A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
Scheduling is used within a building automation system to set occupied and unoccupied hours for areas within the building. Thermostats within an area that is scheduled as unoccupied are automatically set back to save energy. Standby mode, where applicable, is used when a space is scheduled occupied but an occupancy sensor indicates that the space is vacant.
Standard Thermostat Set Points:
Mode | Heating | Cooling
Occupied | 70F | 75F
Standby | 68F | 77F
Unoccupied | 60F | 80F
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
SIUC has standardized on LED lighting for new indoor and outdoor lighting.
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
Vacancy sensing is employed to automatically turn lights off. Lights must be manually turned on. Occupancy/vacancy sensing is also used to reset thermostat set points and to reduce outdoor air requirements in HVAC systems.
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
SIUC has 3 geothermal heat pump systems:
McLafferty Annex: 130 ton distributed system, vertical wells
Transportation Education Center: 100 ton central system, vertical wells
Stone Center: 30 ton central system, vertical wells
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
The SIUC steam plant produces steam for campus heating and cooling from natural gas and coal boilers. Our circulating fluidized bed (CFB) coal boiler produces high pressure steam, all of which is directed through a back-pressure turbine and 3.5 MW generator before leaving the plant. Electric co-gen production depends entirely on the campus steam load. Co-gen provides roughly 16% of main campus electric energy annually at a generation efficiency of roughly 80%, compared to roughly 31% for electricity purchased from the grid.
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
The following buildings have been or are in the process of retro-commissioning:
Morris Library
Altgeld Hall
Engineering E
SIU Arena
Lingle Hall
Saluki Stadium
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
A continuing effort is underway to expand and improve upon a campus-wide building automation system, called Metasys, which aids in energy efficient operation of building systems. Metasys allows for continuous automatic monitoring of system performance and automatic control for maximum energy efficiency.
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
