  2. “Paw Print” Overview Introduction • Job Responsibilities • Energy Issues and Opportunities Educational Outreach & Programs • Carbon Paw Print Programs Technical Components/Competencies • Building Automation Systems (BAS) • High Performance Building & Audits Strategic Planning • Strategic Energy Plan (SEP) • Petroleum Displacement Plan (PDP) Green Capital Projects • Capital Projects The Future of EM

  3. Job Responsibilities & Description We Wear MANY Exciting HATS! Manage energy needs • Supply & price fluctuations – past, present & future • Overall system performance Technical Competencies/Components • Engineering/Construction background • High Performance Buildings – design, planning, project management • Sustainability & Renewable Technology • EMS/BAS Technology/Software • Researching New Technology Communication & Involvement • Managerial - motivation, leadership, support • Develop Policy • Create & Implement Sustainability Programs • Monitor & Reporting

  4. Job Responsibilities & Description Strategist +Project Manager + Change Manager = Energy Management @ WCU

  5. HolisticApproach Technical Operations Planning & Projects Human Behavior Programs Systematic Concept Method Bodies act as systems of a whole Buildings act as systems a whole Holistic approach Principles of Sustainability Effective & Successful EM must understand these systems and how they interact. "We shape our buildings, then our buildings shape us." -- Winston Churchill

  6. Typical Energy ConsumptionHow much did we spend?

  7. Projected Energy Use in North Carolina (Trillion Btu) 2,732 trillion in 2006 28% total increase from 2005 to 2020 1.7 % per year

  8. Energy Issues, Challenges and Opportunities Fuel sources for Energy needs in North Carolina Petroleum 39% Coal 31% Nuclear 16% Nat. Gas 9% Renew. 5%

  9.

  10. Programs: Reducing Our Carbon “Paw Print” Began as WHEE Recycle & WHEE Save • Successful sustainability programs. “The Low Hanging Fruit” • Energy reduction & awareness. • Waste reduction & awareness. Sustainability Council • Faculty, staff & students developing sustainability efforts on campus http://www.wcu.edu/27314.asp

  11. Programs • Campus Activities • Eco CATS + more • Focus The Nation 2008 & 2009 • Earth Day 2007-2010 • Sustainability Day 2010 • Recycling drives • Faculty/Staff events • Eco PEAKS (LEAD 143) • Western PEAKS FYE - Living Learning Community • Leadership & Sustainability “Be the change you wish to see in the world” --Gandhi

  12. Technical Components Building Automation System: • Monitor & control mechanical systems: • Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Hot Water, Electric, Domestic Water, Chilled Water & Steam. • Yamas/Tridium • Automated Logic

  13. Technical Competencies Energy Audits – survey of energy systems to enhance building performance • Including Efficient: • Lighting • Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning • Office equipment • Building envelope • Water

  14. Strategic Energy Plan • Mandated by the State (Exec Order 26) • Reduce annual Total Energy Consumption 20% by 2010 & 30% by 2015 • Baseline fiscal year 2002-2003 Tracking Measures - Key Performance Indicators (KPI): • Water, electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, propane Components of Performance Plan • Energy Supply Management • Energy Demand Management • Organization Integration

  15. Strategic Energy Plan (SEP) WCU has reduced usage by 34% • Accelerated better building practices • Active energy management practices • Successful awareness program  For more information please go to www.energy.wcu.edu

  16. Petroleum Displacement Plan • Created in 2005 & mandated by the state. • State agencies shall reduce petroleum usage by 20% by January 1, 2011. • Must utilize conservation, fuel-efficient vehicles, hybrids & alternative fuels. 2009-10 Summary Completed Goals: • Purchased 6 Electric Vehicles for Facilities Management • Implemented E-10 - Gasohol • Implemented B20 - Biodiesel • Little expansion of fleet WCU has reduced usage by 19%.

  17. Green Capital Projects • New Health & Human Performance Building (West Campus) • 138,000 sqft($46M) • 1stSilver LEED Certified • Recognizing performance in: • -Site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection & IAQ • Performance Contracting • Agreement with Energy Service Company (ESCO). • ESCO identifies energy conservation measures. • ESCO guarantees savings meet or exceed all project costs. • $5.36M – Coulter, Ramsey Center, McKee Hunter Library, Hoey, Stillwell • HVAC Renovation & Retro-Commissioning • HF Robinson Administration Building (“White House”) • $717K ARRA Grant

  18. What does this mean? • Good news or Bad news? • Climate Change is Real! • Not about saving the Earth. Its about saving the People. • Energy is Expensive & Unpredictable!!!! • National Security • Challenge = Opportunity • Extraordinary Economical & Ecological benefits • Clean (or Green) Industry is BOOMING! 6 in 10 jobs Are you ready for the NEW GREEN ECONOMY? "The time is always right to do what is right.” --Martin Luther King, Jr.
