Energy Conservation and Demand Management
The Ontario Government is committed to helping public agencies better understand and manage their energy
consumption. As part of this commitment, Ontario Regulation 507/18 under the Electricity Act requires each
public agency, including healthcare systems, to report energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
annually, to implement an Energy Conservation and Demand Management (ECDM) Plan, and to update
its ECDM Plan every five years.
Brant Community Healthcare System is committed to the ECDM Plan outlined in this document to reduce its
environmental impact. This ECDM Plan pertains to the Brantford General Hospital (BGH) and The Willett
Hospital (TWH) at Brant Community Healthcare System and addresses the following objectives.
- Baseline performance: To document previous and current energy and GHG performance.
- Energy conservation measures (ECMs): To document previous, current and proposed ECMs.
- Energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) plan: To establish 5-year energy and GHG performance targets and develop a road map to achieve those targets.
