1. The Ontario Speed Skating Oval at Lakefield… …and energy integration with the community of Lakefield, Lakefield District Secondary School and St. Paul’s Elementary School.

2. Who is Ice Kube Systems • IKS manufactures water-to-water heat pumps for use in low temperature applications, such as ice rinks, thermal ice storage and geothermal heating and cooling. • IKS works with owners, designers, and contractors to install integrated systems in over 60 such applications across Canada, the U.S., Russia and S. Korea • Founded in 1995, IKS has developed a patented rink floor design incorporating thermal storage to reduce pumping horsepower and reduce peak refrigeration loads • IKS has been involved in 2-3 large and a number of smaller geothermal and integrated geothermal systems per year for the last 5-6 years. In 2004, IKS completed two integrated projects in Nova Scotia and 2 rinks in Minnesota, as well as numerous smaller projects • Sales total approximately $2 million, with a total of approximately 800-1,000 tons of equipment annually. • Partnered with Ensis, a Manitoba based labor sponsored venture capital fund, in 2004

4. System Efficiency What you Get C.O.P.* = What you Buy * Coefficient of Performance

5. Compared to Fossil Fuels 10-20% of heat up the chimney 80-90% of heat to the building 1 unit of purchased fossil fuel C.O.P. = 0.8 TO 0.9

6. Compared to Electric Heat 1 unit of purchased electricity 1 unit of heat to the building C.O.P. = 1.0

7. Compared to Earth Energy 1 unit of purchased electricity 3.5 units of heat to the building Plus 2.5 units of free energy from the earth C.O.P. = 3.5

8. Simultaneous Heating & Cooling 1 unit of purchased electricity 3 units of heat from the ice 4 units of heat to the building C.O.P. = 7.0

14. Where is Lakefield, ON Ottawa 250 km Lakefield 150 km Toronto

15. Why Lakefield • Climate conditions and proximity to Ontario’s speed skating clubs • First temperature controlled long-track speed skating oval in Ontario • More than 50% of Canada’s medals at last 2 Winter Olympics came from speed skating • Lakefield will be home of speed skating in Ontario and can serve all of Eastern Canada • OSSA head office in Lakefield • Host provincial, national & international and Olympic events

16. Benefits to Community • Ontario Speed Skating Oval at Lakefield is a non-profit organization • Economic impact of new tourism activity - $5 million annually • 10,000 overnight visits - $1.5 million spending in Lakefield and area • 4-6 full time jobs created • Financial benefits re-invested in community • Tourism & Businesses in Lakefield and area will generate revenue year round not just in summer months

17. Project Partners & Potential Partners • Project Partners • Ontario Speed Skating Oval at Lakefield • Ontario Speed Skating Association • Bridgenorth Ennismore Lakefield Rotary Club • CMHA – Peterborough Branch • Crawford Building Consultants • Township of Smith, Ennismore Lakefield • Peterborough, Victoria, Northumberland, Clarington Catholic District School Board • Kawartha Pineridge District School Board • NRCan – CTEC-Varennes – RABP • Ice Kube Systems Ltd. • Additional Potential Partners • Federation of Canadian Municipalities • Hydro One • Ontario School Boards Federation • Ontario Ministry of Education

18. The Oval & Ice Rinks Phase 2: $6,214,000 Ice surface & refrigeration Phase 3: $3,890,000 Club building and amenities (not including ice surfaces) Phase 1: Donated services Berm Track Refrigeration plant

19. Community Energy Integration 900 m Proposed Speed Skating Oval 750 m Proposed Twin Ice Arena 600 m 500 m 0 m Kawartha Pineridge High School St. Paul’s Elementary School Proposed 1,900 Home Development (approx. 120 ha)

20. IKS Projects • IKS has completed approximately 60 integrated systems across • None have included integration of buildings across property lines or different owners • None include buildings separated from the ice arena by any significant distance • The largest to date has refrigeration capacity of 140 tons, and total heat pump capacity of approximately 300 tons • Two school systems have been completed by IKS (Evergreen School, Dryden, ON and Yorkdale School, Yorkton, SK). Both schools are built as stand-alone geothermal systems

21. Replication Potential • IKS has had requests to provide estimates for a number of projects of similar size and potential, including: • Ten block area being rebuilt in a major Canadian city that will include ice rinks, recreation, multi-family housing, commercial space, etc. • Large complex in major Canadian City that includes 4 ice rinks, curling facility, swimming pools, gymnasia, multi-family housing, commercial space • Two combined recreation complex / school facilities in the United States • Recreation / commercial complexes integrated with housing development in major Canadian City • There is tremendous opportunity to work with developers and municipalities on integrated recreation / commercial / housing developments, with significant opportunities to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and operating costs

22. Integrated Refrigeration Projects by Others • Numerous ice rink projects have included partial or complete heat recovery from the refrigeration system. None use the earth as a storage medium for recovered heat* • To our knowledge, no other systems are integrated with other neighboring buildings to this extent *Gimle School in Halden Municipality, Norway, is only other integrated system using geothermal loop as alternative heat source for refrigeration plant. The system rejects heat to the atmosphere when it can’t be used in the adjacent school

23. Innovations in the Lakefield Project • Earth loop is designed and used for large scale thermal energy storage • System can be expanded to accommodate future growth of the community • Buildings up to 1,350 m from refrigeration plant will be connected to common earth loop to enable waste heat recovery • Up to 1,900 homes, as much as 1,500 m from refrigeration plant will potentially be connected to earth integrated system • System is designed for phased construction over 10-15 years • Residential heat pumps proposed for system are designed to take direct advantage of hot or cold loop temperatures and heat or cool directly without activating compressor (passive heating & cooling)

24. Annual Energy Balance – Oval, Rinks & Schools

25. Annual Energy Balance – 600 Homes Integrated

26. Annual Energy Balance – 1,900 Home Development

27. GHG Reductions • Greenhouse gas reduction calculations assume natural gas would be primary choice in buildings if integrated system were not installed • Electric consumption based on mix of electrical generation in Ontario (1 kWh produces 0.26 kg CO2) Estimated CO2 emissions reduced by 11,000 tonnes annually

28. Benefits to Stakeholders • Long term low energy costs for all stakeholders • Homeowner annual savings: $1,520,000 ($800 / home) • Schools annual saving: $100,000 • Oval building: $16,000 • Lower refrigeration cost • Total Community: $1,636,000 • Revenue source for loop owner (OSSO) • Significant GHG reductions: 11,000 tonnes annually • Hydro One: Significant reduction in peak electrical demand, consumption & demand shifting
