LEED Checklist – Existing Buildings

9 Energy Saving Strategies  Install meters  25 ASHRAE level I audits  $1.2m energy-saving projects complete  Library Lighting  Butler Tunnel Lighting  Arena Lighting  ASHRAE level II audits: Bender Library, Katzen, MGC, Sports Center, Ward Circle

10 Case Study: Bender Library  117,940 gsf with electricity, district steam & chilled water, solar PV  5 th largest energy using building on campus

11 Case Study: Bender Library  Lots of room for improvement…  LEED requires ENERGY STAR score of 69 or source EUI 19% better than national average

12 Bender Library Energy Savings  ASHRAE Level II Audit Identified ECMs:

 Completed relighting project for additional low- cost savings winter 2012  HVAC projects (VFDs, controls, replacement AHU) completed summer 2013  Already saved 23%, on target to meet prerequisite Bender Library Performance After 13

14 Target Campus Energy Use* LEED compliance level = 69th percentile * 25 targeted existing buildings.

15 Target Annual Cost Savings 25 targeted existing buildings. Assumes savings in proportion to current electric/gas consumption

16 Next Steps -Determine financing & contracting approach -Invest? Revolving loan? 3 rd party financing? -RFQ for energy conservation measures -RFPs for design & construction -Finalize contracts & financing -Implement projects

17 Lessons Learned  Building-level metering is teaching us which buildings consume the most energy and cost the most to operate  Energy benchmarking is teaching us which buildings are the most inefficient relative to buildings like it  Energy auditing is teaching us that investments in energy efficiency are often financially prudent while allowing us to meet our environmental goals
