1 Strategic Energy and Water Annual Report fiscal year 2016
2 2 NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION Energy and water are among NC State s most necessary and costly expenses. For more than a decade, NC State s energy management strategies have helped the university conserve vital fiscal and environmental resources. These efficiency strategies are successfully reducing the environmental impact of campus while enabling the university to progress toward utility reduction goals. This report serves as an update on progress toward utility reductions and outlines strategies for the next fiscal year that will contribute to further reductions. HIGHLIGHTS The following are highlights and accomplishments of energy efficiency strategies implemented on campus during fiscal year 2016: Implementation of enhancements in utility meter data collection and utility billing software systems, along with process improvements to reduce potential billing errors. Through collaboration among business units within Facilities Operations, Energy Management compiled the fiscal year 2016 Reinvestment Act claim for more than $2.6 million in energy savings. The university s fourth energy performance contract progressed through the programming phase to determine feasibility of combined heat and power (CHP) technology on Centennial Campus. Construction is set to begin in spring Development of a Curtailment Operations Planning application provides a decision-making tool to determine the lowest cost option for providing steam and electricity to north and central campus during times when natural gas is curtailed. Tune-ups of all the boilers in district utility plants allowed for increased heat transfer, resulting in efficiency increases. Energy Management successfully funded more than $650,000 of energy conservation measures on campus, in part through cost sharing programs with campus partners. Efficiency measures included lighting upgrades, improvements to steam systems and building control upgrades

4 4 NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY ENERGY Campus energy consumption peaked in and has declined steadily since. Compared to the fiscal year baseline, total energy consumption per gross square foot (GSF) decreased by 33 percent (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Energy Consumption per GSF* 180, ,000 energy consumption (btu/gsf) 160, , , , ,000 REDUCTION: 115,692 BTU/GSF 33% 110, fiscal year *Combined Heat and Power Adjustment Methodology: NC State purchases electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and potable and reuse water from third parties. Electricity is also generated on campus using an 11-megawatt (MW) combined heat and power (CHP) system. CHP increases fuel use for on-site power generation, decreases fuel use for boilers and decreases grid electricity (or source energy) purchases. The methodology for reporting the benefits garnered through the operation of the CHP follows the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) measurement protocol outlined by the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) in Reporting Guidance for Federal Agency Annual Report on Energy Management issued September The purpose of the adjustment is to not penalize organizations under the site energy-based performance metric for implementing cost-effective projects where source energy decreases but site-delivered energy increases.
5 2016 Strategic Energy and Water Annual Report 5 WATER NC State began utilizing reuse water supplied by the City of Raleigh on Centennial Campus toward the end of the fiscal year. Reuse water provides a more cost-effective supply of water for cooling towers, irrigation and toilet flushing. NC State maintained a 50 percent reduction, as compared to baseline, in total water consumption (potable and reuse). The rate of potable water consumption showed a 52 percent reduction (see Figure 2) Figure 2: Water Consumption per GSF 1 CCF = 748 GALLONS.0650 baseline.0600 water consumption (ccf/gsf) *REDUCTION reached: total campus water 50% Total potable water 52% fiscal year *With the addition of a reuse waterline on Centennial Campus, this is the first year that NC State used nonpotable water. Total campus water use and potable water use will be tracked separately beginning this year. A new HEPA filter was installed in one of two combustion turbine generators during scheduled maintenance on the CHP system. The filter reduces degradation in performance, resulting in increased electrical output that paid for the cost of the $16,384 filter in less than two months. NC State avoided $288,990 in utility costs during winter break. Since the Winter Holiday Energy Savings Initiative began in 2004, more than $3 million in utility costs have been avoided.
6 6 NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY PROGRESS Energy consumption per gross square foot was reduced by 33 percent from the baseline, following an 8-year trend of decreasing the energy consumption rate. Total utility cost per square foot, which has also shown a general decline over this period, dropped to $1.78 per square foot, 10 percent lower than the baseline. Energy efficiency efforts coupled with historically low natural gas prices, a relatively mild winter with no periods of natural gas curtailment, and the strategic purchasing of natural gas all contributed to the reduction in utility costs this fiscal year.
