1 National EPA SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES CONFERENCE March 2009 Presenter: Theresa Townsend, AIA LEED AP, Senior Architect The Department of General Services The Division of the State Architect

2 The Business Case California Green Building Standards California Global Warming Solutions Act Integration into Classroom GRID NEUTRAL: A site that produces at least as much electricity as it consumes in a year

3 Grid Neutral Guidebook Guidebook available on DSA website: Topics: Comprehensive Planning Energy-Efficient Design Energy-Generating Technologies Energy Measurement Maintenance & Operations Innovative Funding

4 Key Steps to Grid Neutral Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: New School: Set energy performance goals. Existing: Measure current electricity use, set performance goals. Implement & maintain appropriate energy efficiency & conservation measures to lower electricity use. Install solar or wind systems to create electricity to meet remaining needs. Maintain energy systems. Monitor electricity consumption & production.

5 GRID NEUTRAL: ELECTRICAL INDEPENDENCE FOR CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS & COMMUNITY COLLEGES Comprehensive Planning

6 Assembling the Team Sponsors: School board members Utility companies Community stakeholders & media Government Agencies Beneficiaries: Students Teachers Administrators Curriculum planners Joint users Implementers School facility planners Consultants and specialists Maintenance and operations Architectural/engineering team Builders Others to include: Custodians School site staff Local Fire Marshal Recycling experts DSA-certified inspector

7 Project Delivery Methods Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is based on collaboration and allows for input during the design phase. Building Information Modeling (BIM) supports IPD through collaboration by combining design, fabrication information, erection instructions, and project management logistics.

8 GRID NEUTRAL: ELECTRICAL INDEPENDENCE FOR CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS & COMMUNITY COLLEGES Energy Measurement

9 Monitoring Energy Use Benchmarking Monthly usage Peak demand Load isolation and profiles Utility bill analysis Utility for training programs Problem identification & correction Conservation program persistence

10 GRID NEUTRAL: ELECTRICAL INDEPENDENCE FOR CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS & COMMUNITY COLLEGES Energy Efficient Design

11 Best Practices The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)

12 Top 5 Efficiency Measures Program & Planning Integrated Design Site Building Orientation & Density Passive Solar Design Geoexchange Building Building Envelop, Day-Lighting, Cool Roofs Furnishings, Fixtures, and Equipment Electrical & Plug Loads, Lighting Retrofits Transformers Systems Automatic Controls & Control System High Efficiency HVAC Commissioning New and Recommissioning Existing Buildings

13 GRID NEUTRAL: ELECTRICAL INDEPENDENCE FOR CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS & COMMUNITY COLLEGES Energy Generating Technology

14 Photovoltaic (PV) Systems Ground-Mounted Roof-Mounted Shade Structures Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Stand-Alone PV Structures

15 Other Renewables Solar thermal domestic hot water, space heating, pool heating Potential to meet 50-75% of water heating needs Evacuated Tubes Flat Plate Collectors

16 Other Renewables Ground source heat pumps Can reduce energy costs by 20 to 60%. Can reduce maintenance costs by 20 to 50%

17 Wind Energy Large Wind Small Wind Combined Wind & Solar

18 Butte College Program Goal: Grid Neutral by Phase 1: one-megawatt field that generates 1.6 million kilowatt hours annually. 25% of the college s total energy

19 GRID NEUTRAL: ELECTRICAL INDEPENDENCE FOR CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS & COMMUNITY COLLEGES Maintenance & Operations

20 M&O Staff are Critical Involve maintenance & operations from the start Pre-Construction Planning Project Design Construction Project Acceptance Post Construction: Ongoing Operations

21 M&O Evaluations Facility Evaluation Site Building Use Major Energy-Using Equipment Energy Evaluation How much and where is energy being used? Retrofitting Opportunities Commissioning and Recommissioning Evaluation Energy Management System Investment Grade Energy Audits

22 M&O: Training & Education Education (the Why ) Create Awareness Foster Agents for Change Emphasize Energy Conservation Measure and Monitor Renewables Develop Campus Guidebook Training (the How ) Operation of Controls, Energy Management System Training Includes Teachers, Students, and Administrators Energy Conservation Signs Signs on How to Operate Controls in Classroom

23 GRID NEUTRAL: ELECTRICAL INDEPENDENCE FOR CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS & COMMUNITY COLLEGES Innovative Funding

24 Funding Options

25 Funding Options

26 Calif. Energy Commission Free Money Bright Schools Program Emerging Renewable Program Borrow-to-Borrow Energy Efficiency Financing Program

27 Self-Funding Options

28 Evaluation Tools Return on investment Life cycle cost analysis

29 Milpitas USD: Solar Project Number of Campuses: 14 Total Proposed Capacity : 3,400 kw Average % of Energy Offset: 73%

30 Los Angeles CCD: Builds Green USGBC LEED certification standards: 90 new buildings Renewable Energy Program: all 9 campuses to be energy independent
