www.oakvillebeaver.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, July 1, 2010 · 14 Oakville and Milton Catholic schools among most energy efficient By Tim Foran METROLAND WEST MEDIA GROUP Three Catholic elementary schools in Halton ranked in the top 10 in energy efficiency out of 400 schools in Canada and the United States surveyed by a Toronto-based management con- sultancy. All three schools were opened by the Halton Catholic District School Board in 1999 with high densities (less than 100 square feet of school space per student) with full air conditioning availability, according to Enerlife Consulting, which compiled the list of top energy performing schools based on 2008 data. Enerlife ranked the 400 schools from 45 participating school boards based on use of total energy, measured as electricity and gas or oil converted to common energy units, or energy kilowatt hours per square foot (ekWh/ft2). The data is weather normalized to Toronto. The median energy intensity of all 400 schools was 20.7 ekWh/ft2. The Halton schools include: · St. Andrew, at 145 Millbank Drive in Oakville. The school, located near Glenashton Drive and Sixth Line, ranked seventh in Enerlife's list. The school uses gas boilers for heat and its total energy intensity was under 12. · Holy Rosary, at 141 Martin Street near Woodward Avenue, in Milton. The school, a replacement for the original one built in 1954, ranked eighth on Enerlife's list. It uses a water source heat pump with a gas backup for heat and its energy intensity was 12. · Mother Teresa, at 1190 Westview Terrace, in the West Oak Trails Boulevard and Fourth Line area of Oakville. The school also uses gas boilers for heat and its energy intensity was slightly above 12. "Technology and system design make up just one third of the energy performance equation," stated Enerlife President Ian Jarvis in a press release. "The common factor among the top 20 (schools) is their attention to the other two-thirds ­ operational excellence and active engagement of staff and students." Jarvis is the former chair of the Canada Green Building Council and was also a director of Milton Hydro from 2000 to 2007.
