EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2
Energy
Despite recent infrastructure improvements, overall
ENERGY INTENSITY has not changed significantly in
2013/14. This can be attributed to a colder winter,
and renovations that were underway at the time. It
should be noted that since 2008/09, NSCC has
reduced energy intensity by 17%.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
GHG emissions have decreased by 3% since last year,
and by 14% since 2008/09.
Water
Through retrofits with water saving fixtures and the
implementation of water saving initiatives, NSCC has
reduced overall water consumption by 6% since last
year, and an overall of 27% since the 2008/09
benchmark year.

Introduction This report provides an overview of NSCC’s Building Operations Sustainability Performance for the
2013/2014 fiscal year. This is the fifth consecutive year that such a report has been developed.
Currently, industry tools that are being used to help manage and track sustainability across the College
include STARS and BOMA BESt. These tools are utilized as a ‘live system’ to optimize opportunities to
continually improve performance and to support NSCC’s commitment to sustainability.
1. Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Reporting
System (STARS) The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Reporting System (STARS) is a tool for measuring how well a
post-secondary institution embeds sustainability in all aspects of what they do. Institutions achieve a
rating of Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze based on how well they score in a wide range of available
credits. A few examples of available credits include: sustainability in curriculum, sustainable building
operations, sustainable purchasing, greenhouse gas emissions, transportation,
waste management, sustainability in Strategic Plan, staff development in
sustainability, diversity and employee satisfaction. Currently there are over 320
rated institutions across North America.
After a year-long certification process, in December 2013 NSCC achieved STARS
Gold certificaiton. Of the 32 STARS rated post-secondary institutes in Canada, NSCC ranked #4 in the
country. This achievement is a significant milestone for NSCC, and will set a baseline as the College
continues to improve sustainability performance. NSCC’s STARS submission is available to the public, at
the following link:
https://stars.aashe.org/institutions/nova-scotia-community-college-ns/report/1407/.

2. BOMA BESt BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association), is an international professional association that
provides building specific information relating to operating costs, energy consumption
patterns, local and national building codes, legislation, occupancy statistics and
technological developments.
The BOMA BESt (BESt = Building Environmental Standards) was developed to facilitate a
consistent approach to measuring and managing the environmental performance of
commercial/institutional buildings. The performance of a building is assessed in terms of
energy use, water use, waste management, environmental communications, and indoor
environmental quality. Once all building data is compiled and the BOMA report is
submitted, a third party BOMA auditor visits the site to verify the building’s score.
Buildings are certified based on the following ranking:
Score Certification Level
90-100 BOMA BESt Level 4 (Highest)
80-89 BOMA BESt Level 3
70-79 BOMA BESt Level 2
BOMA BESt Level 1 (Building meets core requirements)
NSCC has been enrolled in the BOMA BESt program since 2008/09. In 2008/09, all 13 campuses were
BOMABESt Certified, then recertified in 2011/12. NSCC’s average score in 2008/09 was 75% (BOMA
BESt Level 2) and the average recertification score in 2011/12 is 83% (BOMA BESt Level 3).
As BOMA BESt is a three-year recertification cycle, all campuses are due for recertification by October
2015.
3. Sustainability Policy In 2013 a Sustainability Policy was drafted, and was based on a consultative process that was completed
across the organization. In December 2013 the draft Policy was presented to the Board of Governors,
and was approved.
The new Sustainability Policy replaces the former NSCC Environmental Policy. The new Policy is
supportive of the NSCC Strategic Plan, and is designed to guide NSCC’s commitment to sustainability in a
broad context. The Policy includes Guiding Principles and measureable Action Items, to support
continual improvement in sustainability performance. A copy of the Policy is provided in Appendix A,
and is also available at this link:
http://www.nscc.ca/explorenscc/sustainability/sustainability_policy.pdf.

ALL CAMPUSES 6
4. Sustainability Committee Terms of Reference To ensure consistency with the new Sustainability Policy, a Terms of Reference was developed to
support and guide Campus Sustainability Committees. A copy of the Terms of Reference is provided in
Appendix B.
5. Sustainability Communications/Campus Engagement In 2013/14 several initiatives were implemented to promote sustainability across NSCC. The intent was
to educate students, faculty and staff on the depth and breadth of sustainability, and to support NSCC’s
commitment to sustainability. These initiatives were designed to bolster awareness, and ultimately to
encourage the behavioral changes that are essential to continually improve the College’s sustainability
performance. Examples of recent initiatives are the new website, and the sustainability video. Details
of these initiatives are provided in the following sections.
5.1 New NSCC Sustainability Website In March 2014 the new NSCC Sustainability Website was launched. This
website provides up-to-date information on sustainability topics including:
recent awards, sustainability courses that are available through NSCC,
upcoming events, green building, policies, etc. The site is available at:
http://www.nscc.ca/explorenscc/sustainability/.
5.2 NSCC Sustainability Video – “STARS and Pop Cans” In March 2014 Facilities Management commissioned the production of a sustainability video for
NSCC. The objectives of the video were:
To educate the NSCC community on the pillars that make up sustainability – environmental, social, cultural and economic;
To demonstrate the relevance of sustainability to the NSCC Strategic Plan;
To showcase and celebrate the many things that the College has been doing to support a sustainable future for Nova Scotia.
The video involved completing interviews of staff and
students across NSCC, and is narrated by a local authority on
sustainability, Silver Donald Cameron. The video has been
used in multiple presentations, both internally and
externally. The video is available at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ncy8Qwzs5hc.
Annual Sustainability Report 2013/14
ALL CAMPUSES 7
5.3 Pillars of Sustainability Poster Another sustainability initiative in 2014 was the development of a poster that
illustrates the philosophy of sustainability, and the inter-dependent balance
between the economic, environmental and social/cultural pillars. This has
been developed as a banner, which is displayed at each campus.
A copy of this poster is provided as Appendix C or at the following link:

6. NSCC – Overall Performance 6.1. Energy Usage (All Campuses)
An energy usage comparison across all campuses is presented in the following graph. The total of all
sources of energy for each campus (e.g. fuel oil + electricity + propane, etc.) was converted to British
Thermal Units (BTUs) and divided by the building’s area. This facilitates a comparison between
campuses regardless of source of energy or the size of the building.
Figure 6.1.1: Energy ‘Intensity’ for each building in 2008/09 to 2013/14
Based on a comparison of 2008/09 to 2013/14, the average Energy Intensity increased by 7,129
BTU/square foot.
The following graph illustrates the Total Energy Consumption per campus. As expected, the general
trends relate to the size of the campus.

Figure 6.1.2: Illustrates Total Energy Usage 2008/09 to 2013/14
As shown above, in 2013/14 NSCC consumed a total of 182,285 mmBTUs, compared to 182,156
mmBTUs in 2012/13. This is consistent with the previous year (with a nominal increase of 129 mmBTUs
from last year), and reduction of 24,147 mmBTUs (or 12%) since 2008/09.
This nominal increase is attributed to a colder winter, and renovations that were underway at the time.
As an example, the Akerley Campus was completing a curtain wall replacement during the winter
months.
Energy Demand is a measure of the peak energy load during a given period of time. As peak loads place
additional demand on electricity producing infrastructure, the end user (i.e., NSCC) pays a premium
based on demand loads. Energy Demand Management aims to reduce these peak loads through
operational controls.

6.2. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Similar to the previous year, a more comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory was completed.
This inventory included three classes of emissions, as defined below:
Scope 1 Emissions: Direct GHG emissions occurring from sources that are owned or controlled by NSCC.
Scope 1 emission sources include:
Combustion of fuels to heat our buildings (ie fuel oil, natural gas, propane); and,
Combustion of fuels by NSCC owned vehicles.
Scope 2 Emissions: Indirect emissions that are a consequence of activities that take place within the
institutional boundaries, but occur at sources owned or controlled by another entity. These emission
sources include:
Purchased electricity; and,
Purchased steam.

As shown in Figure 6.3.6, in 2013/14, all 13 campuses combined used a total of 99,835 m3 of water.
Since the previous year, this is a water saving of 6,329 m3 (6%), and 37,698 m3 (27%) since 2008/09.
Due to recently identified technical problems with some campus water meters, water usage anomalies
have been adjusted using statistical trend lines to reflect more realistic total water consumption.

The graph above presents the volume of water consumed per unit area of building. This calculation
facilitates the comparison of water efficiency amongst the NSCC campuses.
6.4. Waste (All Campuses) In 2013/14 waste audits were completed at all NSCC campuses. The objectives of the waste audits were
to:
Determine composition and quantities of waste being generated;
Measure the effectiveness of existing waste management systems;
Identify areas for improving waste management systems;
Collect baseline data for measuring the effectiveness of waste minimization strategies.

ALL CAMPUSES 14
A Waste Diversion Rate (WDR) was calculated for each audited campus, which represents the portion of
waste that is diverted away from the landfill, through recycling and composting. The findings can be
summarized as follows:
The WDRs ranged from a low of 42% (Marconi Campus) to a maximum of 86% (Lunenburg
Campus).
The average WDR for all NSCC Campuses in 2013/14 was 65%.
The average WDR for all NSCC Campuses in 2011/12 was 68%.
The average WDR for all NSCC Campuses in 2008/09 was 59%.
The provincial average WDR is 42%1.
Another round of waste audits is being completed in 2014/15.

8. NSCC Goals and Sustainability Action Plan, 2014/15 and Beyond Facilities Management is committed to making sustainability a core aspect of how we do business. The
sustainability performance of the College and associated infrastructure will be measured on an on-going
basis, and goals will be set and reviewed annually to foster a culture of continual improvement.
The process of ongoing measurement assists Facilities Management in recognizing opportunities to
operate buildings more efficiently. Additionally, this process helps identify requirements for
infrastructure upgrades and provides information in assessing the associated business cases and
payback periods.
A significant factor in optimizing the performance of our buildings is behavioral change. Facilities
Management will endeavor to manage this aspect through communications and encouraging
engagement within the NSCC community.
The following sections outline goals and action plans with the various aspects of Facility Management’s
sustainability agenda.
8.1 2013/14 GOALS IN REVIEW The 2012/13 Annual Sustainability Report included a set of goals for this reporting period (2013/14).
Below is a list of those goals, together with a review of actual performance data.
Aspect Goal for 2013/14 Actual Result for
2013/14
Did we meet the 2013/14 goal?
Energy
Intensity
2% reduction (from
2011/12 levels).
1% increase No. This variance from the goal is
attributed to a much colder winter
than previous year, and major
renovations (namely, Akerley).
Overall, an Energy Intensity reduction
of 17% has been achieved since
2008/09.
Water 6% reduction (from
2011/12 levels)
15% reduction Yes, goal was met and exceeded.
Waste Continue to maintain and
improve waste

Yes. System improvements have
been implemented, such as new
signage. Audit is underway for
2014/15.

As shown in the table above, goals set out for 2013/14 were achieved, with the exception of energy
reduction and deferred maintenance. As indicated, the 2013/14 winter was significantly colder than
previous years. Additionally, major renovations at some campuses significantly reduced the energy
efficiencies.

8.2 GOALS 2014/15 AND BEYOND
Energy Given the College’s 222,721 m2 (2,297,350 sq ft) of building space across 13 campuses, our energy
consumption has a significant environmental impact. Through infrastructure upgrades, implementation
of innovative technologies, education and behavioral changes we are able to have significant influences
on this aspect of our environmental performance.
Water NSCC has developed and implemented a water management plan at each campus. These plans were
designed to facilitate a common sense approach to water use reduction. The plans include the phase
out of inefficient water fixtures and appliances, installation of separate water meters to monitor the
usage of individual areas or tenants, and protocols for increasing awareness.
Waste Waste diversion is a key component of effective and sustainable waste management.
Currently, the average waste diversion rate in Nova Scotia is 42%1. In 2008/09 NSCC completed a
comprehensive waste audit of all campuses, and established an overall diversion rate of 59%. In
2011/12 and 2013/14 College wide third party waste audits were completed, and based on these audits
the average diversion rate for all campuses was 68% and 65% respectively.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions The emissions of the greenhouse gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the College have been measured since
2008/09. Using statistical trend line data, a baseline year of 2005/06 has been established at 32,944
metric tonnes of CO2. Since this baseline year, NSCC has reduced Carbon Dioxide emissions (Scope 1
and Scope 2) by 21%.
Goal 2014/15: 4% Reduction (from 2011/2012 levels)
Goal 2015/16: Maintain 2014/15 levels
Goal 2016/17: Maintain 2014/15 levels
Goal 2014/15: 8% Reduction (from 2011/12 levels)
Goal 2015/16: Maintain 2014/15 levels
Goal 2016/17: Maintain 2014/15 levels
Goal 2014/15: Increase overall waste diversion rate to 75%
Goal 2014/15: 20% reduction of GHG emissions (from 2005/2006 levels)
Goal 2015/16: Maintain 2014/15 levels

Sustainability Certification STARS – The Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS), as administered
through the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) is a
tool utilized by institutions across North America for the measurement and management of campus
sustainability. NSCC became STARS Gold certified in December 2013. As it is a three-year
recertification cycle, NSCC will be due for recertification in December 2016.
BOMA BESt - BOMA BESt is currently the platform used for the management of our environmental
performance, and providing a measurement benchmark.
All campuses were BOMA BESt certified in 2008/09, and then were recertified in 2011/12. In 2008/09
the average BOMA BESt score was 75%. Through recertification in 2012, the average score was
improved to 83%.
Policy A new Sustainability Policy was approved by the Board in December 2013. Within this Policy, Action
items have been set forth to support the continued improvement of sustainability performance.
Communications/Engagement In order to optimize the sustainability performance of NSCC, it is essential that the NSCC Community
participate in supporting initiatives. For that reason, Facilities Management will ensure that
sustainability initiatives are communicated to the campuses. Regular communication will allow all those
who use our buildings the opportunity to be engaged in the Sustainability Action Plan.
Goal 2015: Maintain or improve all BOMA BESt scores in the next recertification cycle
(2015)
Goal 2016/17: Recertify for STARS by December 2016. Improve score to 75 points (from
existing 67.43).
Goal 2014/15: Continue to implement policy. Review and present to Board in December
2014.
Goal - Ongoing:
Complete Annual Sustainability Report, and promote both internally and
externally.
Promote sustainability activities through regular newsletters (minimum 3
newsletters/year).
Facility Management to support and actively engage Sustainability Committees.
Maintain NSCC Sustainability website.
Optimize opportunities to promote sustainability to NSCC Faculty and staff (e.g.,
through presentations, media, posters, building design/operations etc.).

Facility Condition Assessments/Deferred Maintenance In order to provide NSCC a safe and healthy work environment, and to operate our buildings in an
efficient and sustainable manner, it is important that deferred maintenance be closely monitored and
managed. Dealing with deferred maintenance items in a timely fashion will facilitate a reduction in long
term costs, and efficient building operations.
Facilities Management is currently completing comprehensive Facilities Condition Assessments (FCAs) of
each campus. Information from FCAs will be managed through the VFA Facility Management software
platform. Once VFAs have been populated, a College wide Capital Plan will be developed. The Capital
Plan will include deferred maintenance targets, and the cash flow required to meet these targets.
Goal 2014/15: Complete detailed Facility Condition Assessments of each campus and
develop Capital Plan.
Goal 2015/16: Maintain Capital Plan.
Goal 2016/17: Maintain Capital Plan.
