Different Reporting Methods
How do they report this information?
1. Provide this information in “Energy Consumption & Greenhouse Gas Emissions Template”
2. This template is available from Ministry of Energy or from Energent
3. Energy Consumption is reported in kWh (electricity) & m3 (gas)
4. Greenhouse gas information is to be reported in “Carbon Equivalents (CO2e), N2O, CO2, & CH4

How Energent Can Help
St. Joseph’s Healthcare
“The monitoring & targeting of real-time consumption against baselines gives us valuable insights for controlling our day-to-day energy consumption and managing our budget. Before, it was hard to detect energy waste and quantify accumulating costs. Now, we have specific and meaningful information about our energy use. Staff are able to tack action immediately when operations are ‘Out of Whack’, and see the immediate impact.”
John Duncan, Facilities and Building Services Specialist, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton Canada
