Documentation to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:
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:
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.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Lights in the NORTH and WEST parking lots are LEDs and dark-sky compliant. We have replaced most of the lighting at UMN Morris with LEDs.
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:
Our on-site biomass gasification plant is also combined-heat-and-power. The plant can use natural gas or biomass. Using a 300kW back pressure steam turbine, the plant makes the electricity that helps run the plant.
