  1. Sustainable Government Symposium Donald Barnes Energy Manager Illinois Department of Central Management Services

  2. What Have We Done? • Department of Central Management Services (CMS) • Shared Services • Procurement • Real Estate Management • Leases • Information Systems

  3. What Have We Done? • Department of Central Management Services (CMS) • Energy Activities • Renewable Electricity Procurement • Temperature Control Standards for State facilities • Energy Consumption Benchmarking

  4. Renewable Energy • CMS aggregated the electricity demand for all state facilities located in the ComEd and Ameren service regions under a single contract • The contract requires the vendor to secure a portion of the supply from renewable resources • 2007 – 3% • 2008 – 4% • 2009 – 5%

  5. Renewable Energy • Volumes • 2007 – 12,750,000 kWh • 2008 – 17,000,000 kWh • 2009 – 21,250,000 kWh • Impact over the first three years • 121,941,000 lbs of Greenhouse Gases (CO2) • 166,617 lbs of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) • 429,930 lbs of Sulfur Dioxides (SO2) • 2,231,913 milligrams of Mercury (Hg)

  6. Temperature Control Standards

  7. Temperature Control Standards • Heating Season • Policy description • Setpoints • Occupied Periods – between 68° and 72°F • Unoccupied Periods - 55°F

  8. Temperature Control Standards • Heating Season • Results • FY 2006 • 2,200,000 therms of natural gas not used • ~$2 million cost avoidance • Greenhouse gas emission reductions

  9. Temperature Control Standards

  10. Temperature Control Standards • Cooling Season • Policy description • Setpoints • Occupied Periods – between 75° and 78°F • Unoccupied Periods - 82°F

  11. Temperature Control Standards • Cooling Season • Results • FY 2006 • 15.2 million kWh not used • ~$1 million in cost avoidance • Greenhouse gas emission reductions

  12. Temperature Control Standards

  13. What Do We Do Now?Energy Tracking And Reduction • Public Act 95-0559 requires Agencies to • Report energy consumption on a quarterly basis • Reduce energy consumption by 10% by 2018 • Establish Agency “Green Teams” to develop energy and environmental impact reduction strategies • CMS to report findings to Governor • CMS Plan • Develop central database to record and analyze energy performance data • Provide technical support to Agencies in reaching the 10% reduction goal • CMS to advocate programming of capital upgrades designed to reduce energy use and resulting emissions

  14. What Can I Do?Energy Tracking • Document each utility account paid by your agency including meter numbers. • Send account information to CMS. • Authorize CMS to obtain utility information directly from providers on your behalf. • Begin reading utility meters and keeping logs as part of facility operations records. • Notify CMS of significant operational changes which will impact utility usage.

  15. What Can I Do?Lighting • Turn off lights in unoccupied offices, employee lounges and conference rooms where possible. • Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs in personal-use desk lamps.

  16. What Can I Do?Office Equipment • Buy only Energy Star-compliant office equipment. • Activate built-in sleep mode settings programmed into office equipment. • Turn off computers and office equipment at the end of the work day.

  17. What Can I Do?Personal Appliances • DO NOT USE SPACE HEATERS. They are a safety hazard and are highly energy inefficient. • Locate shared-use microwaves, refrigerators, and coffee-makers in employee lounges where possible. • Battery-powered radios and desk fans are great alternatives to their plug-in counterparts.

  18. What Can I Do?Temperature Control • Wear job-appropriate, loose-fitting clothes in summer. • Wear job-appropriate, layered clothes in winter. • Adjust blinds/drapes/curtains to restrict direct sunlight in summer and to deflect drafts in winter.
