3 Introduction to GoizuetaGreen Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us!

4 Introduction to GoizuetaGreen What is GoizuetaGreen? A student initiative for environmental sustainability at GBS GoizuetaGreen aims to: Reduce resource consumption at GBS Raise environmental awareness at GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us!

5 Introduction to GoizuetaGreen Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! Are my interests aligned with those of GoizuetaGreen? Simply, Yes  Global Warming = Not Good for Anyone  Cost Savings = More Money for Students  Green Goizueta = Better Image + More Prestige

6 Introduction to Our Three Initiatives Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! GoizuetaGreen… Great. So, what will it do? Getting Started: Our Three Initiatives  Light sensors for every room  Visual resource-consumption meters for lobbies  Recycling counter Long Term: National Recognition as Most Green B-School

7 Light Sensors for Every Room at GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us!

8 Light Sensors for Every Room at GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! What are light sensors? Switch or dim lighting based on time, occupancy, lighting-level strategies, or a combination of all three

9 Light Sensors for Every Room at GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! What are the different sensor options? Occupancy-Based Light-Level-Based

10 Light Sensors for Every Room at GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! Occupancy Sensors Best suited to spaces that have highly variable and unpredictable occupancy patterns Passive Infrared Sensors (PIR) and Ultrasonic Technology Used in: classrooms, computer labs, office rooms

11 Light Sensors for Every Room at GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! Light-Level-Based Sensors Day lighting and task lighting Use natural light or situational light Used in: spaces with natural light

12 Light Sensors for Every Room at GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! How effective are these sensors? Before After

13 Light Sensors for Every Room at GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! Why should we install them? Cut peak hour lighting usage by an average of 33% Conserve more than 90% of lighting energy used after 6 PM Save on average 48% of a buildings light energy

14 Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! Visual Resource-Consumption Meters Why do we want visual meters? Compare energy consumption per floor Encourage friendly competition between floors Reduces electricity usage 3%-15% a year Results in lower power bills

15 Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! Visual Resource-Consumption Meters Where do we put the visual meters? Place in central areas of school Add to main lobby Put on each floor of GBS

16 Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! Visual Resource-Consumption Meters Why do visual meters work? Psychological meaning behind concept Saved money is seen Unused electricity is turned off

17 A Recycling Counter in GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! Function: Weigh the amount of recyclables Turn the numbers into amount of resources saved Post the numbers and resources saved

18 A Recycling Counter in GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! More Meaningful Translations of Recycling Output: Recycling 1 ton of paper saves: – 6,953 gallons of water Recycling 1 ton of plastic bottles saves: – 318 gallons of gasoline (18 trips to the pump) Recycling 6-pack aluminum cans saves: – Enough energy to drive your car for 5 miles

19 A Recycling Counter in GBS Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! How to set up a Recycling Counter? Recycling Counter = Investment in an Industrial Weighing Scale AdamLab Model CFW1320a Capacity: 1320lb Cost: $799.99 Overall dimension: 23.6"× 36.4" × 38.2" Website: http://balances.com/adam/bench-scale.htmlhttp://balances.com/adam/bench-scale.html

20 Bringing It All Together Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! 3 Initiatives: Light sensors can save 48% on Goizueta’s Light Energy Usage Visual meter may reduce the overall power bill up to 15% Recycling counter will help promote and quantify recycling goals

21 Bringing It All Together Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! What does GoizuetaGreen look to accomplish? Create Awareness Quantify SavingBenefit Students

22 Bringing It All Together Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us!

23 Questions and Answers Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us!

24 Help Support Us! Intro Light Sensors Visual Meters Recycling Counter Bring It Together Q & A Support Us! Please help support GoizuetaGreen and our three initiatives to improve environmental sustainability at GBS! You can help by: 1. Signing a petition in support of our three initiatives 2. Having other Goizueta students sign this petition 3. Returning the petitions to us by December 15 th, 2007
