How Facilities Can Help Commitment by facilities director Facilities energy committee Energy officer position Include conservation commitment in: Strategic planning Mission & vision statement Staff evaluations Green campus office within facilities
3
Energy Awareness Change campus culture Be realistic Active vs. passive Different strokes for different folks Seize moral high ground Temperature control is critical Develop a multi-faceted campaign
5
Types of Energy Policies Heating and cooling temps Fan run times Dehumidification (reheats) Humidification New construction Space heaters Dorm refrigerators
6
Focus on Energy Pigs Buildings with: Labs, kitchens, pools Buildings with: 100% outside air ventilation systems Summer and winter heating requirements Simultaneous heating and cooling Constant volume terminal reheat HVAC systems 24/7 operation Electric heating No offense to pigs intended
7
Student Projects campus as learning lab Environmental audits Campus dumpster dives Vending machine study Passive cooling project Biomass cogeneration Solar hot water
9
Energy Conservation 101 Avoid it (best but not always possible) Turn it off Turn or slow it down Use a more efficient source
10
Low Cost/No Cost Strategies Energy awareness (Students, Faculty & Staff) Energy conservation competitions Green computing & plug loads Optimize Controls (EMS) Better temperature control Minimize summer dehumidification and winter humidification Fume hood decommissioning Curtailments Consolidating Occupancy Retro-commissioning
11
Best Retrofit Investments Lighting hardware & controls Variable Speed Drives & Occupancy controls Energy source optimization Retro Cx – AHU & Pumping systems Training
12
Energy Reduction Strategies – Occupancy Based Motion sensors – lighting + room HVAC Night setback with override Morning warm up, optimal start Issues with heat pump systems Demand controlled ventilation (CO2) Lg. zones w/ variable occupancy Fan slowdown + flow reduction per schedule HUGE SAVINGS POTENTIAL Saves fan power & OA load
13
College Classroom Occupancy By Hour % of occupancy AHU Retro-commissioning Savings Opportunities 5% Fan Speed & OA Reduction Start/Stop Savings A B C Morning Warm-up Cycle D Demand Controlled Ventilation
