The Energy and Water Department, a subsect of the Sustainability Department, is responsible for managing and optimizing the use of energy and water resources within an organization. This includes implementing conservation strategies, monitoring consumption, and promoting the use of renewable energy sources. Additionally, they work on projects to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Energy Conservation & Demand Management Plan (ECDMP)
This Energy Conservation and Demand Management (ECDM) Plan is written in accordance with Ontario Regulation 25/23: Broader Public Sector: Energy Reporting and Conservation and Demand Management Plans. This ECDM, in concert with the Integrated Energy and Water Master Plan (IEWMP), currently under development, provide the framework for the next phase of sustainable operations across all campuses. This mindful approach is in support of the current George Brown College (GBC) Strategy 2026 objectives and represents our commitment to sustainability while expanding our campuses, improving the quality of our student experience, and strengthening our educational programming.

GWI GBC Energy Treasure Hunt
This year we have been active partners with the GWI. We have participated in their learning event series and have contributed to one of the training events by having an Energy Treasure Hunt at 146 Kendal as the feature location for that day. On November 18th we will be presented with an infographic similar to the one depicted above which will outline and highlight the energy and GHG saving measures that were identified during the Energy Tresure Hunt.
