Implementing Edmonton’s Community Energy Transition Strategy

Presented by: Lisa Dockman & Jenny Hong

Unanimously approved by City Council in April 2015, Edmonton’s Community Energy Transition Strategy is a risk management strategy designed to transition Edmonton to a low carbon, sustainable energy future. The strategy outlines more than 150 tactics designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy efficiency and generate more electricity locally. As the strategy moves forward into implementation, efforts to mitigate energy use in Edmonton’s buildings are critically important to achieving Edmonton’s climate targets. This session will dive into the details of several foundational policies and programs essential to the implementation of Edmonton’s Community Energy Transition Strategy, such as: Edmonton’s Building Energy Benchmarking Program, the City of Edmonton’s Corporate Sustainable Building Policy and Corporate GHG Management Plan.
