- Case study: Town of Banff, AB<br />
The Town Banff developed a community energy plan. It includes the development of<br />
building design guidelines, a transportation management plan and a local action plan.<br />
The plan, if implemented, would have significant results.<br />
• Household energy expenditures would be reduced by 7 per cent.<br />
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per capita would be reduced by 20 per cent<br />
below 1998 levels.<br />
• Cumulative savings on energy dollars spent in the community would be<br />
approximately 20 millions dollars between 1996 and 2016.<br />
