2012 LAS Energy Workshops

< Download Registration Form

Presented in Conjunction with:

NRCan

AMO/LAS presents an Energy Planning workshop geared towards all municipal staff and elected officials interested in energy planning as required by Regulation 397/11 Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plans.

You know there are opportunities to save money, and you know that the faster you act on them, the faster you start saving. Knowing what to do and where to find help is the hard part.

Energy costs can be expected to rise in the future due to market deregulation, global demand, and the Province’s planned investments of over $87 Billion in energy infrastructure. Municipalities currently spend over $955 million per year on energy—and we expect annual increases of at least 3.5% for each of the next 20 Years.

LAS’ hands-on workshops recognize the reality that municipalities are all at different stages of development regarding energy conservation planning and energy management. This full-day workshop will provide the necessary tools for your municipality to start to develop an operational and practical energy plan before 2012—as required by Regulation 397/11.

All participants will receive a detailed workshop package and access to an online toolkit with loads of information about best practices, new technologies, available funding programs… and much more.

"Following attendance at an AMO/LAS Energy Management Workshop, our small urban municipality has benefited immensely, with respect to energy savings, through participation in both LAS’s electricity and natural gas procurement programs. We are also realizing significant savings, having retrofitted all our municipal buildings with photo luminescent fire exit signage, another practical initiative we learned of, at the same workshop. We continue to benefit from timely, reliable and accurate advise related to energy management issues, through our ongoing relationship with staff contacts at AMO/LAS."
