Community Energy Management Plan: In 2018, Lheidli T’enneh initiated a Community Energy Management Plan (CEMP) with Community Power. To aid with implementation of an energy management plan and provide community-wide energy and housing data tracking tools, Community Power provided Lheidli T'enneh with access to eEthos Software Platform. To further expland the software functionality and hone it to the community needs, Leo Hebert has agreed that the Nation will to provide feedback on Lheidli T'ennehs user experience, bring to the eEthos development teams attention any additional capabilities that would benefit the community, and act as a reference when other communities are looking to buy the software. In exchange, Community Power provided discounted services on a community energy management plan (CEMP) and Assessments. The community energy management plan (CEMP) documented the community’s current energy use, projections of future energy consumption in the short and long terms, the community’s goals and visions for their energy future, and an outline of a pathway towards achieving these goals.
As part of the CEMP process, Community Power visited 10 sample homes in the community to conduct energy assessments. Assessments tested the air leakage of homes and identified energy saving opportunities. Included below are some of the major findings from the assessments conducted April 2019.
