The corporate inventory <br />included a detailed analysis of energy consumption and cost data for 386 City buildings, <br />6,000 fleet vehicles, the City's entire stock of streetlights and traffic signals, and waste <br />produced from over 400 of the City's facilities. <br />The measures analysis focused on initiatives implemented by the City and other agencies <br />that reduced emissions of GHGs and criteria air pollutants in both the corporate and <br />community sectors. IES identified and quantified a wide range of measures including <br />energy efficiency initiatives, fuel switching projects, and outreach and incentive <br />programs. <br />Cost: <br />$160,000 <br />Contact: <br />Joseph Deal, Coordinator of Special Projects <br />City of Chicago <br />Phone: (312) 742 -0461 <br />E -mail: jdeal @cityofchicago.org <br />6.4 City of Toronto, Ontario <br />IES completed a two -part study of over 900 of the City of Toronto's corporate facilities <br />and selected agencies representing an annual energy bill of $64 million. The goals of the <br />study were to analyze the efficiency performance in corporate operations and estimate the <br />remaining energy efficiency potential within the facilities. It was determined that <br />through the implementation of various measures, the total City energy usage had dropped <br />by 1 %, representing $13 million in avoided utility costs annually and 56,000 tonnes of <br />avoided greenhouse gas emissions per year. <br />The study found that the City of Toronto currently has the opportunity potential to reduce <br />its operating expenses by $15 -$22 million per year - potentially in excess of $100 million <br />over a five -year period. The total investment required to realize these savings was <br />determined to be between $68 million and $106 million, providing a simple return on <br />investment of 20% per year. <br />Cost: <br />$20,000 <br />
