Customers Leadership in Green Building Design
• TD pioneered the net-zero-energy retail branch in both Canada and the U.S.
• Our Sustainable Energy Efficient Design (SEED) is the basis for our new Canadian retail building standard. See Case Study on page 59. »
• From 94 of our retail locations, we have 1.6 megawatts of generation capacity of solar energy, avoiding nearly 620 tonnes of CO2
e. This includes more than 235
kWh generated from our LEED Platinum data centre.
• TD manages over three million square feet in Canada through Green Leases. Green Lease provisions include a focus on water and energy reductions, responsible construction waste management, environmentally friendly cleaning programs, building recycling programs, and energy data reporting.
Examples of Energy-Efficiency Initiatives in 2013
• Retail branch and corporate optimization initiatives.
• Increased development of FlexWorkPlace options.
• Energy retrofits of interior lighting and exterior signage.
• Building performance management using Energy Star portfolio manager to track and assess energy consumption.
• Piloting LEED Commercial Interiors rating system for some of our Canadian corporate space.
These activities resulted in energy reduction of an estimated 8.9 million kWh and over 5,200 tonnes of CO2
e. 116 LEED
projects completed (48 added in 2013) = over one million square feet = 4% of our building portfolio

Performance Benchmark
In 2013 TD won a CoreNet REmmy award for Innovation – Canadian Real Estate Leadership Excellence.
TD’s net-zero store in Fort Lauderdale was recognized with a Viva – Best of the Best Award from the International Council of Shopping Centers.
CHALLENGE
TD has successfully reduced the electricity intensity of our our building portfolio by 15% (relative to 2008 levels). Achieving greater energy reductions will be more complex and require transformational technologies.
RESPONSE
We recognize the need to consider a life- cycle costing approach and accommo date longer returns on investment.
Something We’re Working On
TD is working with our facilities manage- ment companies (Johnson Controls and Brookfield Johnson Controls) to apply a new innovative approach called “vested outsourcing.” One of the goals is to design and deliver sustainable real estate solutions. Goals and targets are built into the process to ensure that all parties have a vested interest in achieving success.
