1. Lansing CSD Program Update November 14, 2011 Chris Santospirito Energy Management Coordinator

2. Typical Energy Savings EPA and DOE estimate energy savings at 30% of annual energy bills for the average school Lansing CSD annual energy bills = $400,000+/- Potential estimated annual savings = $120,000 Portion allocated to low cost improvements = $60,000 TST Boces Energy Management Service

3. NetZero Program Energy related capital projects of $100,000 or less Projects are completed in less than one year Example:  Lansing CSD replaces exhaust fans = $100,000  New York State aid paid in next year -$55,000  NYSERDA incentives -$30,000  Annual energy savings -$15,000  Total cost to the District = Zero Dollars TST Boces Energy Management Service

4. What Have We Accomplished Established a benchmark for annual energy bills using Energy WatchDog Activated the NYSEG Energy Profiler Online for the HS Completed a free NYSERDA energy audit Reviewed the 5-year Building Condition Survey for potential energy cost reduction opportunities Applied and was approved for a $44,192 grant from NYSERDA for school bus idling reduction equipment Replaced all fluorescent T-12 lamps on campus through the NYSEG Energy Efficiency program TST Boces Energy Management Service

5. Future Program Considerations Pursue financial incentives and rebates for energy projects Implement the NetZero program and prioritize energy cost reduction opportunities Monitor and analyze HS electric use from the Energy Profiler output online Maintain the Energy WatchDog utility bill tracking system Continue to search out “low hanging fruit” such as vending machine misers, preventative maintenance, water saving devices Apply for EPA Energy Star rating for each school building TST Boces Energy Management Service
