Does the institution use Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology in at least one lighting application? LED applications in exit signs and remote controls do not count for this credit.:
A brief description of the technology used:
Completed & current LED lighting retrofits on campus:
1. Replaced 150W high pressure sodium with 79W LED fixtures at campus gas station
2. Designed a new parking structure with bi-level LED, occupancy sensor-controlled lighting throughout
Other energy efficiency efforts:
Linear fluorescent lighting on 85% of the campus was retrofitted with 25W T8 lamps, premium efficiency ballasts, and occupancy sensor controls within the last 5 years. UCOP Policy requires Energy Star products be purchased when available. Currently, 95% of campus appliances are Energy Star. Between 1995 and 2005 UCSD completed $60M in energy-saving improvements that cut electricity consumption by 20%. In 2009, UC San Diego replaced 514 older computer servers with 270 new servers that perform the same functions but with half the energy consumption, saving the university $680,000/yr. The campus is in the 2nd year of a 3 year, $73M energy efficiency program to reduce energy consumption in 25 of its older buildings by a combined $6M/yr.
