ENERGY EFFICIENCY SOLUTIONS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
The Energy Services Division is able to offer the Audit++ Program as a result of
its partnership with the Ministries of Energy and Public Infrastructure Renewal
under the Province of Ontario’s Municipal Eco-Challenge Fund. We believe the
greenhouse gas reductions and financial savings achieved from the projects
undertaken as a result of the Audit++ Program will be multiplied many times over.
These projects will act as the cornerstone of a long term, sustainable and
integrated energy management system that will allow Ontario municipalities
to collectively benefit and leverage each others’ strengths and best practices. The LAS Energy Services Division
offers a number of services designed
to help municipalities save money,
City of Temiskaming Shores – energy, and the natural environment.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY SOLUTIONS FOR MUNICIPALITIES
Local Authority Services Ltd. (LAS) was created in 1992 by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO)
2
and is a wholly owned subsidiary company of AMO. LAS is mandated to work with municipalities, their agencies,
boards and commissions, as well as other organizations of Ontario’s broader public sector,
to assist them in reducing the cost of their expenditures and in increasing their levels of
revenues through the principles of economies-of-scale and co-operative procurement efforts.

ABOUT AUDIT++
The Audit++ Program was developed to assist our member’s efforts to develop integrated energy management
programs, and was made possible as a result of a partnership with the Ministries of Energy and Public Infrastructure
Renewal under the Province of Ontario’s Municipal Eco-Challenge Fund (MECF).
The Audit++ Program was initiated in January 2008 and was delivered to 42 municipal facilities across Ontario, including
recreational facilities, administrative offices, fire halls, police stations, city/town halls and water/wastewater plants.
The Audit++ Program combined a number of valuable services for each participating facility, including:
I pre-audit communications and information collection with local staff
I introductory meeting with local stakeholders to provide overview of energy issues
I full day assessment of facility and equipment focusing on energy impacts
I interaction with facilities personnel to understand local operating and management practices
I metering and load profiling of key equipment
I development of a RETScreen profile and related assessment of current performance and opportunities for
energy efficiency retrofits, as well as recommendations to improve operating practices
I evaluation of applicability of retrofit projects for federal, provincial and utility funding
I full day post audit classroom session on energy management and review of improvement plans
I update of reports to include feedback from classroom sessions
LAS wishes to acknowledge that the success of the Audit++ Program at all 42 sites was the result of the
collaborative efforts of our service providers (the I.B. Storey Consortium) and our municipal member participants
at all locations.
Contact information for the I.B. Storey Consortium is found on the back cover of this booklet.
The local staff contact for this Audit++ location is found on page 3 of this booklet.

settlers in the area were attracted to the rich farm land of
the Little Clay Belt agricultural area of northeastern
Ontario.

Future State
The Audit++ Report identified 12 energy savings opportunities for the Pool and Fitness Centre. The
opportunities focus on operational improvements, system controls, and equipment optimization. Based on
further financial analysis and feedback from the Municipality, an Audit++ Implementation Plan for 9
retrofit projects was developed. The other 3 opportunities were deferred for future consideration.
Simple payback periods have been calculated using the A shared auditing approach was used throughout the
