None
A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
All baselines were created in 2008 when the university's first Sustainability plan was written.
None
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
All buildings have setpoints for temperature that can be monitored and programmed using Johnson Controls Metasys system.
None
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
In 2011, substantial outdoor lighting upgrades were about half LED fixtures and half induction lighting fixtures. LED fixtures were used predominantly in pole lighting along walkways.
None
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
All academic buildings and recently renovated buildings for student services, student recreation, and facilities management use motion sensors to control lighting.
None
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
Sage Hall and Horizon Village both use passive solar heating with time controlled shades.
None
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
Geothermal systems are installed in two buildings on campus. The Student Success Center has 56 wells and Horizon Village has 58.
None
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
The university has one biodigester located on campus and two more in the community. Heat is generated along with methane gas as organic matter breaks down. The methane gas is stored and then later burned off for energy which is then sold back into the grid.
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:
Johnson Controls Metasys is used to monitor campus buildings for electricity and steam. The University has partnered with Johnson Controls to put real time monitoring systems on each building to track energy use and is updated online for the entire campus community to view.
None
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
All appliances in the dining services including refrigerators and dish washers have been replaced with Energy Star efficient models. The HVAC system was retrofitted in 2011.
None
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
There are two buildings with green roofs to assist in insulation, water run-off, and radiant heat. The academic building Sage has a 5,203 sq ft. green roof.
None
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
Sage Hall has new vending machines with motion sensors to reduce power consumption.
None
