Energy efficiency has been identified by municipal, provincial and federal governments as a crucial tool in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fighting climate change. This study identifies the energy efficiency policies and initiatives that will be most effective in moving Banff municipal operations toward a goal of 100 percent renewable energy. A summary of the Town’s current energy planning policies is provided, as well as an account of the Town’s energy usage for heating, electricity and transportation, based on the Town’s records. Other municipal energy efficiency leaders (Aspen, Vancouver, Frankfurt) are examined for best practices. Banff’s 2016 municipal energy usage totaled roughly 70,000 GJ – primarily from electricity and natural gas (heating) consumption. Electricity accounted for the highest financial costs and GHG emissions. Increasing energy efficiency in Banff will require improvements to building energy performance, an expansion of local energy generation, and improved reporting and follow-through on existing energy policies.
