1. Grounded in Green Facilities Management & Construction has been leading the university into the future by implementing “green” initiatives for years? Let us show you how…

2. Energy Performance Contract Old T-12 fluorescent lamps and magnetic ballasts were replaced with new energy efficient T-8 fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts. Incandescent lamps with compact fluorescents. A campus-wide building automation system was installed. A new energy-efficient chilled water plant and distribution system. Low flow water closets, flush valves and faucet aerators to conserve water. To date, the energy performance contract has saved $2,539,019/year and reduced greenhouse emissions.

3. Converting vehicles to bi-fuel systems (propane and gasoline). Retirement of 38 full-sized gasoline vehicles with high CO 2 emissions and replacement with electric powered golf carts and smaller off-road vehicles. – Recycling waste engine oil, oil filters, and anti-freeze. – Updates to the vehicle fuel station with a new vapor recovery system. Selection and use of earth-friendly cleaning solutions. Phased planting 260 new trees this fiscal year and 200 more each of the next two years. Implementing building envelope restoration projects. Using low volatile organic compound (VOC) latex paints. Campus exterior lighting system replacement. Concurrent Operational Initiatives

4. Cumulative Tons of CO 2 Saved

5. Vehicle Emissions Conserved TWU has conserved CO 2 emissions equivalent to the removal of 31,550 vehicles from the road.

6. Conservation of Trees TWU has saved the equivalent of 42,908 acres of trees by reducing its CO 2 emissions

7. Water Conservation The TWU Outdoor Pool requires 450,000 gallons to fill We have conserved enough water to fill the Outdoor Pool 315 times!

8. Recycling Construction Materials 21 old chillers and a few cooling towers were abandoned in place. Recycled Steel @ 371,760 pounds (185.88 tons) and Recycled Copper @39,908 pounds (19.954 tons) TWU contributed to saving approximately: 232.4 tons of iron ore, 9.3 tons of coal, and 3.72 tons of limestone Saved approximately: 119,335 kilowatt-hours of electricity generation 335 barrels of oil 2,026 million Btu’s of energy, and 744 cubic yards of landfill space

9. What to put in the green and yellow recycling receptacles on campus…. The current recycling dumpsters located outside the Physical Plant Service Center, Golf Course, Bralley, Library and Old Main buildings belong to AbitibiBowater, a recycling company whose nearest local facility is in Arlington. The recyclables accepted in these containers are: As a rule of thumb, AbitibiBowater says, “If it’s clean, it’s dry, and it tears, it’s probably recyclable.” Newspaper Magazines Junk Mail Business Papers School Papers Catalogs Mail

10. Buildings account for: 71% of U.S. electricity consumption 50% of greenhouse gas emissions 30% of raw materials used 12% of water 70% of landfill waste Green buildings’ advantages Total energy improvement25-30%* Energy Savings30% Carbon output reduction35% Water use reduction30-50% Cut in waste costs50-90% *For new buildings that meet LEED standards Sources: American Institute of Architects; City of Dallas; U.S. Green Building Council; U.S. Department of Energy Making a Case for Efficiency

11. FMC’s Design and Construction Standards Environmentally-conscious strategies for energy control and automation systems Daylight views via bright, airy, and open atriums or other gathering spaces External finishes that increase the thermal coefficients of the buildings Indoor Air Quality Construction Management Plan Monitoring and regulation of CO 2 levels Construction Waste Management Plan High Performance Low-E Glass Glazing systems Exterior Shading devices Locally Manufactured Materials

12. General Scope Comparison of a LEED Perspective Performance Contract Lighting: Changing out inefficient lamps and fixtures Lighting controls for scheduling Water : Installing high efficiency water valves and fixtures Improving irrigation system and control Metering of usage Mechanical : Replace old equipment with high efficiency models Install VFD on large motors Control and condition outside air Improve IEQ (Temp. Humidity & CO2 control) Controls: Install new or upgrade existing for better building control Improve Environmental conditions in building Use as measurement and verification tool Monitor and record utility usage (Electricity, water and gas) Lighting: Consideration for daylight harvesting and views IEQ Credit 6.1 and 8.1 -8.4 Up to 5 points possible Water : Rain water harvesting Gray water for irrigation Waterless Urinals Water Efficiency Credits Up to 5 points possible Mechanical : Use non-CFC equipment ASHRAE 62.1 compliance for O/A High Efficiency filters (MERV-13) Improve IEQ (Temp. Humidity & CO2 control) Supports Optimize Energy Performance goals Controls: Plays a major role in the LEED M&V process Energy Star rating of 67 required now Energy & Atmosphere credits (Up to 16 points) Indoor Environmental Quality credits (Up to 4 points) Total possible LEED Credits = 25 points (plus several prerequisites)

13. The Expected Advantages Average decrease in operating costs: 11% Average decrease in energy use: 14% Actual utility cost savings of 20%-40% for new green, and 20%-30% for renovated green buildings respectively

14. How You Keep Score is Important

15. Urban Forestry Management Identify tree type, determine the age, and conduct a physical count – GPS location of trees Leadership projects to write grants for tree replacement on campus – Have a list of volunteers As student initiative in SCI 2103 (Environmental Chemistry project) did a survey of every office on campus

16. House Bill 3693 Directive to establish a goal to reduce Energy Consumption by 5% a year for 6 years Directive to use more Efficient Lighting Publicly Reporting of utility usage and progress to rewards mandated energy reduction goals

17. Commitment 529 University Presidents have signed a pledge to reduce their carbon emissions to zero as quickly as possible.
