  1. FIT – P2 CASE STUDY2011

  2. FacilityDescription Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) Private college Founded in 1958 Located in Melbourne Notified as a Hazardous Waste Generator Faculty of 460 and student body of 5,000 City water and sewer system service

  3. Opportunity Centers Facilities Fuel Machine Shop Physical Plant Aquaculture Lab Aeronautics School Marine and Environmental Sciences Physical Science Building Life Sciences Building Performing Arts Center Materials & Universal Testing Labs Building

  4. Operations Targeted • Chemical inventories • Performing Arts productions • Fleet maintenance • Cooling and heating systems • Marine research vessels • Building energy use

  5. Projects Selected Replaced carbureted 2-stroke marine outboard motors with newer injected versions Replaced gasoline-powered vehicles with EUVs Constructed a PV-powered shed to house and charge the EUVs

  6. Marine Repowering Project • Purchased 7 Evinrude E-TEC model outboard motors - $59,000 • Salvage values allowed purchase of 2 additional replacements • More efficient • Less maintenance • Fewer moving parts • No mixing of oil with gas

  7. Marine Repowering Project • Saved • 60 % on gas • 50% on oil • 65% on emissions • Gear oil-change interval tripled

  8. EUVs – Charging Facility Project • Purchased 20 electrical utility vehicles - $200,000 • Constructed a storage shed • Prefab metal Shed - $18,845 • Photovoltaic charging roof panel - $59,760

  9. EUVs – Charging Facility Project • Saved • 30% in fleet fuel use and vehicular emissions • PV panel provides 30% of electricity needed

  10. Expanded Benefits “Exotic” projects chosen Projects are “out-of-the-norm” in nature Served as “test” projects for other applications Motivated the facility to use monies saved to further invest in P2 Projects
