1. Building Coordinators Network Welcome

2. Building Coordinators Network Meeting Agenda April 13, 2006 Tornado Anniversary – Rod Lehnertz Welcome – Kelli Gray, IMU Building Coordinator North Chilled Water River Crossing – Chris Varo Building Access Controls Update – Dennis Rublaitus & Doug Eltoft Opportunities to Conserve Energy – Chuck McBrearty & Janet Razbadouski

3. Chilled Water River Crossing Link east to west campus chilled water distribution systems currently separated by the Iowa River.

4. Chilled Water River Crossing The project is central to accomplishing one of the three main objectives of UI’s Energy Conservation and Management Strategic Plan: Reliability Conservation Sustainability

5. Chilled Water River Crossing Chilled Water is used primarily for building cooling Central Plant Concept – East Campus (North Chilled Water Plant) – West Campus (West Campus & Newton Road Chilled Water Plants) East and West Campus chilled water distribution loops have operated independently

6. Chilled Water River Crossing Increased demand on East Campus due to changing demands, recent remodeling, acquisitions and new buildings. West CampusEast Campus Capacity: 23,000 Tons 35,000 Tons (2008) 2006 Peak Demand: 20,000 Tons Capacity: 7,000 Tons 2006 Peak Demand: 7,000 Tons

7. Chilled Water River Crossing Distance: 2/3 mile Pipe: 6600 linear feet

8. Chilled Water River Crossing Health Science Campus

9. Chilled Water River Crossing Newton Road

10. Chilled Water River Crossing Near Highway 6

23. Opportunities to Conserve Energy Chuck McBrearty, IT Manager, Facilities Management Janet Razbadouski, Energy Engineer, Utilities & Energy Management

24. Average Annual Costs to operate equipment CRT monitor - $65 - $138 Dell Optiplex computer - $45 Flat panel monitor - $21 Laser printer - $45 DeskJet printer - $9 Copier - $70

25. What you can do Encourage staff to turn computers, monitors and printers when they go home or leave the office for more than 1 hour (this could save up to 50% of the system’s yearly energy usage) Change monitor standby power options setting to 15 minutes or less Phase out CRT monitors and use more networked printers

26. Do the Math! IT equipment accounts for approximately 10% of the total electrical consumption on campus Approximately 25,000 computers on campus Saving $10 on energy consumption per computer will save the University $250,000 per year in energy costs

27. What Facilities Management is doing Remotely turn off all non-essential and not in use Facilities Management computers at 2am every day. Change monitor standby power options setting on all computers to 15 minutes. Deploying virtual servers to reduce energy consumption (4 servers in a single computer).

28. What Facilities Management is doing Monitor in sleep mode using 0 watts Monitor in normal mode using 33.6 watts

29. Computer and Energy Myths Having a screen saver on saves energy My computer will last longer if I leave it on Leaving computers on uses less energy than turning it off and on Turning off and on the monitor while the computer is turned on will “fry” the motherboard

30. Opportunities to Conserve Energy Questions?

31. The University of Iowa Energy Conservation and Management Strategic Plan  Energy Conservation Objectives  10% Energy Reduction by 2013

32. 10% Energy Reduction by 2013 HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THIS?  One Strategy is to Implement Building Occupancy Schedules  Have Implemented Schedules in 8 Buildings  Plan to implement Schedules in 19 Additional Building in FY08

33. Building Occupancy Schedules Equivalent to  Turning Thermostat Down at Night during Heating Season  Turning Thermostat Up at Night during Cooling Season  Turning Off Fans When Not Needed

34. Building Occupancy Schedules Implementation Criteria  Cannot Jeopardize Research Mission of the University  Maintains Occupant Comfort Levels  Need to be able to Accommodate Changes in Scheduling Requirements

35. Role of Building Coordinators Assist Facilities Management in  Obtaining Information on Building Operations  Communicating Information to/from Building Occupants

36. What to Expect  Meeting with Energy Management, Operations and Maintenance, Building Coordinators and other Department Representatives

37. Meeting  Provide Energy Conservation Information to Building Occupants  Determine Optimum Hours for Schedules  Discuss Implementation Procedures and Update Procedures  Opportunity to Discuss Issues/Problems in Building
