A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
Coincides with being signatory to the ACUPCC, to better measure and manage energy usage.
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
Majority of our campus square footage (in the major buildings), is controlled via our Auto-Matrix energy management / control system.
Heating-occupied 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit, unoccupied 58-62 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cooling-occupied 76-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
Exit signs and many locations across campus, especially those locations where either gaining access to or the physical difficulty in getting at fixtures for maintenance is great. For example: Accent lighting, Chandeliers etc.
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
Used in nearly all public restrooms.
Project for coming fiscal year to expand use of occupancy sensors is funded.
Occupancy wall switch sensor use passive infrared technology.
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:
The president's residence a 6,747 sq ft 1839 home is heated and cooled by ground source pumps.
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
Within its power house, Haverford College has emergency generator capacity to power the entire campus. The college however does not, however use this generation capacity to power the campus.
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
In the past year the college has retro-commissioned its 86,390 sq ft athletic center. Next year the east wing 71,135 sq ft of the science center complex will be retro-commissioned.
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
Interruptible electric supply program-When the grid nears capacity they'll ask us to generate our own electricity to help relieve the load.
Demand Energy program-Process that establishes priorities for shutting down unused areas of campus to reduce demand.
Optimum start/stop Program-generally the campus automatically reduces the temperatures in buildings at night to save energy. Optimum Start/Stop automatically starts up units taking into account indoor and outdoor temperatures. e.g. during a warmer evening the heat may come on at 3:10 instead of 2:30 while still maintaining comfort levels.
8,000 points-Monitoring program that assures that night ime setback programs are working. By pushing 5 buttons can receive information on 8,00 locations around campus.
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
Low energy consuming appliances and equipment are the standard choice when purchasing such items
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
Lloyd Parking Lot: wooded
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
75% of vending machines on campus use motion sensors.
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
Installation of electrical sub-metering and an energy dashboard web-site to promote conservation and competition: High efficiency condensing boiler: LED fixtures: vestibule installed at Coop Cafe: Variable frequency drives at Whitehead Campus Center
