  1. Eastern Illinois University Energy Conservation and Sustainability Program December 11, 2007 Lt. Governor Pat Quinn Sustainable Government Symposium IDNR, Springfield

  2. The EIU Program • Aggressive Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) • Fuel choice flexibility (Coal vs. gas/oil) • Incidental small in-house projects with short paybacks • Electric rate management (Illinois State Universities Consortium: ISU, WIU, SIUC, SIUE and EIU) • Scheduling and optimization using BAS • Maintenance training/ operations program improvements such as the Building Operator Certification program managed by DCEO/MEEA; • Utilities sub-metering • Steam system: Pressure reduction, boiler tuning and combustion monitoring • Campus awareness and partnering • Develop a campus energy policy • EIU Energy and Sustainability Committee

  3. EIU Performance Contracting • Phase I (Gov’s Pilot 1994- CMS COPS$$- Energy Masters) • 1.7M GSF upgraded, $3.4M project • Energy Conservation Measures Installed • 10525 energy efficient lighting upgrades • 697 variable air-volume dampers • 39 variable speed motors • 1,095 additional building automation points • An Energy Management System upgrade • Minor steam and electric metering • Annual savings $533,000 guaranteed for 10 years • This project was paid off in December 2006

  4. EIU Performance Contracting • Phase II (EIU-managed 2001 - COPS $$- Honeywell) • 1.5M GSF upgraded, $10.8M project • Energy Conservation Measures Installed • 18,363 energy efficient lighting upgrades (T-8 and CFL) • 810 water conserving (1.5 gpm)) shower heads • 1,117 low water consumption flush valves and toilets (1.6 gpf) • 1,469 faucet aerators (0.5 gpm) • 118 energy efficient washing machines (Maytag Neptune) • Variable speed pump and fan upgrades • High efficiency electric motor replacements • Pipe insulation • Upgrades/expansion of building automation system (BAS) • Replacement of swimming pool filtration system • Replacement of five (5) large central chillers • Expansion of the campus chilled water loop • Expected annual ECM savings $1,332,000 • Annual savings $1,200,000 guaranteed for 10 years

  5. EIU Performance Contracting Phase II Enhancement (EIU-managed- 2003 COPS$$- Honeywell) • Supplemental ECM’s installed, $2.6M project • Energy Conservation Measures Installed • Replacement of an additional chiller • Lighting upgrades in the Student Union • Upgrading building automation systems • Energy efficient exit lights (LED’s) • Replacement of chilled water coils • Optimizing ventilation rates with CO2 control • Global automation of campus chilled water generation and distribution • Expected annual ECM savings $315,000 • Annual savings $295,000 guaranteed for 10 years

  6. EIU Performance Contracting Savings in Energy Units

  7. Coal reduced by 45%

  8. Consumption reduced over 50%

  9. Red line is resident population Blue line is water used

  10. Waterrates have increased70% • Water costs have decreased26%

  11. The EIU Experience SUMMARY OF BENEFITS TO EIU • Annual savings guaranteed: $2,017,000 • Annual savings expected: $2,303,000 • Net annual to reinvest: $286,000 • $16.7M in infrastructure, systems and performance improvements paid from savings over 10 years • Out of that sum, $13.2M applied to deferred maintenance reductions

  12. The EIU Experience BENEFITS TO THE ENVIRONMENT • CO2 emissions reduced by 64,000 tons per year • SO2 emissions reduced by 600 tons per year • NOx emissions reduced by 240 tons per year • Lower fresh water resource usage • Lower waste water generation • Lower landfill input • Lower overall thermal rejection to ambient

  13. A Remaining EIU Sustainability Opportunity • 10MW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant (new 20-year duration EPC will play a MAJOR part in making this feasible for EIU: RFP is now on the street) • Base-fueled with biomass with possible capability to “flex” to alternative fuels with minor re-tooling • Over $14,000,000 in deferred maintenance cost avoidance from investing in a new CHP • Abundant, sustainable, environmentally soft, local and low-cost long-term energy source • Leverage additional ECMs in this project to support the CHP such as higher voltage metering, science lab ventilation, chilled water upgrades, BAS optimization, lighting, water, etc.

  14. Sustainability Comments • Support LEED concepts in the Capital project process • Vigorously develop 20 year EPC opportunities (new legislation was a great move!!) • Continuously improve maintenance skills through training The best energy saver is a “world class” maintenance program • Incorporate sustainable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biomass Accept the fact thatthese options may feature more complicated infrastructure, high front-end costs and long paybacks • Building use schedule/temperature optimization (BAS) Can easily conflict with expectations of the customers • Engage the campus community Motivate employees and users to conserve- fight apathy! • Aggressively develop all no-cost/low-cost opportunities Many small opportunities usually exist but are ignored
