  1. A Brighter Tomorrow ! Advancing LED Lighting in Buildings October 15, 2013 Toronto Community Housing

  2. Municipal Housing Company - An Ontario Business Corporation - Sole Shareholder: City of Toronto. 58,600 units, home to 164,000 low and moderate-income tenants Over 200 high-rise and mid-rise apartments , 1,000 townhouse complexes and 1,000 scattered houses , average age of the housing stock over 35 years Annual Utility and Water cost around $120 Million Toronto Community Housing

  3. Strategic Energy Plan: Energy Management Action Plan Energy Strategy Demand Side Mgt. Supply Side Mgt. Reduce Amount of Energy Purchased Reduce Avoidable Energy Waste Reduce Unit Cost of Energy (Gas, Electricity and Water) Energy Audit Improve Efficiency • Replace or modify Equipment to more energy efficient Find & Eliminate • Recurring waste e.g. poor practice Reduce Unexpected Waste • Through monitoring • And targeting Effective Procurement • Ensure energy commodities • bought at best value and billing • errors corrected

  4. LightSavers Parking Garage Pilot Project : 2009-10

  5. Before Retrofit : HPS lighting

  6. After Retrofit : LED Lighting

  7. Before retrofit : HPS Lighting

  8. Post Retrofit : LED

  9. Post-retrofit: LED garage lighting

  10. For the LED lights, power usage was reduced by 74% which will result in annual energy savings of $61 per fixture*. For the florescent T8 lights, power usage was reduced by 70% which will result in annual energy savings of $58 per fixture*. An estimated 20 year lifespan with minimal maintenance requirements is expected to result in significant maintenance savings. The greenhouse gas emissions avoided will be approximately 197 kg eCO2/LED fixture/yr and 187 kg eCO2/T8 fixture/yr**.*Assumes $0.10/kWh **Based on 0.242 kg eCO2/kWh Results of Pilot Project

  11. Economic Performance for End of Life or New Construction Scenario

  12. Economic Performance for Early Replacement Scenario

  13. Resident reaction to Pilot was undertaken through four focus groups sessions and questionnaires were completed and analysed Sense of Personal Safety goes up Reduced vandalism noted Perceived the new LED lights to be brighter than T8 and old HPS Motion sensors enhanced sense of personal safety Residents Feedback and Perception

  14. LED Trials to Scale Up Projects 2010-2011 LED lighting Program- completed 15 sites , 4ft LED tubes and 2x4 ft LED fixtures with tubes , total investment over $1.5 M 2012 LED lighting Program – completed 9 sites over $2 M 2013-4 LED Lighting Program – expand to include 80 sites with targeted investment of $ 7 M

  15. Escalating utility and operating costs : 9 % per annum Ageing facilities and equipment: 40 years old and capital backlog Investment opportunity : financing and debt service Technology breakthrough : SSL and Controls Safety and security concerns: residents issues Environmental attributes: green goal 40% CO2 reduction by 2020 Investment Grade Feasibility Study – technical and financial Options Appraisals – life cycle cost analysis Competitive pricing for retrofit LED tubes and controls Government incentives and goals Risk Assessment : technology , safety and health hazard, financial Code compliance and changes: adaptive lighting and controls Business Case Drivers

  16. How Projects are financed Government grants: NRCan, CMHC, FMC, OPA, City Sustainable Energy Fund, TAF Low-interest Loan: Infrastructure Ontario, FMC, City of Toronto Bond and loan from commercial banks Utility incentives : Toronto Hydro ( OPA) Reduced Operating , fuel and maintenance costs – life cycle cost analysis ESCO Model : Performance Contracting , ESPA

  17. Technology maturing : SSL and controls Standards : national and local codes ( cUL,CSA, Energy Star rating ) Competitive pricing : $1000 to $300 and below installed cost Adaptive lighting controls : City of Toronto Municipal Codes and property standards now permit the use in common corridors, garage, laundry rooms and storage rooms ( but not in stairwells and lobby ) Key Barriers Overcome

  18. Ongoing performance monitoring and measurement Further development needed in Adaptive lighting technology and controls application Further Technology advances to maintain and extend LED useable life span Outdoor LED lighting and retrofit challenges for cost effectiveness Government support and leadership New Challenges
