Canmore’s GHGs
It all started here…Senior’s Centre
X 2007: X 6 solar voltaic modules, 1 KW DC
X 2nd solar system in Alberta
X 2020: X 110 solar voltaic modules, 40 kW DC system
X 77% electrical offset
Elevation Place
X 2013: 36 solar thermal modules, 72 KW capacity
X 2020: New solar photovoltaic systemX 373 KW DC
X 969 panels
X 423,626 kWh/yr
University of Calgary Rooftop Solar Potential StudyX Rooftop geometry has >4 times
impact on solar potential than location
X The potentialX 42,000 MWh/yr
X 40,000 tonnes of CO2eq/yr reduced
X Equivalent to 8,600 cars off the road
X CurrentX 808 MWh/yr
X <2% of homes
Renewable/Low Carbon Energy Feasibility
X Prefeasibility scanX Accelerating the Implementation of
Renewable Energy -Quest, Community Energy Knowledge Action Partnership
X Variety of options for heat and electricity
X Feasibility study on most promising optionsX Imported and local generation
X $28 million currently spent on energy
BuildingsX 2014: Solar incentive
X 2018: 10% better than EnerGuide Reference House
X 2019: Maximum house size limit (325 m2/3,500 ft2), secondary suites
X Future: 2020 National Energy Code for Buildings, or…? Solar and EV ready requirements, energy efficiency requirements/incentives for renovations, Clean Energy Improvement Program
TransportationX Walking and cycling route
improvements and connectivity
X Free local transit funded by pay parking
X Future: Electric vehicles, car sharing
WasteX Residential Food Waste Diversion Pilot
X Future: Commercial/Institutional Food Waste program, construction waste
What’s on our sideX Community
X Bow Valley Climate Action
X Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley
“We will move to a low-carbon world because nature will force us, or because policy will guide us. If we wait until nature forces us, the cost will be astronomical.” Christiana Figueres, Executive secretary of the UNFCCC, 2010–2016
