LAS MUNICIPAL ENERGY PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKING PROJECT
Best in Class Award Winners
LAS and over 140 municipalities have worked with
Marbek Consultants since October 2008 on the Energy Performance
Benchmarking Project. Data from 393 municipal facilities across Ontario
was compiled and analyzed throughout 2009. We identified the top
performing facility in each of 12 categories and carried out site visits
in Winter 2010 to both confirm the Benchmarking Results and to develop
materials for resultant case studies. The site visits consisted of two
major components: a discussion with building operator/occupants, and a
walkthrough of major mechanical areas or other sections of interest. The
analysis focused on not just installed equipment but on how the
occupants used the equipment as well as the spaces.
LAS is very pleased to announce that the following facilities were
deemed to be the Best in Class - click on the

What is the purpose
of this designation?
Energy management is at the heart of municipal
sustainability efforts because it leads to reductions in operating costs
and greenhouse gases while improving employee comfort and equipment
reliability. LAS is pleased to recognize some of the leading lights in
the municipal sector in terms of integrated energy
management.
Like the staff in each of these 12
Best in Class Facilities, LAS is also interested in continuous
improvement. The 12 case studies were developed to help improve the
energy efficiency of both the profiled facilities as well as the
hundreds of similar facilities in municipalities all across the province
by examining the reasons behind this strong performance. The case
studies provide all municipalities in the province with actionable
energy management opportunities.
