Carleton Emissions Survey Total GHG emissions have increased by nearly 40% since 1990. Emissions per student, increased from around 8 metric tons/student to almost 12. Electricity emissions increased even when additional building area was accounted for.

Or If We Believe This

And If This Happens Source: United Nations, World Population Prospects, The 1998 Revision; and estimates by the Population Reference Bureau. World Population Growth, 1750–2150

And This Happens at the Same Time

And This… Should the U.S. Fear Rise of China, India? AMERICANS are having another Sputnik moment: One of those periodic alarms about some foreign technological and economic menace. It was the Soviets in the 1950s and early 1960s, the Germans and the Japanese in the 1970s and 1980s, and now it's the Chinese and the Indians. -Robert Samuelson, The Business Times, 26 May 2005

And If Economics Works in This Case 20062023 17 Years
27
Energy Transition Plan We need a transition plan for 1-15 year time period, 2006-2020 Phase One – Conservation/Reduction Phase Two – Efficiency/Conversion Phase Three – Transition
28
Phase 1: 2006-09 Conservation Lower temperature in the winter (68 0 F)/higher in the summer (78 0 F) Manage plug load Good management practices Calibration of system Building new buildings at 40,000 BTU/Sqft rather than the 98,000 BTU/Sqft average Change lighting sources (same light for less energy) CFL/Super 8s
29
Phase 2: 2010-13 Efficiencies/Conversion Hedging on energy markets Interruptible electric energy sources Additional Building Insulation Metering and Building controls Double/Triple pain windows Co-Generation (on campus, within the community) Additional wind turbines interconnect to the campus Commissioning of systems
30
Phase 3: 2014-2020 Year Transition Rebuilding building systems Self generation of energy Alternate fuels –Hydrogen –Bio-Mass –Ethanol –Solar –Wind –Bio-Diesel
31
Common Energy Conservation Energy Paybacks 1-2 YearsSeal Air Leaks (Looking at this) Seal Ducts (Looking at this) Programmable Thermostat (Building Automation System) Insulated Water Heaters (We don’t have Water Heaters) Heating Tune up (Commissioning of Science Buildings) Efficient Shower Heads (Start Program) 2-5 YearsFlooring Insulation (Not Possible) 3-7 YearsCeiling Insulation (Change with re-roofing) 4-10 Years Storm Windows (Have completed) 5-20 YearsFurnace Replacement (When they reach their life cycle) 6-12 YearsWall Insulation (Difficult) 15-20 YearsWindow Replacement
32
Energy Proposals CO2 Detectors plus Drives at: Recreation Center, West Gym, Cowling Gym, Hullings and Library Commissioning Studies at: Hullings, Mudd, Olin, Library, and Leighton Pools Covers at: Cowling and West Gym Metering of all Buildings Lighting Retofits at: Recreation Center, West and Cowling Gym Steam Trap Replacement
33
Three Challenges for the Next 15 Years Where to prioritize our efforts in short run When to invest in newer technologies –Opportunity to save against future price increases vs. ongoing cost reductions and improved efficiencies as technologies mature Building Collaborations that benefit Carleton and expand our market and economic base – eg. Other colleges or organizations in Northfield or beyond.
