1 ENERGY SUCCESS AT THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE

2 The Evergreen State College Mission To sustain a vibrant academic community and to offer students an education that will help them excel in their intellectual, creative, professional and community service goals.

3 Strategic Planning Goals Education Supporting Financial

4 Guiding Principles and Policies Facilities Services - Evergreen: A Place for Sustainability The college s physical resources will imaginatively enhance the learning and working environment Critical Mandates Carbon Neutral by 2020 Conserve Replace Offset Zero Waste by 2020 Evergreen s Organic Farm

5 Areas of Implementation Budget Implications- Utility budget is approximately 35% of Operating Facilities Initiatives- Conducted after hours light surveys Reduced steam pressure from 100 to 50 psi Added Resource Conservation Manager Looked at Building Operating Hours Participated in PSE Program to Shed Load ESCO based systemic upgrades Change Operating Temperatures (winter) / (summer) Reduce utility costs save $money$, jobs, and environment!

6 How did We get Here 1. Introduced to ESPC process by WSU Plant Operations Support 2. Flexibility in contract guaranteed max price 3. Contacted GA 4. Interviewed 3 ESCO 5. Developed Contract with GA

7 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 1 Selected Chevron Energy Services Contractor s home office was not responsive to contract criteria Established Evergreen s Parameters for a successful Project Ground Water Source System did not meet college s payback criteria Developed Contract with Chevron Accomplished Preliminary Energy Audit Selected Areas for Detailed Analysis Large scale ground water source heat pump system Terminated contract

8 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 1.1 Contacted GA again in 2007 to select an ESCO Selected McKinstry Essention Established College s Parameters for successful Project Accomplished Energy Audit Selected Areas for Detailed Analysis Developed the Energy Services Proposal

9 Phase 1 Improvement Measures 9KW Solar Photovoltaic Array Steam Trap Repair & Replacement Pool Cover & Heat Recovery Lab I Building Heat Recovery

10 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 1.1 Phase I: Total Cost $895,000 $75,000 $25,000 $425,000 $370,000 TESC Capital PSE Grant OFM Grant Clean Energy Grant

11 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 1.1 Cost & Energy Savings Guaranteed Annual Energy Savings Estimated Annual Reduction Measurement and Verification completed in 2010 $72, metric tons of CO2 $97, metric tons of CO2 4% of Evergreen s 2005 baseline $72,786 guaranteed 709 metric tons of CO2 guaranteed

12 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 1.1 Overall year to year performance was a result of multiple factors ESP Phase 1 Conservative operational practices Warmer winter

13 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 1.1 Project Execution Timely execution of project initiated in late 2007 completed in May 2009 Coordination of contractor and in-house work Installation of heat recovery system in winter Providing necessary documentation to PSE for grant/rebate Selecting equipment for automated reporting of PV array output Developing interface for PV array reporting Training on pool cover and heat recovery unit Contract closeout

14 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 2 Accomplished Energy Audit Selected Areas for Detailed Analysis Developed the Energy Services Proposal

15 Phase 2 Improvement Measures Gym and Pavilion Lighting Upgrade Swimming Pool Lighting Upgrade Library EMS Control System Upgrade and Optimization Lab II Building Heat Recovery

16 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 2 Phase II: Total Cost $970,419 $415,742 $300,000 $254,677 TESC Capital PSE Grant DOC Grant

17 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 2 Cost & Energy Savings Guaranteed Annual Energy Savings Estimated Annual Reduction $80, metric tons of CO2

18 ENERGY SUCCESS Greenhouse Gas Emissions Baseline (FY ): 19,395 MTCDE Phase 1 reductions: 964 MTCDE = 5% of baseline Phase 2 reductions (est): 951 MTCDE = 5% of baseline

19 ENERGY SUCCESS Thoughts Look at Different Possibilities for Energy Savings Develop Partnership with utility, GA, and ESCO Keep your community informed Make use of all resources - yours and others Ensure staff is involved during process Success is implementing within budget and reducing energy use Success included the ESPC, RCM, operational changes & support at all levels Look to the future for possible offsets for carbon

20 Energy Savings Proposal Phase 2 Project Execution Timely completion of project ESP completed 2/10, GA contract 7/10, work started 9/10 PSE recommissioning rebate process required additional time to implement Providing necessary documentation to PSE for grant/rebate Department of Commerce grant funding Pool light upgrade improved safety Customer satisfaction was very high with the light upgrade in gym & pool Project is under budget The heat recovery system was installed by same subcontractor
