Transcript of MAYOR’S TOWER RENEWAL
Mayor’s Tower Renewal is a program to drive broad environmental, social, economic, and cultural change by improving Toronto’s concrete apartment towers and the neighbourhoods that surround them.

Deep Lake CoolingCold lake water cuts
downtown office tower
energy use by 90 percent
Largest public transitexpansion in North AmericaTransit City plan will add 120 km of modern light rail public transit
Toronto Green StandardOur made-in-Toronto approach to designing
environmentally-friendly buildings
Live Green TorontoInvesting $20 million to green Toronto’s homes and businesses with innovative projects like shared geo-thermal systems and green roofs
Cutting emissions from City operations by 30 percent from 1990 levels by:Powering Toronto City Hall with renewable energyBiodiesel, hybrid electric and natural gas-powered buses, cars and trucksUpgrading over 500 city facilities Converting 2,000 traffic signals to LEDs
Solid Waste Diverted More than any major city in North America, including over 200,000 tonnes of compost a year

Ultimately Mayor’s Tower Renewal provides us with the opportunity to drive change by achieving the combined and integrated results of:
Goals of Tower Renewal
Combating climate change, while stimulating local economic development
Applying new and innovative green technologies and, very importantly,
Renewing, revitalizing, creating beautiful vibrant neighbourhoods across our city.

Projections
Overcladding (67.06%), HVAC (13.5%) and Planning & Design (9.75%) account for 90% of the tower renewal job opportunities.
20-Storey Archetype Tower Building with 240 Suites
Planning & Design 9.75% $675,000
Roof Replacement 4.25% $294,600
Overcladding 67.06% $4,644,442
HVAC 13.50% $935,000
Commissioning 0.36% $25,000
Water Conservation 1.73% $120,000
Parkade Lighting Controls 0.10% $6,846
Site Work & Landscaping 3.25% $225,000
100.00% $6,925,888
• If every tower apartment building in Toronto was comprehensively retrofit, the total value of the work in today’s dollars is approximately $13.8-billion. Industry experts estimate that the time needed to perform the retrofit work is roughly equal to the time it took to originally construct this building stock, in the range of 25 to 30 years.
• Approximately 30,325 person-years of employment would be created by tower renewal within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector. The net wages for these workers would amount to some $2.1-billion.
• While not forming part of this study, it was recognized that there are significant opportunities for the manufacturers of materials, components and equipment in Ontario to invest in research and development of innovative means of retrofitting existing buildings cost effectively to achieve high levels of energy and environmental performance.
Projections
Employment Strategy
1. Develop a place-based approach to meet any/all employment needs for residents in tower communities (e.g. service fairs, dedicated employment case worker on-site).
2. Promote training & education services for residents to support a skilled “green collar” workforce (SUPPLY LED)
3. Meet the hiring needs of contractors and other vendors involved in building retrofit work (DEMAND LED)
IMMEDIATE HIRING NEEDS Assisting with outreach and recruitment to diverse populations Matching qualified candidates to employment opportunitiesLONG TERM HIRING NEEDS Designing customized recruitment and outreach initiatives to support
your anticipated their needs Coordinating training initiatives through City’s connections to numerous
training providers (including colleges, private trainers, school boards and non-profit community agencies, pre-apprenticeship programs).
Structural retrofits can provide opportunities for multiple system upgrades
