Decarbonization Strategies

If you are looking for support to achieve your decarbonization goals, these tools and resources are for you! Energy and sustainability managers, as well as facilities, finance and planning professionals will find training resources and technical tools to address decarbonize buildings and processes in an energy efficient and cost-effective manner.

Efficient electrification can be a great tool to achieve your decarbonization goals. The Efficient Electrification Toolkit helps organizations across Ontario make informed decisions about electrifying building heating based on their specific building configurations, energy needs and objectives.

Identify building needs and set objectives: Understand the energy needs of your building, including its electrical service capacity, HVAC system configuration and available space to establish informed and realistic objectives. This is key to achieving your goals.
Reduce heating demand: Discover tips and tools for collecting, processing, and interpreting energy data to make informed decisions and optimize energy use.
Optimize HVAC systems: Reduce energy waste in your building mechanical systems through temperature controls, zoning and heat recovery.
Electrify heating systems: Analyze and compare the energy use and capital and operating cost performance of heat pumps and other electrical heating systems.
Balance heating and cooling sources: Compare the cost and GHG emissions implications of different heating and cooling fuels, including those used in hybrid and all-electric heating and cooling systems.
Emissions and carbon pricing: Understand carbon pricing and emissions regulations to better integrate these into your energy and climate planning. Discover power purchase agreements and learn how these strategies work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
