A list of new construction and major renovation projects that indicates the green building code, policy/guideline, or rating system that applies to each building:
In August 2017 construction was completed on a 66,000 square foot Kearney Center, and it was built to LEED silver standards. The building did not pursue LEED certification, but included many of the key elements in the design features. Optimized energy performance is the key Net- Zero Ready design feature of the new Kearney Center with a goal of an average of 31 kBtu/sf/yr, while the national average college campus building energy usage index is 130.7 kBtu/sf/yr(Energy Star, 2016). Currently, the building is trending around 29 kBTU/sf which speaks well of the design, implementation, and Central Community College’s commitment to sustainability.
The building has energy sub-meters installed to measure the total building, HVAC, lighting, and plug load power consumption. The meters allow the energy usage of the building to be continuously monitored so benchmarks can be established and areas for improvement can be identified. A real-time dashboard displays and tracks electricity consumption that can be displayed on the campus website or lobby video wall. This data is connected into the building automation system to allow for load shedding strategies to be implemented when the building demand exceeds a predetermined level.
Currently, the real-time energy monitoring software has a live summary since September 7 that can viewed at http://www.egauge3169.egauge.es/5a0f6. The e-Gauge software can differentiate between plug loads, HVAC, and lighting. The energy monitoring system has a real time interface revealing potential issues every second. Also, eGauge sends facilities directors text and email alerts for unexpected demand or other costly failures (https://www.egauge.net).
