A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
Baseline selected based on available data.
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
The campus employs a 68-78 temperature threshold on our thermostats. There are three systems currently used across campus.
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
The campus has exterior LED's along with parking lots, parking structures, pedestrian areas, and building exteriors. The campus is in the process of pursuing an interior 25 watt T8 retrofit to LED = 4 Million kWh savings.
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
The campus currently uses a multitude of occupancy/vacancy sensors on campus. The technologies used are PIR and Ultrasonic. We also have wireless PIR occupancy sensors in the Titan Gym. The campus is adding various wireless controls over time.
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
CSUF has a 4.4 MW natural gas powered jet turbine generator feeding waste heat to (2) absorption machines. The machines make both heating hot water and chilled water that is stored in the campus' thermal energy storage tanks.
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
CSUF completed a milestone MBCx project in our Education classroom and is currently beginning the process of two other buildings.
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
The campus has a substantial Andover EMS system in every major campus building. We also utilize the Schneider PME and EEM system to meter and run data analytics for proprietary ad-hoc reports.
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
VFD's in various applications on campus. Demand control ventilation in laboratories, and CAV to VAV applications. Additionally, Pneumatic to DDC.
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
Currently recipients of a Chancellor Office grant for water meters for our landscape irrigation and buildings. Drought Tolerant and turf removal strategies on hold for budget.
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
The Vending Mizer product is used at some vending machines on campus. This product turns off the refrigeration and lighting system in the vending machine when vacancy of the area is detected.
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
Campus Wide T8 to LED tubes approximately 60,000 lamps to be completed 2015 which equals 4 Million saved kWh. Exploring an additional 2 MW of Solar PV for covered parking and rooftop systems.
