1 ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE IN ENERGY MANAGEMENT Karen Hearn PDP, FMA, MA, LEED AP Executive Director, Facilities

2 ENERGY CONSERVATION Our accomplishments: Electrical consumption reduced by more than 35% from base year of 2000 Energy density 0.85 compared to 1.42 for community colleges and 2.59 for universities Utilities budget same in 2009 as in 2001 despite utility rate increases and 29% increase in space

3 THE CASE STUDY INSTITUTION Examples are based on experience at Kwantlen 1981 Kwantlen began as a Community College 1995 Designated a University College 2008 became a Polytechnic University Multi-campus commuter campus

4 17,000 students 10,000 (FTE) Bachelor degrees, Associate degrees, Diplomas, Certificates & Citations Over 135 programs

5 Cloverdale Campus Opened April 2007 USGBCLEEDGold Gold
