Utility Consumption Database

Background

With the launch of the Energy Conservation Initiative, the Ministry of Education has created a broad based program designed to promote the principals of energy management. The goals of the initiative include:

  • Promoting the principles of energy management within the School Boards
  • Identifying best practices in energy management
  • Working with individual boards to create a conservation strategy in compliance with the Energy Conservation Leadership Act, 2006

With approximately 4,900 publicly-funded schools and 100 administrative buildings across Ontario, the Ministry also recognized that an opportunity existed for school boards to demonstrate energy management leadership through their cooperative efforts in sharing best practices in energy management.

Central to identifying best practices is providing school boards with access to information about how their schools consume energy. Recognizing that consumption data is a foundation for energy management decisions and actions, the Ministry of Education and York Catholic District School Board issued a Request for Proposal seeking a Utility Consumption Database.
