In 2013 we developed a sustainability metrics survey to benchmark all of our communities progress in reaching our 13 sustainability initiatives

13. Opportunities for Measurement
Hanover - purchased 20 electric meters to measure baseline and reduced electricity 8.5%, Hanover made the commitment to be a 100% green electric power consumer
Oberlin- purchased two Fluke portable data loggers to measure energy reduction opportunities throughout it’s building, and develop optimized energy performance plans
Crosslands energy committee – documented a $50,000 decrease in energy costs (7%) with LED lighting and programmable thermostats
Ithaca - composting 3.5 tons of food waste per month reduced waste stream by 35%
Lathrop - reduced waste stream by 80% with recycling and composting
I would kike to share with you some of the opportunities that came out of our sustainability initiatives

14. Opportunities for Measurement
Chandler Hall - partnered with Ecosave services Reducing $ 80k/yr in guaranteed energy savings with energy conservation measures
Kendal Corporation - invested in infrared testing equipment to help all affiliates conduct building envelope evaluations Measuring thermal heat loss, moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies and air leakage energy losses
Admiral - re-commission of existing building to improve their building’s overall performance by optimizing energy efficient design features and directly addressing equipment performance and system integration issues

15. IT IS TIME FOR A NEW GOAL Utility Master Plan Solar
Purchase renewable energy
CoGen (Combined Heat and Power)
BAS (Building Automation Systems)
Building Standards and dashboards
Zip Cars
Find ways to reduce fossil fuel dependency and measure CO2 reductions
Continued Resident/Board/Staff Commitment and Involvement
At our annual Facilities gathering in 2015 we agreed it was time for a new goal and the goal we agreed on was to reduce fossil fuel dependency and measure co2 reductions

16. Sustainability Metrics Survey
Ted kirpartack , David Jones and myself developed this kendal carbon footprint tacking tool
1st box top left - you imput your utilities consumption per month
2nd box bottom left - you enter you cost per month
3rd box top right - will automatic load your carbon footprint per the month
4th box bottom righ -will totalize your consumption and your total carbon foot print for each utilities

17. Setting Goals: Carbon Footprint
Setting goals with out carbon foot print calculator
The top boxes show your total carbon footprint and cost based on your total utilities consumption
Next in the red reduce my footprint box you set your goal of how much you want to reduce your total carbon footprint
Then in the next boxes you set how much you can reduce your usage for each utilities
That will then automatically load how much of your percent you archived of your over all goal
explain how its works

18. Opportunities at CCRCs
Committed residents who are socially conscious and concerned
Benefits of working as community
Connections with leaders in the field
Significant infrastructure (just under 6 M SF) - varied energy sources provide on-going opportunities for efficiency gains
Opportunities at Kendal which allow for the continued development of environmental stewardship program at our communities include

19. Challenges Pressure to keep capital project budgets in check
Staff stretched for time and resources; turnover
“We dole out energy as if it were free”
“Someone else’s problem”
Sustainability vs. aesthetics
All in all, I am very excited about the cost savings realized at Kendal communities from our sustainable initiatives.
But more than that, I am excited about how the conversation about sustainability among residents and staff has evolved into thoughtful and far reaching considerations of how they and their community can be better informed, and truly have an impact on awareness and care for the environment.
