1 DISTRICT WIDE STRATEGIES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT SCHOOLS 190

2 WHY DESIGN EFFICIENT SCHOOLS? Code Compliance International Building Code International Energy Conservation Code ASHRAE 90.1 Operational Savings Costs to run and maintain schools Stewards of communities tax dollars Maximize the availability of M and O Funds 191

3 Lighting strategies LIGHTING STRATEGIES 192

4 LIGHTING STRATEGIES 98% of classrooms have exterior windows Inboard/outboard switching at classrooms Occupancy sensors in all spaces Natural light in all spaces where possible 193

5 LIGHTING STRATEGIES High Bay Metal Halide replaced with T5 high output fluorescent fixtures Exterior metal halide replaced with induction lighting ½ energy use of metal halide fixture 100,000 hour bulbs = Reduced maintenance costs 194

6 Light bulb replacement LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT 195

7 FLUORESCENT FIXTURES 20 years ago T12 lamps replaced with 32 watt T8 lamps 2 years ago 32 watt T8 replaced with 25 watt T8 lamps Over 200,000 bulbs have been changed out in district Program initial cost of $840,000 Electrical provider rebates of $340,000 Projected savings = $147,514 per year Actual savings = $450,000 in first year 196

8 Spray polyurethane foam insulation SPRAY POLYURETHANE FOAM INSULATION 197

9 EXTERIOR WALL INSULATION Exterior wall insulation, air barrier materials First used in Frisco ISD schools in 2001 Used in all Frisco ISD schools until 2013 Provides a Higher R value of exterior walls than conventional batt insulation Also provides air barrier to wall assembly 198

10 Geothermal hvac GEOTHERMAL HVAC 199

11 GEOTHERMAL HVAC Started in district in 2003 Heat and cool through utilization of natural resources of earth Over 50 district facilities currently utilize this system Over 18,162 wells in district currently Over 860 miles of vertical piping 200

12 GEOTHERMAL HVAC BENEFITS Typical Maintenance costs Compressors WSHP Compressor $850 Chiller Compressor $10,000 Water treatment Geothermal Loop $0.00 Central Plant $6,500 Water pump Geothermal $560 Central Plant $4,000 - $6,000 Equipment lasts longer not on roof 201

17 Geothermal hvac ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS 206

18 SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL CONTROL Operations control and monitoring at district wide level in central location 207

19 SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL CONTROL Operations control and monitoring at district wide level in central location 208

20 SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL CONTROL Operations control and monitoring at district wide level in central location 209

21 Geothermal hvac IRRIGATION CONTROLS MANAGEMENT 210

22 WATER SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT Central programming ability at district wide level Preset flow monitors If flow exceeded system shuts down for maintenance Weather station monitors conditions based on ET Evaporative Transpiration Technology Utilizing city of Frisco Gray water where available 211

23 Geothermal hvac IECC

24 DAYLIGHT HARVESTING Photo sensors detect daylight levels and automatically adjust the output level of electric lighting to create even illumination across the room. Required in defined daylight zones (areas expected to receive high, consistent daylight levels) 213

25 OCCUPANCY SENSORS Specifically required in a series of spaces, including classrooms, conference/meeting rooms, private offices, restrooms, storage rooms, custodial closets, etc. The sensor must turn the lights OFF within 30 minutes of vacancy and provide manual-on or auto-on-to-<50% operation. 214

26 COMMISSIONING Third party commissioning agent is required to test the system to make sure it works as it was designed. 215

27 Geothermal hvac LED LIGHTING 216

28 TREND Price is decreasing by 20% a year. Lighting output is increasing by 35% a year That means the price and performance is doubling about every months!

29 BENEFITS Energy efficient Directional Long life Infinitely dimmable No Mercury, UV or IR Rugged Instant on Works well in cold temperatures 218

30 UNIFORMITY HID Application LED Application 219

31 Geothermal hvac ROOFING SYSTEMS 220

32 ENERGY STAR ROOF First used in Frisco ISD in 2008 All schools since 2008 have this roof assembly Roof assembly provides R-30 roof insulation Roofing membrane reflects instead of absorbing heat 221

33 ENERGY STAR ROOF In combination with Geothermal HVAC Limited penetrations in roofing material Less equipment on roof Less traffic on roof Reflective material allows for less solar impact Longer material life 222

34 Geothermal hvac INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS 223

35 EXTERIOR WALL CONSTRUCTION Started in 2012 Current schools with this construction Independence High School Scott and Newman Elementary Schools Insulation provides forms Pour in place concrete walls R20+ thermal mass 224

36 EXTERIOR WALL CONSTRUCTION No additional weather barrier required Future Tornado Sheltering Technology Required by 2015 International Building Codes Efficient Building Operation 225
