporated into existing responsibilities. Pay-back: Each household could potentially save $50 per year on energy bills through conversion of at least six incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescents (CFLs) and through use of a programmable thermostat. The total capital cost would be $125 for the programmable thermostat (purchase and installation). The the purchase price of a CFL is about $10 more per bulb than an incandescents, however the incremental cost is negligible, considering that CFLs last 10 times longer. Thus payback would be achieved in less than three years. GHG emission reduction potential Low: If 1% of households (about 30 homes) were to replace 6 incandescents with CFLs and install a programmable thermostat, the total reduction in GHG would be about 20 tonnes per year. Other benefits: • Reduced energy consumption and expenditures for homeowners • Improved comfort of homes Funding Opportunities: None available The Sheltair Group Page Sept 2003 80
