ENERGY AND WATER
ACHIEVE A 50 PERCENT REDUCTION IN BUILDING WATER CONSUMPTION BY 2015 AGAINST THE 2002 BASELINE.
STRATEGY 2 TACTICS:
2012-2013 PROGRESS:
Develop reporting and tracking processes for campus contractor water use.
Existing processes require review and standardization. A thorough review is planned for fiscal year 2013-2014.
Develop improved reporting and tracking process for campus irrigation water use.
Scheduled for development in fiscal year 2013-2014.
STRATEGY 3
IMPROVE ENERGY DATA MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES AND MAKE DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS UTILIZING ENHANCED ENERGY DATA.
Develop energy dashboard weekly and monthly measurement and tracking reports for the campus combined heat and power facility.
A performance and tracking report and a real-time and trending energy dashboard have been developed. Further performance and tracking refinements are being developed by a consulting engineer.
Install campus level energy analysis software with exception reporting tools to more closely monitor building energy use. The software will integrate with the existing campus building automation system and will have the ability to generate energy dashboards suitable for public kiosk or other campus video displays. Similar expert systems have been used to reduce building energy use 5 - 10 percent.
Capital funding was approved in April 2013. A request for proposal (RFP) was prepared and issued; however, the vendor bids were not responsive. A new, less restrictive RFP will be issued in the second quarter of fiscal year 20132014.
STRATEGY 4
TRAIN AND EDUCATE STAFF AND BUILDING END-USERS TO PROPERLY OPERATE AND MAINTAIN BUILDING SYSTEMS IN AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT MANNER.
Implement a Campus Energy Regulation.
Draft of standard operating procedures have been presented to the Campus Environmental Sustainability Team to supplement the proposed sustainability policy.
To achieve optimal peak efficiency, develop a rolling schedule of evaluation and tune-up of the 40 standalone boiler systems that produce heat for campus.
Building Maintenance and Operations is developing a building boiler evaluation and tune-up program. Funding is authorized.
