APPLIANCES/LIGHTING: DUC, SEIGLE, AND THE DANFORTH CAMPUS Lindsay Aronson, Jacob Cohen, Will Fischer, Matt Mitchel, Alan Pinkert EECE 449, Spring 2010
2
Project Objectives We aimed to : Examine lighting and appliances in the DUC, Seigle Hall, and on the Danforth Campus Look at energy consumption by appliance and by space Show trends and suggest improvements to reduce the carbon footprint of Washington University
3
Approach and Methodology Started by identifying how to breakdown spaces within each given area Researched appliances found in the different kind of spaces identified and determined their wattage Determined hours of use for appliances/lighting To confirm, took metered energy data, subtracted HVAC consumption, and compared calculations
4
Further Approach and Methodology: Danforth Campus Obtained space breakdown data from the Department of Space Utilization Eliminated and grouped together specific spaces
5
Electricity Breakdown: Danforth Campus Final Analysis: 23,000,000 kWh/y consumed on Danforth Campus. Compared to previous observed value of 68,500,000 kWh/y. (33.5% accounted for)

Results for DUC Food Service

Summary and Conclusions Circulation area is the largest energy consumer Recommend installing motion sensor lights Computers are another major energy drain Stand-by should be used during the day, but at night computers should be shut down completely Other recommendations: Install motion sensors in bathrooms and classrooms Use “Night mode” lighting setting in hallways without motion at night Schedule night classes and meetings on first and second floors so that other floors’ lights can be turned off
