A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
---
None
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
Our Invensys Energy Management System controls the heating, air conditioning, air handler & heating pump start/stop sequence in most buildings automatically as outside/inside temperatures and time of day dictate.
None
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
Lights in the NORTH and WEST parking lots are LEDs and dark-sky compliant.
None
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
All offices in the Welcome Center have motion censors. The T-8 light fixtures near the exterior walls have built in light sensors which sense the amount of daylight coming in and can shut down to perhaps only 10% use of electricity than what they would use if completely on and still maintain a constant level of light because of the daylight. In addition, there are motion sensors in two of our other campus buildings: Imholte and Science. The Green Prairie Community also used occupancy sensors.
None
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
---
None
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
Our on-site biomass gasification plant is also combined-heat-and-power. So, it is not co-generation, per se, but it is CHP. Using a back pressure steam turbine, the plant makes the electricity that helps run the plant.
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:
UMM has an Invensys Energy Management System that reports water, electricity, and steam use for most of our campus buildings.
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:
---
None
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
VendingMisers were installed by students in collaboration with Plant Services, cutting energy use in VendingMiser refrigerated machines by 40%.
None
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
---
None
