UCOP GOAL: Climate Neutrality by 2025
UC San DiegoInvestment in Energy Efficiency Funded by utility incentives and a low interest revenue bond In seven years, UCSD will complete $85.5M of projects, with $13.3M in incentives Program will yield $8.9M in avoided annual energy costs from 48M kw-hr/yr reduction
Energy Efficiency Program Breakdown by Savings by Cost
La Jolla Campus Hillcrest Campus
Clinical Teaching Facility Built in 1978 3 Buildings - 131,000 GSF Medical Research Labs and Office Space 14 Air Handlers Annual Energy Bill: $670,000
Metering Electricity Chilled Water Hot Water Eight different energy feeds required monitoring for M&V Option C: Whole Building Analysis!
Existing HVAC Infrastructure 2 Air Handlers per building plus 2 dedicated vivarium units 1 100% outside air and 1 economizer unit per building
Implemented Improvements Pressure-Independent Chilled Water Valves SAT Reset Sequence Programming to Prevent Simultaneous Heating and Cooling Heating Hot Water Reset Replace Leaking Reheat Valves Replace and Optimize Economizers
Best Practices Meter Installation Upgraded AHUs to Modern Controls MBCx provider worked closely with CUP staff Buy-in from Technicians prevents overriding setpoints Plant staff is taking the training provided and lessons learned to repeat the process at the hospital
Lessons Learned Control Vendor Contracts Operator Acceptance of New Sequences Economizer design Early leak-by detection
Ongoing Improvements VAV Retrofit Continuous Commissioning Reduction of Minimum Room Air Exchange Rates, with Air Content Monitoring Exhaust Fan Energy Optimization Through Air Content Monitoring and/or Wind Speed Monitoring Optimize outside air requirements
