Natural Resources Canada – Community Energy Systems • Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per capita will be reduced by 16 per cent below 1996 levels. • Cumulative savings on energy dollars spent in the community will be approximately $10 million between 1996 and 2016. Source: Sheltair Scientific Inc. Community Energy Planning for Revelstoke B.C. Tel.: (604) 732- 9106. - Case study: Town of Banff, AB The Town Banff developed a community energy plan. It includes the development of building design guidelines, a transportation management plan and a local action plan. The plan, if implemented, would have significant results. • Household energy expenditures would be reduced by 7 per cent. • Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per capita would be reduced by 20 per cent below 1998 levels. • Cumulative savings on energy dollars spent in the community would be approximately 20 millions dollars between 1996 and 2016.

It is to be issued. Source: Sheltair. Community Energy Planning in Whistler http://www.sheltair.com/library/Infrastructure/whistler%20cep%20handout.pdf. For additional information, contact Sheltair (604) 732-9106. - Case study: Sudbury, ON The City of Sudbury is developing a Community Energy Action Plan. It focuses on site design, land-use patterns and transportation policy. It is to be issued. For additional information, contact Barb McDougall-Murdoch (705) 674-4455 ext. 4690. - Case study: Portland, OR, USA The City of Portland’s Community Efficiency Energy Plan comprises a suite of energyconservation programs. It includes a number of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional programs. The Smart Communities Success Story indicates significant results. • Energy cost savings identified are $1.2 million (US); cost savings realized are $710,000 (US). • Energy savings are 14.2 million kWh. • Jobs Created are over 100. • Environmental benefits are NOx emissions avoided of 9,096 lbs.; CO2 emissions avoided are 12,780,000 lbs.

For a copy of the plan, see http://www.sustainableportland.org/eeplan.pdf - Case study: San Jose, CA, USA The City of San Jose designed and implemented an energy management program. These reductions are to be achieved through the incorporation of energy-efficient technologies (including solar design features) in new construction and through the installation of highefficiency lighting in existing fixtures. In addition, San Jose expanded its programs in waste management and recycling, water conservation and pollution prevention. The Smart Communities Success Story indicates significant results. • Due to energy conservation investments, San Jose saves $7 million (US) annually on its energy bill. • Carbon dioxide emissions have been reduced by 50,000 tons per year. • Recycling has tripled in area households from 6.7 to 16.7 pounds per week. • Garbage sent to landfills has been reduced by 45 per cent.

The goals of the strategy deal with public policy, electrical supply and infrastructure capacity; electricity demand; natural gas supply, infrastructure capacity and costs; and, transportation energy supply and demand. The plan won the Competition for Metropolitan Energy Design for being the most integrated and comprehensive approach to sustainable energy planning among the competing U.S. municipalities. For additional information, contact http://www.sdenergy.org/ - Case study: Vancouver, BC B.C. Hydro's Lower Mainland Electricity Choices program has developed a community energy planning orientation. It works with municipalities and considers local demandside management, site-based energy and low-energy community design as alternatives to substation and transmission line development.
