2. Jordan Fisher & Associates  Development planning and management  Green building consulting  Community energy and emissions planning  Sustainability strategies  Renewable energy studies  Integrated approach to planning and management complex projects

3. Green Retrofits - BCSEA  Energy retrofits to multi-unit residential buildings  Working with BC Hydro, FortisBC, City of Vancouver, VanCity, landlords, strata concils  First 15 condo projects to include solar hot water installations

4. Community Energy and Emissions Plans  Include:  Transportation/land use  Buildings  Waste  Local energy supply  Long-term outlook (10- 50 years)

5. Solar Colwood  Objective to install solar HW and PV  Initially rejected for funding  After CEEP and further planning achieved $3.9 million in federal funding  Now focused on solar HW, with some PV, ductless heat pumps, electric car charging stations, smart grid technology

6. GVHA Renewable Energy Study  Assessment of a broad range of renewable energy technologies  Potential feasibility  Cost/benefit  Intended to inform development of a mater plan for Ogden Point  Solar HW: difficult to get reliable information  Solar PV: importance of future-readiness

7. Moving Forward With Solar  Tremendous excitement for solar  Need for clarity on costs/benefits – especially for solar hot water  Limits of “payback period” as a measurement  Importance of “future-ready” considerations in planning
