Comparing Efficiency Comparing Sem II and the Library Building energy consumption By Brennon Murphy Derik Archibald

If TESC were to use Seminar II building to its full capacity for classroom use, instead of the Library would TESC save energy and money Hypothesis: 1.Yes, if TESC were to transfer classroom use from the Library to the modern Sem II building it will save a substantial amount of energy and money. 2.No, if classrooms were to transfer from the Library to the Sem II building barriers created by the features of Sem II may prevent full use of the building and may actually make it less efficient than the Library. Thus Sem II may become overloaded making it very inefficient. 3.Null Hypothesis, it is impossible to compute classroom usage only in both Sem II and Library because the barriers with the energy use breakdown.

Accepted Hypothesis Null Hypothesis No meters for Sem II Rough Analysis TESC Total energy before and after Sem II Total Energy after – Total energy before= rough estimate of Sem II energy use.

Promote Energy Efficiency Promote energy efficiency to its full capacity Energy Efficiency at TESC Learn to measure and compare energy usage Provide an understanding inefficiency and solutions Provide TESC with knowledge of energy usage and ways of conserving energy and money.

Factors of Inaccuracy Student population increase Temperature variation Buildings always being heated or cooled Library computer lab and size TESC entire energy consumption data (every building) Construction of Sem II Modular housing, dorms Swimming pool

Electricity Use of TESC

Library & Seminar II Library computer labs Library larger Theoretical comparison Library uses more electricity than Sem II

Gas Consumption vs. Temperature

Energy Costs

Student Population

Conclusion Sem II is more efficient than the library Natural Gas consumption hardly effected Sem II uses less electricity than the Library Sem II = 2.1 kwh/square foot Library = 10.8 kwh/square foot
