CEEMI Strategies: 1. Behavioral Modifica9ons 2. Building System Op9miza9on 3. Environmental Strategies 4. Energy Strategies 5. Capital Improvements 6. Building Cer9fica9on 7. Educa9onal Integra9on
Comprehensive Energy and Environmental Management Initiative
Strategy #1: Behavioral Modi,ications Real Savings… § Restrict Thermostat Setpoint Range on Trane Tracer System: • heat no higher than 71 degrees • cool no lower than 73 degrees
§ Modified Cutler Hammer Ligh9ng Control Schedule: • manual on switch in mornings • classroom sweeps at evening intervals
…Reduc%on in kwh/therms up to 10%
Strategy #1: Behavioral Modi,ications Best Practices in Food Service Real Savings… § Water § Electric instantaneous heaters § Aerators on hand wash sinks § Electricity/Gas § “Just In Time” Opera9ons (ovens, hot wells, warming cabinets) § HVAC § Close F/C doors during deliveries § Vacuum coils on condenser units § Add frequency drives on AHU’s
Strategy #1: Behavioral Modi,ications Reduce Printing Waste
Real Savings… §
73,214,882 Copies Made in ‘08/’09
§
Established Copy Limits in ‘09/’10
§
Goal: 20% Volume Reduc9on (14,500,000)
§ Actual Reduc9on: 19,000,000 …$190,000 Savings in One Year!
Strategy #2: Building System Optimization Rezone Building Temperature Controls
Real Savings…
Temperature Controls at Wood View ES: 1. 2.
3.
4.
Rezone building to separate interior and exterior spaces Wrote program to monitor average and extreme temperatures at perimeter Wrote program to allow override control of outside air dampers Wrote program to allow override of classroom cooling dampers
Fan energy dropped by nearly 70%, represen9ng $250 per week savings, per school!
Strategy #2: Building System Optimization Pumps, Fans and Variable Frequency Drives
Real Savings…
From Summer of 2007 through today: § Over 30 Variable Frequency Drives installed on AHU’s, RTU’s, Fans, Chiller/ Boiler Pumps § 2 “Fan Walls” installed for AHU’s § Mul9ple new efficient Chiller/Boiler Pumps
§ Used in house labor for all installa9ons
Strategy #2: Building System Optimization Utilize Technology
Building Automation System (BAS): § Utilize Trane Tracer Software as Platform § Migrating to Trane’s ES Web Based System § Allows Universal Monitoring and Response
to Temperature Control in the District § Future Goal is to Incorporate ‘Dashboard’
Capability
Strategy #3: Environmental Strategies Recycling Pick-‐ups at Schools
Real Savings… § Re-‐evaluated recycling dumpster pick-‐up at schools § Went from 2 pick-‐ups/week with 6 yard dumpster to 1 pick-‐up/week with an 8 yard dumpster
Annual savings of $3,900 for our elementary schools
Strategy #3: Environmental Strategies Recycling Pilot Program: Plastics, Metal & Paper
Identify and Educate Staff/Students of Opportunity Goal for Each Cafeteria and Kitchen: from 7 bags of trash daily to 5 bags of trash and 2 bags of recycling daily 2 bags diverted daily X 100 school days (175 days/school year) X 12 elementary schools 2,400 bags diverted from landfill each year!
Strategy #3: Environmental Strategies Recycling Program: Scrap Material
Initiated by Grounds Department… • Collect scrap material from district projects • Normally would end up in landfill • Transport material to recycling yards
…Collect approx. $25,000 annually in scrap payments.
Strategy #3: Environmental Strategies Recycling Pilot Program: Styrofoam Styrofoam (polystyrene) Recycling: § Over 1 million Styrofoam Lunch
Trays Used Annually § Establish Lunch Room Program in
Each School to Clean and Stack Trays § Transport Bagged Trays to Recycling
Center § Goal is to further reduce trash
quantity and increase recycling amount
…Over 20,000 trays a week diverted from landfill.
Strategy #3: Environmental Strategies Bio Soils on Grounds Work
Real Savings… § Jane Addams Site Improvement Project § Obtained Soils Free of Charge from Metropolitan Water Reclamation District § Used as Amendment to Topsoil § Improves Soil Quality § Adds Organics § No Weeds § Reduces Long Term Soil Maintenance
…saved $12,000 on new soccer field (40 semi-‐loads @ $300/load)
