A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
There is a Green Room and Green Office certification program both which encourage individuals to become more aware of energy usage and efficiency in their dorm room or office. There are kill-a-watt energy meters available for campus members to use to assess their appliance efficiency.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
A Johnson Controls energy management system (EMS) is used on campus. The Energy Manager uses building schedules and the EMS to regulate temperatures and air flow based on occupancy hours. Demand controlled ventilation is used in several buildings where the outside air ventilation rate is based on the indoor CO2 levels.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
The outdoor site, parking lot and roadway lighting for the campus was converted to LED. Six residence halls had their hallway lighting converted to LED. Many buildings have had ballrooms, atriums, soffits, lecture halls and labs converted to LED lighting.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Our newly renovated Alumni Hall has a geothermal heating and cooling system that uses 5 heat pumps and 30 geothermal wells to heat and cool the building.
We will soon have our Community Heat Pumps study completed that will inform the electrification of our campus.
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
In 2017, we installed a high efficiency dish washer in Wilsbach dining hall that saves 500,000 gallons of water and $5,000 of natural gas per year. We are replacing all of our R-22 chillers with new high-efficiency chillers that use climate friendly refrigerant with lower GWP.
