Effective Energy Management - Savings Summit 2013
- 2. Definition: The sum of measures planned and carried out to achieve the objective of using the minimum possible energy while the comfort levels and the production rates are maintained. Energy Reduction: Goals that focus on reducing energy consumption Energy Conservation: Long term goals that focus on minimizing energy consumption over time What is Energy Management?
- 3. • Increased Global Demands = Higher Sustained Prices – Electricity, Natural Gas, Coal, Oil • Do NOT have a Baseline • Aging Buildings and Equipment • Climactic Effects and Disasters • No Buy In from Staff Pain Points
- 7. Reality Check • The combined number of Commercial and Industrial Facilities in the USA is over 5 million. • America’s Commercial and Industrial Facilities spend more than $202.3 billion annually on energy. • $20 Billion would be saved if Commercial and Industrial Buildings improved by just 10 percent. (Source: Energy Star) Awareness alone can get you up to 10% in savings.

- 9. It Can Be Done • Energy Star rated buildings use 35 percent less energy and generate 35 percent fewer Greenhouse gas emissions compared to average buildings. • Buildings that have earned the Energy Star cost 50 cents less per square foot to operate. (Source: Energy Star) It Starts with the Bills and it Ends with the Bills!

- 20. What do the Bills Tell You? • What I am spending and using • Helps me establish a baseline • Understand my high and low performing buildings Gather Utility Bills
- 22. What the Energy Policy States • Rising Utility and Maintenance Costs are a concern. • A trained employee is needed to manage energy‐related issues. • The Administration is authorizing the Energy Manager position. • Certain energy management goals will be obtained. • A plan will be prepared and implemented. • Incentive and reward ideas will be considered
- 24. • Each Building is Different • Individualized Energy Plan • Start with a friendly Building Building Policies
- 25. Annual Energy Audits Knowing what you have and the condition it is in is essential to saving energy. • Inventory Equipment • Develop records of problem areas • Record changes in building use. • Refine list of needed projects.
- 27. What should you be doing??? • Develop relationships with facilities and building staff • Maintaining Equipment essential to your Buildings through a routine PM program • Establish an Energy Master Plan for replacing inefficient equipment • Implement Technology that ensures more efficient use of energy
- 28. Facility Director • # of Reactive Energy Equipment WOs • # Climate Control WOs • # PM Energy Equipment WOs • Technical Issues Energy Manager • Monthly Energy Cost and Use Trends per Building • Monthly Energy Cost and Use Trends by Utility • Energy Action Plan Working as a Team
- 29. [Motivation] – Low Cost • Involve building occupants • Make decision makers aware • Train staff • Reward • Provide information Changing Human Behaviors
- 30. The Winds of Change Power of the People! • Sustainability Council: Made up of faculty, staff, and students from different departments. • Internal Energy Competitions • Challenge other schools or even different districts in the same area. • Leverage the community by working with different groups to use energy more efficiently.

- 35. Education Leads to Understanding Sustainability, Energy & the Environment Student‐driven, Core Content‐based 8‐step program Step 1: Form an E=USE2 Team Step 2: Energy Assessment (Secret Energy Audit, Plug Load Survey, Light Level Survey, KGHS Energy Inventory) Step 3: Awareness & Education (Light switch/exterior door stickers, posters, video, patrol Post-Its) Step 4: Design/Implement Sustainability School Improvement Project; KAW Excellence in Water Education Award; LiveGreen Lexington Games Step 5: STEM and our Environment (UK College of Education) Step 6: KY NEED Youth Awards for Energy Achievement program Step 7: Summary & Wrap Up: School Energy & Sustainability Plan Step 8: Recognition and Reward ($$$)
- 42. Refrigeration • Checking temperatures and regulating on refrigerators and freezers • Inspecting compressors and related components Building Envelope • Re‐caulk all open cracks of exterior • Check all outside doors for weather seals. • Limit/restrict usage of outside doors where safely possible. • Do not open windows or doors for ventilation ‐ adjust the system. Preventive and Proactive Maintenance Measures
- 43. Electrical • Inspect Lighting and ballasts • Install and check operation of room occupancy sensors • Turn off computers, printers and copiers at the end of each day • Turn off classroom lights after special events and after cleaning • Removal or payback concerning personal appliances Preventive and Proactive Maintenance Measures
- 45. Energy Master Planning The typical return on investment for energy efficient projects: HVAC Renovation = 5‐7 Years Lighting and Controls = 3‐5 Years *Retro‐Commissioning = 1 Year Operations Changes = 6 Months *Commissioning for Existing Buildings (sometimes referred to as retro‐commissioning) is a systematic process for investigating, analyzing, and optimizing the performance of building systems by improving their operation and maintenance to ensure their continued performance over time. This process helps make the building systems perform interactively to meet the owner’s current facility requirements. The Necessary Evil
- 47. Making it Easier
- 48. Continuous Communication Regular Communication at all levels is necessary to create the best possible energy program. • Visible: It must be seen. • If people don’t see it, it isn’t important. • Relevant: It must meet a need. • Support comes from those who know the WHY. • Responsive: It must support, not hinder. • They work with you when you work with them.
