Natural Resources Canada – Community Energy Systems EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A Community Energy Plan is a high level schedule that offers a community the ability to retain continuity and consistency between its many, more detailed documents and programs. Its presence should simplify the development of the Official Plan and the secondary plans that support by describing the many interactions between those plans. The Community Energy Plan considers the use of energy as the critical currency for the planning process, driving the decision making process towards the goal of a reduced energy footprint. The impact of energy use within a community extends beyond the consumption of gas, oil, and electricity in heating, cooling, and transportation to include the effect of spatial design and embedded resources within the built environment. This document is the third in a series of documents that are intended to aid communities in developing a long-term strategy. The intent is to empower the community and reduce the dependence on outside consultants. The members of the community are the best people to determine the future of their locality and by working steadily through these documents may understand the process and purpose of plan development Volume 1 discusses the concept of Community Energy Planning and its relationship with existing planning process. The document also discusses sustainability and its definition in terms of communities. Volume 2 details the process of developing the Community Energy Plan, allowing communities to educate themselves with the process and thereby achieve a greater level of community buy-in. The support of the community at large is essential for any community plan to be successful. Volume 3 contains ideas and examples of initiatives that have been undertaken throughout Canada and the world, focusing on the reduction of energy and greenhouse gas emissions. They can be used to form the basis for further programs and projects Draft 4/11/2005 7
