ENERGY CONSERVATION & BUILDING STANDARDS Brian Deal, Fred Hahn, Karl Helmink, Claire Mc. Connell, Dhara Patel, Claudia Szczepaniak, Scott Willenbrock

Building Energy Conservation TARGET Reduce Building Energy Consumpti on 20% by FY 2015 • 30% by FY 2020 • 40% by FY 2025 •

Green House Gas Emissions TARGET Reduce building related GHG emissions by: a) 15 percent by fiscal year 2015 b) 30 percent by fiscal year 2020 c) 40 percent by fiscal year Conservation is demand driven GHGs are best assessed at source � Mix of sources change over time Standard GHG calculating procedure for individual processes to track progress is needed

ECRM Measures Undertaken TARGET Complete all SAICprescribed energy conservatio n measures by 2022. Energy Performance Contracting � � Retrocommissioning � � all lighting to be LED by 2050 Adaptive Bi-Level Lighting � 93% of campus fixtures by the end of 2014 LED Campus � 27% = avg energy reduction, >$20 M cost avoidance 50+ campus buildings covering over 7 million gsf and this includes most of the larger campus Lighting Retrofits � 2 EPC projects completed totaling $2 M annual savings 18 buildings have been selected for ESCOs by 2022 SSC funding Grants � Funding provided by Chevrolet and matched by campus leadership contributed over $1 million for continuing efforts towards carbon neutrality in 2050

ECRM: Goal Revisions ESCOs � � Implement infrastructure to provide capital for auxiliaries to request RCx/ESCO Examine cost/benefit of expanding the ESCO program Retro. Commissioning � 5 million gsf of auxiliary space need to be Retrofits � Study deep retrofits of existing buildings, � Specifically: Everitt Lab & the Mechanical Engineering Building including Implement HVAC occupancy sensors Fume Hoods There are buildings like the Illini Union that need larger control installation projects ($ 1 million +) We need a better way to manage campus fume hood inventory. VAV systems with occupancy sensors for unoccupied ventilation rates More campus engagement is needed 20% reduction of operational fume hoods on campus? Get the word out � conservation successes increase awareness and competition

Decentralized Energy Billing TARGET Implement decentralize d energy billing at the college level. Decentralized Billing � Goal is behavioral change � Energy Conservation Incentive Program (ECIP) � Voluntary/ ‘virtual’ billing Needs more analysis and consensus on way forward/short and long term strategies Institute a Revolving Loan Fund personal responsibility Analyze decentralized energy billing at the college level Peer institutions have successfully implemented Stanford established baseline energy usage for each building. If individual buildings’ or units’ energy usage goes beyond their established baseline they are charged for the difference. If usage went below the baseline the dean of the department is awarded the funds saved and can use the money however they would like. Revolving Loan Fund � � � Student Sustainability Committee Office of the Chancellor and of the President $2 million in this fund presently -- scheduled to be allocated to proposed projects during the fall of 2014

Sustained Performance TARGET Allocate proper maintenance funds to ensure that the energy reductions are sustained, and reorganize building maintenance procedures to support long-term energy savings Preventative maintenance team � PM maintenance and follow up work behind RCx � More manpower will be allocated to this effort over the next couple of years

Petascale TARGET Offset the GHG impacts of the National Petascale Computing Facility when the next contract is negotiated. 1) Impose charges for the purchase of renewable energy at the National Petascale Computing Facility Offset GHG Emissions at Blue Waters � No plans or progress

Space Management/Growth TARGET Incorporate a "no net increase in space" policy for the entire campus by 2012, including auxiliary units and rental space Implement a space marketplace to enable rewards for space reduction and swaps. Goal Revisions/Additions College leasing programs i. SEE has started some campus conversations in this area.

Building Standards TARGET Any new buildings or major renovations should be net energy neutral or a net energy provider by 2025. Move LEED certification requirements from Silver to Gold for new buildings and major renovations by 2011, and LEED Platinum by 2015. Apply LEED Gold construction standards without certification for all other construction projects. Currently planned projects should demonstrate at least a 30 percent improvement in building Goal Revisions/Additions � Move to Net Zero energy performance standard?

Looking Forward General Paths to Reductions � � � Conservation Broader Participation Tracking and Monitoring Specific Paths � � Temperature control improvements Continue installation of new DDC systems Invest in Fault Diagnostic Software (new technology) Retire "Older Energy Intensive Mechanical Systems” � � including chillers Buildings like Turner Hall, Newmark, . . etc. Improved energy efficiency in laboratories Automate/Improve room level controls More DDC systems w/ occupancy sensors Average room occupancy rate of 25%
