A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Office of Sustainability runs several occupant engagement and behavior change campaigns focused on building energy use. Outreach and education through newsletter and targeted campus outreach with energy saving tips for academic breaks and seasonal shifts.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
BMS through Johnson Controls with setpoints, setbacks and occupancy/vacancy utilized; Energy Manager through SchoolDude for tracking and reporting; CopperTree Building Analytics for preventative maintenance and diagnostics; Temperature Policy and Green Building Standards; lighting occupancy sensors and auto-shut offs.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Entire campus (buildings and exterior) is almost completely retrofitted with LED lighting and controls as well as occupancy and vacancy sensors.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:
Exploring onsite CHP opportunity.
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
Pursing energy conservation measures and retro-commissioning across campus building portfolio on a continuous basis. Also have begun the process of converting heating to VRFs and heat pumps, in an effort to reduce fossil fuel energy use.
