A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
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:
The campus Cogeneration Plant, placed in service in 1994, uses natural gas as fuel source to produce approximately 70 percent of the campus’ electricity needs. For over two decades it also utilized landfill gas from a local landfill, which was a diminishing supply. Waste heat from the production of electricity, along with additional natural gas, is used to produce steam for campus heating and for humidification, cooking, and sterilization. Steam is also used to produce a portion of the chilled water used to air condition many of the campus buildings. Together these mechanisms provide 90% of the energy for the entire campus.
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
UCLA has a decades long history of energy efficiency ranging from lighting fixture replacement to occupancy sensors. More recently, deep energy efficiency work through the Smart Buildings and Lab program focuses on retro-commissioning and audits to identify Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs). MBCx (monitoring based commissioning) through analytics software transitions buildings to a proactive approach after project completion.
