None
A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The energy building consumption baseline was adopted to align with the same year when SFU began taking a full inventory of operational Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the year 2010.
None
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
LED lighting has been installed in numerous parts of the university. One recent project featured the replacement of older lighting in the Academic Quadrangle concourse with LED lighting, funded by the SFU Sustainable Utilities Revolving Fund.
None
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
In the summer of 2008, SFU has put up 2 sets of solar collectors on the roof of the Facilities Management Building.
The solar hot water system utilizes the energy from the sunlight to heat the water. It is designed to work with the domestic hot water heater in the building. In the system, a heating fluid (Glycol) is pumped into the solar collectors where it is heated. The heated fluid is then pumped into a heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to the water.
The solar hot water system not only provides domestic hot water to the building, but it also helps SFU reduce natural gas consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The system allows SFU to reduce about 40 GJ of natural gas and offset about 2,000 kg of greenhouse gas annually.
None
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
N/A
None
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
Through the BC Hydro's Continuous Optimization Program (C-Op) program a total of 19 buildings on the Burnaby campus are now connected to energy dashboard displays. These displays provide live data on energy performance, and increase the ability of the Energy Management Office and the operational staff to review energy performance of all the buildings in close to real-time. Performance by the remaining SFU buildings continues to be monitored for future energy project opportunities.
None
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
---
None
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
