Documentation to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Required core course ES 100 Ecology and the Environmental Challenge requires all students to perform project-based research, often focusing on efficiency and resource conservation. The Center for Sustainable Communities conducts awareness campaigns on energy use and efficiency. Purchasing Policies require energy efficiency as a primary criterion for all equipment purchases
All Job Descriptions include conservation training.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
A Johnson MetaSys BAS system monitors and controls space temp and other subsystems across the campus, withthe exception of two small buildings. (~ 427KGSF is on the BAS )
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
LED conversion Project 3500 fixtures replaced
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:
We have no co-generation
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
Nearly all heating boilers have been upgraded to maximal efficiency units, All appliances maximal energy saver models.
