University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
OP-3: Building Operations and Maintenance

UNC uses Energy STAR Portfolio Manager to measure and track energy and water consumption. The Energy Conservation Measures Program is an existing building commissioning effort utilizing in-house labor, outside contractor support, and minimal funding to achieve low cost energy savings. Analyzing and upgrading over 10 million square feet of building space since 2009 has resulted in almost 30% (weather normalized) energy savings and avoided $22 million in energy expenditures. This program, a subset of total energy saving projects, focuses on heating and cooling systems in existing buildings.

Energy Conservation Measures 1. Implement heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) schedules to save energy when buildings are unoccupied 2. Eliminate excess airflow 3. Identify and eliminate simultaneous heating and cooling 4. Implement temperature standards: Summer 76-78°F, Winter 69-71°F 5. Enable and optimize all heat recovery loops and economizers to capture “free” waste heat and cool outdoor air when seasonally appropriate 6. Enlist campus community to shut off lights and equipment 7. Vary air supply temperatures to meet building load while eliminating over cooling and excessive dehumidification.

Staff in energy management, building services, housekeeping, grounds, design and construction services, facilities planning, energy services, environment, health and safety, and sustainability implements these guidelines on an ongoing basis.

Total building space that meets "Eligible Buildings Criteria" = 16,003,590 square feet, excludes parking decks
