It is a living document that will continue to evolve and assist the College in its various environmental and sustainability initiatives. In addition, this 5-Year Plan will provide the college with a framework to identify opportunities for continued energy conservation measures and sustainability initiatives. Identified initiatives will be undertaken subject to the annual approval of capital and operating budgets and forecasts. ## Required Elements of the Plan include: 1. Information on the annual energy consumption during the last year for which complete information is available for the full year. 2. The goals and objectives of the College to conserve and reduce energy consumption. 3. The proposed measures and plan for cost savings (estimates), and the estimated length of time these measures will be in place. 4. A report on any renewable energy generation facility operated by the College. 5. Confirmation that the plan is approved by Senior Management. 6. The plan is made publicly available. The implementation of an Energy Conservation and Management Plan allows us to address the interconnected issues of energy use, infrastructure development, facility operations and sustainability. Northern College is committed to the on-going monitoring of our current energy practices. ## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Northern College is a pillar of success for Northern Ontario, with four Northeastern Ontario campuses located in Timmins, Haileybury, Moosonee and Kirkland Lake comprising of over 635,000 square feet of gross floor area (GFA).
