  1. Facilities: A Sampling of Sustainability Efforts • Guaranteed Energy Savings Agreement (GESA) • Geothermal • LEED Building Construction • Natural Gas Vehicles • Green Cleaning • Campus Shuttle Bus • Recycling • Biodiesel • Green Roofs • Mulching Mowers • Organic Fertilizer • Tree Plantings • Renewable Energy • Conservation Efforts • Using recycled materials • Green building materials/finishes Energy Website: http://www.wcupa.edu/_Information/AFA/Facilities/Energy/

  2. Guaranteed Energy Savings Agreement (GESA)A 15-year program to reduce energy costs by 20-25% • Improvements to HVAC systems, weatherizing, solar film on windows, boiler plant modifications, campus wide energy management & control • Upgrading Gas & Electrical systems: higher voltage distribution-expansion reducing our electricity costs

  3. GESA - Saving Money

  4. GESA - Saving Resources Annually • 12,400,000 KWH of Elect. Energy • 266,000 MCF of Natural Gas • 115,000 Gallons of Fuel Oil • 37,000 MMBtu of Steam • 20,000,000 Gallons of Water & Sewer • (- 500) Tons of Coal

  5. GESA - Reducing Emissions • 5,300 tons of Sulfur Dioxide • 7,800 tons of Carbon Dioxide • 19 tons of Nitrogen Oxides

  6. Geothermal: A Timely Opportunity • 50 Year old Steam Plant • Title V & Air Emissions • Reduce Utility Costs • Residence Hall Replacement (33%) • 4 E&G Building Renovations (14%) • GESA new HVAC systems in 2 Buildings (8%)

  7. Geothermal Benefits • Emission Reduction • 85 tons SOx • 54 tons NOx • 44 tons particulate • Title V Permit • Utility Savings: • $1 M/yr • $18.6 M over 15 years
