Understanding When “Low Hanging Fruit” Energy Conservation Projects Are Actually Value-Destructive ........................................ Room 202

• Jim Nostedt, Department of National Defence

• Wayne Cole, SRP Canada

While selecting facility renewal capital investment projects based on traditional ROI or NPV metrics can be an effective strategy in the private sector, it can often be a value-destructive approach when used in the public sector. For public sector capital investment to pro-actively lead the market in sustainability stewardship, the investment analysis must begin with a clear understanding of the total cost of life-use building ownership. This new approach provides transparency to the life-cycle cost of preserving energy from waste, and monetizes sustainability values and economic benefits, adding clarity to the priority-setting process for capital deployment.

Transforming Canada Post ........................................................... Room 203

Keynote SpeakerThe Potential for an Innovative Capital with the New National Government – and the Key Role to be Played by the Real Estate Community

When a new government comes to power, there is always a special opportunity for fresh

ideas and innovation. From his long perspective offering advice on the urban scene in Ottawa,

Larry Beasley will explore possible new directions for the development of our capital city

particularly in regard to the areas of change where real estate management will play a key

role. Referencing urban successes elsewhere in Canada and around the world, he will suggest

a national urban agenda that can be realized in the capital as a pacesetting force and that

will be relevant in the more sustainable and liveable development of all our cities. He will talk

about the power of government real estate demands to drive progressive community building.

He will talk about government investment as a seed to leverage major private investment. He

will talk about public/private partnerships – what works and does not work. He will suggest

new funding and financing sources for public goods and infrastructure. And, he will offer his

take on some of the pending public initiatives that might now be up for grabs.

Anatomy of a P3 ............................................................................ Room 201

• Damian Joy, MHPM Development Solutions Inc.

• Geoffrey Gilbert, Norton Rose Fulbright

• Peter Hepburn, National Bank of Canada

• Olivia MacAngus, Plenary Group

A standardized form of Public-Private Partnerships has been used successfully in Canada for over a decade to deliver serviced infrastructure and buildings for federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments. Yet there are still lingering misconceptions about how and why P3s work. What are the characteristics of the standard P3 model? How do P3s compare and contrast with real estate financings? What are the emerging features of P3s as the Canadian market matures?

Reading the Past to Forecast the Future......................................... Room 202

• Mats Striegler, Department of National Defence

• Chris Knowlton, Department of National Defence

• Richard Laferrière, Department of National Defence

• Wayne Cole, Sustainable Renewal Planning Inc. (SRP Canada)

Real property accounts for 15-25% of the budget of most organizations. So among competing priorities, administrators of real property portfolios are faced with the challenge of accurately forecasting and defending their funding requirements to senior budget committees. To succeed in this arena we have to illuminate the long-term impacts of funding decisions and funding models on the health of the real property portfolio. In this session you will acquire information on economic modelling for the major cost components of a portfolio; learn how to demonstrate that historical funding decisions for operating and capital expenditures affect the health of your portfolio and create future funding challenges; and, see a new way of analysing the benefit of longer-term paybacks over short-term payback in the field of energy cost management and how to champion those capital-intensive energy management projects.



Building the Value Proposition of a Project Management Office ...... Room 203

• Elizabeth Tough, Public Works and Government Services Canada

• Cheryl Nelms, City of Vancouver

• Alain Gonthier, City of Ottawa

This panel discussion will explore the value proposition of a project management office (PMO) including how PMOs can help organizations meet productivity savings targets, improved stewardship and the delivery of projects and programs with improved cost and schedule certainty and savings. There is no one-size-fits-all structure for a PMO and as it matures it must evolve with the organization to deliver best value. Panellists will draw upon their experience leading the establishment or refresh of public sector PMO and share their experience delivering on a value proposition in an environment of change.
