1 Fellows in Facilities and Energy Management: Advancing Sustainability Solutions Through Workforce Development

2 Program Impact 22 Fellows to date Fellows realize or identify savings of an average of 140,000 kwh/site per year Over $1.5 million dollars saved across 15 campuses/districts

3 Structured Support Framework First Year funding is critical to demonstrate value to campus administrators Verified Savings of $95K to date, with additional projects in progress By Year Three, campuses commit to co funding For , campus funding at 50% of PG&E support For , well over 50% co-funding anticipated

4 Replicable Model, Consistent Growth Count of Campus/District by Year Current Campuses/CCDs UCSC* College of Marin San Mateo Cty Contra Costa Santa Rosa Mendocino-Lake Peralta Total *First UC/4 year school

10 Creating a Roadmap to Zero Net Energy Controls changes and building campus recognition of sustainability targets Winter break setback Spring gap non-essential buildings shutdown Targeted summer gap non-essential building shutdown Winter break, spring gap, and summer schedule setbacks 10% reduction in Jan-May 2018 campus energy use compared to baseline Building campus recognition of sustainability efforts, successes, and shortcomings

11 Creating a Roadmap to Zero Net Energy Solar + EV Charging Stations Project Planning Managed planning and district approval process for solar carport systems with EVCS at two largest campuses, totaling 945 kw Will provide approx. 80% of electricity usage for main campus

12 Successes & Looking Forward Institutionalizing sustainability through board policy and administrative procedure Finalizing Draft of Energy Master plan Roadmap to Zero Net Energy by 2030 Recommended Energy Efficiency Measures Evaluating and reducing water use with a new cloud-based irrigation system with remote weather stations

13 Lighting at SRJC Allison Jenks

14 Totals Three buildings Gross Square Footage = 92,551 1,835 lights 267 sensors

15 Costs Material: $136, Labor: $278,500 Incentive $21, Maintenance Savings: $8,067/Year Occupancy Sensor Savings: $10,712.21/Year LED Savings: $26, /Year

17 Sustainability at SRJC

18 Ambitious Goals

19 Have plan now grassroots for funds Needed Funds for ambitious Goals. Sustainability Can save the Budget! Combined was able to gather 32.5 million dollars in Measure H funding along with Prop 39 funds, and Schedule Maintenance Dollars to pay for deep green projects, put us on track to reach our sustainability goals

20 SCJCD Photovoltaic project 3.5 MW

21 1 MW Battery Storage

22 Geothermal Condensing Loop

23 Central Plant with geo-field integration

24 Highlights Projected minimum of 1.3 million in Utility savings (Electricity, Gas, Water, & Sewer) to college General Fund. Projected close to 1 million in rebates (SGIP, City of SR, PG&E) Solar to power 50% of District electricity consumption. Led light retrofit across District to reduce power consumption by 15%. Central plant and Geo-field increase energy efficiency and decrease building maintenance while remaining flexible to future design changes Student Facilities Interns have been able to learn about all these projects from design to construction.

25 The Dream for an Energy Geek

26 SRJC Microgrid Design

27 Challenges Persistence of savings - lack of maintenance funds, maintenance personnel Electrification though battery storage is making electricity cost comparable with gas per unit of btu. Lack of experienced and trained building operators who are versed in controls, and metering information systems Ongoing funding for sustainability

28 Campus-Wide Sub-Metering and Energy Efficiency Project Management Samantha Ettinger University of California, Santa Cruz

29 Utility Sub-Metering Purpose: Requires updated single lines which notifies of energy efficiency retrofits and better energy management. Achievements: Created accurate virtual meter calculations for loads serving multiple buildings 14 updated single lines uploaded into Energy Cap Implementation of E-Gauge meters at Merrill College; dollars saved on improper recharge Investigation of Cowell Electric metering led to repair of PML/Ion meters installed in 2000; meters added to Tridium/SCADA energy management systems. Framework for future energy efficiency projects and programs where net-energy metering informs incentives and actualized energy savings

30 Energy Efficiency Project Management Purpose: Reduction in kilowatt-hours, carbon dioxide, and dollars spent due to shorter run time, higher efficiency equipment, or both. Achievements: Communications Building LED Lighting Conversion and Occupancy Sensors Projected Savings: 33,233 kwh saved per year Lighting ON/OFF Status $4,500 dollars saved annually on data center alone SIR: 1.14 ULT High Efficiency Freezer and Combination Retrofit 57,362 kwh saved per year $7,744 saved annually on retrofit of 28 high efficiency freezers SIR: 0.54 O OF 2/26/18 2/28/18 3/2/18 3/4/18 3/6/18 3/8/18 3/10/18 3/12/18 3/14/18 3/16/18 3/18/18 3/20/18 3/22/18 3/24/18

31 Next Steps Fellowship Extension through August: Three colleges sub-metered with updated single lines Elena Baskin Village Pathway Lighting LED conversion Humanities Buildings LED lighting conversion Incentivize colleges on campus to reduce energy consumption Implementation of wireless communication of gas meters to SkySpark Education RCX 101: Existing Building Commissioning year-long intensive course Benchmarked Biomedical Sciences Facility in Energy Star Portfolio Manager and DOE s Building Performance Database Plotted average monthly outside air temperature against average monthly kwh and therm usage OSA Temp (Degrees F) Biomedical Facility-OSA Temp vs. R² = kwh Usage Jan Feb March April Max Temp May June July Min Temp August Sept Oct Nov Dec Months kwh of the Consumption Year kwh 100 OSA Temp (Degrees F) 0 Biomedical Facility-OSA Temp vs. Therm Usage Max Temp Min Temp Jan Feb March April May June July August Sept Oct Nov Dec Months Gas Consumption of the Year-2017 Linear (Gas Consumption) R² = Therms
