  1. University of California, San Diego Update on Energy & Maintenance Representative Assembly Academic Senate October 24, 2006

  2. Overview • OMP & Deferred Maintenance • The challenges and impacts • How we are responding • Energy • The challenges and impacts • How we are responding

  3. What are O&MP and DM/FR? • Operation & Maintenance of Plant (OMP) • Ongoing services & maintenance required to operate and maintain campus physical plant (buildings, grounds, roads and utility systems). • Deferred Maintenance / Facilities Renewal (DM/FR) • Backlog of planned major maintenance & renewal projects. Insufficient OMP funding accelerates deterioration and increases requirement.

  4. Challenges: Growth with Reductions • Campus Growth • Added 1.1 million MGSF (19%) over last three years • Adding 300 thousand MGSF 2006/07 • Budget Reductions • UC under funded for OMP for more than two decades • State did not fund any operating costs for new buildings in 2003/04 and 2004/05 • UC DM funding eliminated since 2001/02

  5. Challenges: A Large and Complex Campus • UCSD Facilities Reflect its Research Mission • Current replacement value $2.7 billion (state) • Over 240 buildings (state) • 6.4 million MGSF (state) • 1,100 acres • 125 miles of water & gas lines • 32 miles of power cabling • 30 miles of road • Seawater system (800,000 gallons/day) • Central Utility Plant (29 Million-Watt)

  6. How Does UCSD Compare? • Extremely low OMP as percent of asset value • Industry 1.5% ($41 Million) • OP formula 1.2% ($32 Million) • UCSD 0.8% ($22 Million) • Extremely high asset value per Maintenance Technician • Industry $7 Million per tech • UCSD $25 Million per tech

  7. How Does UCSD Compare? • Extremely low DM/FR as percent of asset value • Industry 1.5% ($41M) • OP Model ($30M) • UCSD 0.0% ($0M)

  8. The Funding Gap $82M $62M $24M $23M

  9. What is the Impact? • DM/FR backlog is at least $245 million • 6.4 million MGSF of State Space • Average annual need = $30.2 million for building, road & utility renewal over next 20 years • Per UCOP model • State maintained space only • Recent study found “Resource constraints putting UCSD into dangerous reactive vs. preventive maintenance” state • Studies show facility condition influences student and faculty/staff attraction and retention

  10. How are we responding? • Campus workgroup identified and prioritized most critical DM/FR projects - 79 valued at $36.5 million • Using OMP to address most severe DM/FR issues • Strict Management of Staffing Levels • Reducing Service Levels

  11. How are we responding? • Lengthening Preventive Maintenance Cycles • Delaying Repairs & Equipment Replacement • Aggressively Lobbying OP for full funding of OMP per OP formula, and to make DM priority in state budget • Exploring Deferred Maintenance/Facility Renewal Funding Through Borrowing

  12. UCSD’s State Utility Budget $17.9 M $ 5.5 M $ 2.5 M $ 5.3 M $ 31.2 Million FY05/06

  13. Where do we use our energy? Research Space Office/Classroom Space

  14. Where do we use our energy? Before After

  15. Load Has Increased 23% since FY02/03 (Mwh)

  16. A Research-Intensive Campus Is Energy-Intensive Energy Index (kBtu/sf-yr) State Funding

  17. Challenge: Volatility in the Energy Market Natural Gas • Prices are 3 - 4X CY2000 • Continued volatility & instability • Impact reduced via multi-year electricity contract and purchase of natural gas futures June ‘06

  18. How are we responding? • Operations • Cogeneration, thermal energy storage and chiller sequencing • Energy Management • Centralized Energy Management System (EMS), Energy (LEED) compliance on new buildings, natural gas futures and multi-year electricity contract • Investments • UCOP/SDG&E and UCSD funded energy projects • Renewable Energy and Outreach • Solar Power, Blink, conserve.ucsd.edu & sustain.ucsd.eduwebsites, Incentives

  19. How are we responding? Central Utilities Plant (CUP) • 29 MW Natural Gas Cogeneration facility. • Provides 85% of daily campus energy load. • Reduced Nox from state-of-the-art pollution control system. • Produces Hot/Chill water for campus loop system. Received 2005 San Diego Excellence in Energy Award for innovative energy improvements.

  20. How are we responding? Energy Management Thermal Energy Storage (TES) stores chill water produced off-hours for use during the day, reducing cost and demand on grid. Energy Management System controls energy use in over 80% of campus facilities. 69 KV substation converts electricity to lower cost 12KV rate.

  21. How are we responding?

  22. How are we responding? • Variable Air Volume Fume Hoods modulate air flow, saving energy. • Retrofitting campus facilities with motion controls, CO2 sensors, & variable frequency pump drives to reduce energy use. • Building commissioning insures campus facilities are operating at peak efficiency.

  23. How are we responding? • Obtaining 16% grid energy from renewable sources (20% by 2017). • 12.8 kW PV system, Powell Structures Lab. • Studying the possible use of Seawater for campus cooling

  24. How are we responding?

  25. Energy Efficiency Strategies Make a Difference While growth in research activities creates more intensive use of space, energy consumption per sq. ft. drops

  26. UCSD a Leader in Energy Conservation • 2 Energy Best Practice Awards@ 2005 UC/CSU Sustainability Conference • 2005 & 2006 Innovative Government Energy Efficiency Program Award • 2005 Flex your Power Energy Program Education & Leadership Honorable Mention • 2 Energy Best Practice Awards@ 2006 UC/CSU Sustainability Conference

  27. How Can the Campus Community Help? • Voluntary Conservation • Designate an energy conservation representative • Purchase Energy Star Equipment • Computers, refrigerators, office and lab equipment • Continue Strong Support of UCSD Energy Program • Participation • Energy conservation projects

  28. Summary • UCSD is experiencing the impact of long term inadequate funding of facility and energy needs. • Inadequate funding of OMP & DM/FR creates risk for the University (lost research; health/safety; litigation). • A stable, predictable funding stream, even if modest, allows campuses to leverage available funding. • Predictable funding allows campuses to avoid “premiums” paid when work is done as emergency repair.
