Documentation to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
The buildings are all moving towards Siemens BMS for consistency with sub-metering at the equipment level in major buildings to track, analyze and optimize equipment performance by adjusting the logic of the controls.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
LED lighting are used in most campus buildings and exterior lighting
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
The TAC, which received LEED Gold for construction, has passive solar design with glass facing south west exposure and louvers to allow winter sun in but not summer sun.
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:
None
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
EnergyStar and ePEAT required for all standard smaller electronic and appliances. Major HVAC equipment is undergoing a transition to higher efficiency units as resources permit.
