As recognized leaders in energy conservation for almost two decades we wish to share with you actions that will help to achieve significant and continued energy use reduction, details of what KPU has accomplished, and ideas to enhance your conservation activities.
At KPU, energy conservation has always been one of our greatest strengths and has been an ongoing process.
The key components of our approach are listed below:
Awareness and Training – includes building operator training.
Sustainable Design – all renovations and new buildings are built to reduce environmental impact.
Strategic Energy Management Action Plan (SEMP) – captures what has been achieved and identifies future actions to further reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy Consumption Records – measures energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions which are benchmarked to our 2007 base year to measure progress towards achieving energy and greenhouse gas reduction goals.
Carbon Neutral Action Report (CNAR) – is a mandatory annual government report detailing progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to achieve the goals identified in the BC Governments “Climate Action Accountability Act”.
The Facilities Services Team also extends our conservation focus to reducing and recycling waste, designing environmentally responsible buildings, and supporting actions to reduce the production of greenhouse gas emissions.
You are encouraged to download resources from this website and modify them to best suit your needs. It is our hope that you will be motivated to act to further reduce your environmental impact.
