A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
---
None
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
Siemens Building Automation System is used to reduce energy consumption when buildings are not occupied.
None
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
We have been testing LED street lamps and select buildings have LEDs in their fixtures. We are also testing LEDs in parking garages.
None
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
All buildings built in the last ten years have occupancy sensors in some capacity.
None
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
Baylor is undergoing an extensive retrocommissioning endeavor at this time. Across campus, including the Energy Complex, are undergoing drastic measures to reduce the amount of energy consumed. For instance, controls are being audited, equipment scheduling is being implemented, and upgrades are occurring to reduce the amount of energy consumed. Over the next ten years, we are committed to auditing and reducing the amount of energy consumed, as the campus grows larger.
None
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
Siemens Building Automation System is used to meter and manage the amount of energy consumed. Additionally, we have three full-time staff focused on mitigating energy consumed.
None
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
---
None
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
The Baylor Energy Awareness Program started in September 2010. The program is committed to energy and water conservation and developing a campus environment that understands and is committed to the effort while creating a cultural and behavioral change across campus. In order to ensure ultimate long-term success, an energy and sustainability management program will be ongoing and include outreach, awareness, training initiatives and faculty, staff and student involvement.
The Baylor Energy Madness Residence Hall Competition began in 2011. In the spring and fall of 2011, the program successfully completed the first two competitions. Baylor Energy Madness educates students about energy use and reduction and is designed to provide fun activities and events that excite and encourage residents to take responsibility in saving energy and water. It also acts as a forum to educate students in a quantifiable way how their actions can impact electrical and water consumption.
