Strategies / Comments

NRCan has developed an initiative titled, Low Carbon NRCan, to contribute to the departmental commitment of meeting the specific goals outlined in the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS). The primary focus of the initiative is to reduce energy consumption at the 17 building sites that currently produce about 94% of NRCan’s total GHG emissions. To ensure it has the largest possible impact across the organization, it also focuses on IT and the workplace.

The initiative means, among other things, there will be site-specific energy management plans; space consolidation; a reduction in the number of printers; server consolidation; building retrofits; certifying NRCan’s larger existing facilities to BOMA BESt environmental system and undertaking an ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard Pilot Project.

In addition to the Low Carbon NRCan initiative, the department has an implementation strategy for “FSDS Targets 8.1-8.4. The strategy defines targets to be achieved and the scope of projects included.

 Specifically, for Target 8.1 the proposed strategy is to:

1. Assess these types of projects using Athena’s Life Cycle Assessment tool (i.e. embodied effects)
2. Require energy simulation results (i.e. operating effects)
3. Commit to meeting Green Globes Design 3 Globes for new buildings.

Buildings larger than 1,000 m2 and costing more than $1M will be within scope. If the application of Green Globes Design is deemed inappropriate, due to the special nature of the department’s facilities, a justification will be placed on file.

8.2 As of April 1, 2012, and pursuant to departmental strategic frameworks, existing crown buildings over 1000 m² will be assessed for environmental performance using an industry-recognized assessment tool^{Footnote 2}.

In 2011-12, NRCan began a pilot of the ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard Pilot Project in the building sector by developing and implementing an energy management system for one of its buildings. The first year of the three-year pilot shows a 4% reduction in building emissions.

In addition to the department's LoC initiative, the department has an implementation strategy for meeting FSDS Targets 8.1-8.4. The strategy defines targets to be achieved and the scope of projects included. Specifically, for Target 8.2 the proposed strategy is to:

1. Minimum level of assessment: BOMA BESt Level 1
2. The appropriate threshold (dollar value or floor area): 1000 m2 
3. Applicable building types:  All NRCan-owned buildings over 1000 m2, excluding sheds, garages or warehouses
4. Industry recognized assessment tool used: BOMA BESt

Level achieved: Two buildings achieved BOMA BESt Level 3.  They include:

• CanmetENERGY Varennes Research Centre, Varennes, QC
• Laurentian Forestry Centre, Sainte-Foy, QC

Six buildings achieved Level 2.  They include:

• 555 Booth Street, Ottawa, ON
• 2617 Anderson Road (Geomatics Administration and Laboratories Building), Ottawa, ON
• Building 1, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, ON
• Building 3, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, ON
• Building 7, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, ON
• Pacific Forestry Centre, Victoria, BC

 The remainder of the department's inventory will be assessed by FY 2013/14.
Whether certification was sought: Yes (all buildings certified by third party)
Rationale for traffic light indicator selected: Department is on track to achieve the target, as per departmental strategic framework.

The above is Low Carbon NRCan initiative.

8.3 As of April 1, 2012, and pursuant to departmental strategic frameworks, new lease or lease renewal projects over 1000m², where the Crown is the major lessee, will be assessed for environmental performance using an industry-recognized assessment tool^{Footnote 3}.

In addition to the department's LoC initiative, the department has an implementation strategy for meeting FSDS Targets 8.1-8.4. The strategy defines targets to be achieved and the scope of projects included. Specifically, for target 8.3 the proposed strategy is to:

Where lease or lease renewal options are being considered (e.g. where the Crown is anticipating changing landlords), bidders must submit LCA results for their leased space (structural materials and finishes). The Athena LCA Impact Estimator tool allows the user to input energy simulation results to calculate operating effects alongside embodied effects. These energy simulation results will be required.  The lease with the lowest energy simulation results, within available resources, will be chosen.

This does not apply to PWGSC occupancy instruments.

NRCan has two leases within the next 5 years that will require renewal. The nature of these agreements (MoU with provincial organizations and/or lease agreements that are in support of a research agreement) are such that a change in location/landlord is unlikely. Nonetheless, as with all real property agreements, due diligence and options analysis will be carried out.

Rationale for traffic light indicator selected: Strategic framework that outlines considerations for this target has been completed.

The above lease is the department's lease for its new CANMET Materials building at 183 Longwood Road South in the McMaster Innovation Park. The lease started in 2009 and the building is anticipated to be certified LEED platinum. Completion of the certification process is anticipated in FY 12/13.  

** Renewal of the land lease associated with the department’s Prince Albert Satellite Station was mistakenly added. The lease agreement is for the land only, not the building the department built on the land.  Although not considered a Crown-Owned building, it is considered a departmental asset and is being addressed under target 8.2.

8.4 As of April 1, 2012, and pursuant to departmental strategic frameworks, fit-up and refit projects will achieve an industry-recognized level of high environmental performance^{Footnote 4}.

No new projects within this category have been identified.

Rationale for traffic light indicator selected: Strategic framework that outlines considerations for this target has been completed.

Since the last RPP, the scope of projects to be included in this category has been refined. The list of projects initially submitted was the full list of RP Capital and Repair projects for the department's national capital region inventory. The nature and cost of these projects is such that they are not within scope and should not have been reported.  Nonetheless, all but three of the identified projects have or are currently being implemented. The remaining three, projects for the commissioning of various reports, will be considered for funding during this year's building management plan process.

NRCan also assists other Canadian federal organizations (departments, agencies and Crown corporations) in making energy efficiency improvements through the Federal Buildings Initiative, which is identified as a best practice under the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy.  Administered by the Office of Energy Efficiency, the program offers an array of services to assists Government of Canada organizations in reducing the energy consumption of their facilities.  It includes training, preliminary energy audits, access to consultants, and support for implementing energy efficiency upgrades that lead to reduced energy and water use, GHG emissions and operating costs.  In 2011-12, the program assisted 5 government departments in developing Energy Performance Contract projects, which finance energy efficiency retrofits of facilities.

8.5 The federal government will take action now to reduce levels of greenhouse gas emissions from its operations to match the national target of 17% below 2005 by 2020.

Strategies / Comments

Targeted GHG emissions sources include buildings and fleet. NRCan’s buildings account for approximately 96% of the departmental GHG emissions.  Fleet accounts for the remaining 4%.

Excluded emission sources are some observatories, seismographic stations, field stations and other remote areas.

Buildings

1. Emission reductions since 2005-06 are due to several initiatives such as the implementation of projects in 2009-10 and 2010-11 via the Accelerated Infrastructure Program (e.g., lighting upgrades, roof upgrades/replacements, envelope sealing/upgrades, chiller and boiler replacements, etc.), annual BMP projects, sector-funded energy reduction projects as well as implementation of various activities under the Low Carbon (LoC) NRCan Initiative.
    
2. The LoC NRCan Initiative was approved by the Deputy Minister in September 2010 and includes many activities to reduce GHG emissions such as:
   • Energy retrofit projects
   • Recommissioning and Continuous Building Optimization
   • Piloting the implementation of the ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard at one facility in Bells Corners
   • IT projects (e.g., desktop hibernation for all NRCan computers and printer device reduction)
   • Clean technologies demonstration projects
   • Workspace consolidation
   • Employee engagement and energy awareness training
      
3. Base year emissions reported in FY 2011-12 RPP have been recalculated due to discovery of missing utility information.
    
4. Rationale for traffic light indicator selected – As per the mandatory implementation strategies for target 8.5 in the FSDS, the department has:
   • Reported (and adjusted as required) baseline GHG emissions.
   • Set a departmental GHG reduction target
   • Developed and put into action an implementation plan (via the LoC NRCan Initiative) to achieve the departmental GHG reduction target.

Fleet

1. NRCan is dramatically reducing its vehicle inventory as it focuses on innovative strategies to reduce employee reliance on ground transportation. These strategies include limiting vehicle travel to meetings by utilizing advanced video conferencing technologies. By limiting travel, it is projected that NRCan's vehicle fleet will have been reduced by as much as 65% (by the end of fiscal year 2012-13) since its inception as a department in 1995 (700 vehicles to 245).
2. Only vehicles required to deliver specialized program related tasks will remain as part of NRCan's inventory. These vehicles will adhere to strict retention parameters that are best suited to enhance environmental efficiency and reduce costs.
3. Any new vehicle acquisitions will meet the standard of being the most fuel efficient within the required class, further reducing its environmental impact.

 

8.6 By March 31, 2014, each department will reuse or recycle all surplus electronic and electrical equipment (EEE) in an environmentally sound and secure manner.

Performance Measure		RPP	DPR

Strategies / Comments

1. Our department’s EEE implementation plan (Departmental E-waste Plan) includes all of the required elements (e.g., reuse and recycle of surplus equipment), as per the mandatory implementation strategies listed in the GGO targets table.
2. All NRCan locations across Canada (16 facilities) are part of the EEE implementation plan.
3. All disposals are subject to the recommendation of the Departmental Assets Manager, who ensures compliance with the Departmental E-waste Plan.
4. Rationale for the traffic light indicator selected: Department has achieved 100% of locations with an EEE implementation plan fully implemented

NRCan has developed an initiative titled, Low Carbon NRCan, to contribute to the departmental commitment of meeting the specific goals outlined in the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS). The primary focus of the initiative is to reduce energy consumption at the 17 building sites that currently produce about 94% of NRCan’s total GHG emissions. To ensure it has the largest possible impact across the organization, it also focuses on IT and the workplace.

The initiative means, among other things, there will be site-specific energy management plans; space consolidation; a reduction in the number of printers; server consolidation; building retrofits; certifying NRCan’s larger existing facilities to BOMA BESt environmental system and undertaking an ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard Pilot Project.

Through NRCan’s Business Transformation Committee (BTC), the Department was able to implement its Printer Optimization Strategy and achieve its goal of an 8:1 ratio.

1. Definition: desktop printers, networked printers, multifunctional devices, photocopiers and  faxes.
2. Exceptions : duty to accommodate, security and lab spaces. Also specialized equipment which included plotters, label makers and dot matrix printers.
3. Method used for determining number of printer units: CIO Branch uses software that finds all printers in use on the network and local to computers. Also physical inventory was completed for all devices.
4. Method used for determining number of office employees: Number of active email user accounts.
5. Number of office employees subject to the target: 5927 office employees (includes seasonal staff, visiting scientists, students, etc.)
6. Rationale for the traffic light indicator selected: Department has achieved the target. 

8.8 By March 31, 2014, each department will reduce internal paper consumption per office employee by 20%. Each department will establish a baseline between 2005–2006 and 2011–2012, and applicable scope.

Strategies / Comments

1. NRCan is currently establishing an internal paper consumption baseline.
2. Method for determining paper consumption will be based on tonnage of paper recycled per annum.
3. Method used for determining number of office employees: Number of active email user accounts.
4. Number of office employees subject to the target: 5927 office employees (includes seasonal staff, visiting scientists, students, etc.).
5. Certain reduction initiatives occurred prior to baseline year; e.g.: Double sided printing set as default printer setting.
6. Rationale for the traffic light indicator selected: Department is on track for meeting the target.
7. This target must be realized through the individual actions of NRCan employees who are not limited by the organization in the amount of paper that they are individually allocated. The department already has a number of guidelines and campaigns (e.g., green meeting initiative) which promote the sourcing of paper from certified sustainable sources. In addition, NRCan is exploring new activities that may have an impact on the printing and paper consumption habits of NRCan employees (e.g., executive tablet trial)

1. By March 31, 2014, 100% of vehicles purchased annually are right sized for operational needs and are the most fuel efficient vehicle in its class in the Government Motor Vehicle Ordering Guide and/or are an alternative fuel vehicle.

Progress against measure in the given fiscal year.	100%	100%

Strategies / Comments

NRCan is in the process of dramatically reducing the size of its vehicle inventory. The departments reliance on vehicles, as a ground transportation source, to attend meetings and participate in all other forms of non-essential travel will be minimized. As a result, the department will limit its vehicle holdings to include specialized vehicles only. These vehicles are essential to the delivery of departmental programs and are not readily accessible from the private vehicle sector. All of these remaining vehicles are either the most fuel efficient available within the required class or operate on alternative fuel. When they are due for replacement, the new vehicle purchased will represent the most fuel efficient vehicle available within the required class ( as defined within PWGSC's vehicle ordering guide) or operate on alternative fuel (as mandated by NRCan's Fleet Policy).

Dollar value of vehicles that meet the target relative to total dollar value of all vehicles in the Department.

Number of vehicles that meet the target relative to total number of all vehicles in the Department.
Exclusions may include executive vehicles.

This target requires that criteria to identify when a vehicle is right-sized are defined.

It requires the availability of inventory counts / assets management data for reporting, but does not require the availability of procurement data.

Consideration must be taken when setting the percentage for the target to ensure that vehicles will not need to be prematurely disposed of to meet the target.

Why this self selected green procurement training target is SMART:

1.  Specific: Refers to specific nature/type of training and target audience
2. Measurable: Information is available from regional procurement personnel (HR-related) files (An electronic certificate is issued upon completion of the training.)
3. Achievable: Training is “learner friendly”: easily accessible, i.e. online (24/7).
4. Relevant: In-house training used: Canada School of Public Service course on Green Procurement (C215)
5. Time-bound: Date established for target completion, i.e. 100% (March 31, 2014)

Other reporting considerations:
The Green Procurement training implementation experience in NCR will be used as a model to follow for implementation of such training in regions.

As part of the NRCan Regional Organization Review, a “procurement” Regional Functional Working Group has been established, with a Procurement Regional Functional Head as the lead. The Regional Functional Head will be responsible for tracking progress against the green procurement training target.
