A lot of the training is from architects and mechanical engineers. We're learning about leakage from buildings, how they're designed, heat pumps, air-conditioning units and steam absorbers, chiller that use steam to reduce electrical demand," said [Sandy Milat], who is taking the program with 50 other UBC employers as part of the university's ecotrek initiative to reduce energy, water use and greenhouse gas emissions. According to UBC, the ecotrek project, which involves rebuilding and retrofitting the infrastructure of nearly 300 academic buildings, has not only reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent but reduced energy consumption by 20 per cent and water use by 30 per cent. "This training is part of a larger project over the last 31/2 years called ecotrek, Canada's largest e...

China has experienced pressing energy shortages in recent years, and Beijing has intensified its efforts to secure China's energy supply through both increased domestic production and external expansion. In this paper, I first analyze China's global quest for energy by looking at the correlation between China's economic growth and its energy security concerns. I then examine the implications of China's "go-out" strategy through two sets of case studies. I argue that China's global search for energy is primarily driven by its rapid economic growth, out of insecurity rather than a master plan to dominate the world, and that China's energy security issues have multiple implications beyond simple economic concerns. Finally, I recommend a forward-looking engagement policy to be adapted by Ca...

Toilets account for a third of household water use. "We're flushing a lot of expensive, treated drinking water down the toilet," said Celeste Cote of the Sierra Club. Conservative amendments to the Energy Efficiency Act introduced last week would let the government regulate products that use energy or affect power consumption. If the amendments go on to become law, Ottawa would be one step closer to putting restrictions on plumbing fixtures, since they affect energy use.
Compact fluorescent light bulbs use one-quarter of the energy of standard incandescent bulbs, so a 15-watt CFL produces the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb. CFLs certified by Energy Star, an international marketing symbol to identify energy-saving home products, are more expensive than incandescent bulbs, but last longer. With an average 30 light fixtures in each of Canada's 12 million households, replacing a single 60-watt incandescent bulb with a 15-watt CFL in each one could save up to $73 million a year in energy costs. About 15 per cent of a typical household energy bill goes to heating water. The water-heater is one of the biggest energy consumers in many Canadian homes, second only to the furnace. If you've got an older hot-water appliance, you can save by...

Quesnel, BC's campus, built to LEED silver, opened on January 26, 2006. The campus named, "North Cariboo Community Campus" is shared by the University of Northern British Columbia and the College of New Caledonia. The report focuses much of its analysis on building operations, and with good reason. Although embodied energy, material selection, construction, and demolition are important in a life cycle approach to buildings, the largest environmental impacts are a result of the operation of buildings. Operations account for approximately 85 percent of the lifetime energy in commercial buildings, but are simultaneously affected by the one-time capital choices made during design and construction. SDTC understands the critical importance of a full lifecyde approach, and incorporates the ent...
