Applicability Topics:
Lighting•Indoor Lighting replacement •Outdoor Lighting replacement •Replace T-12s with T-8s & electric ballasts or LEDs•Install movement/occupancy sensors
Efficiency Is Renewable
Efficiency is NOT freezing in the dark!
•Reduces size and cost of supply
•Comfortable
•Convenient
•Affordable
•Equitable
Applicability Topics:
HVAC•Insulate walls, attics, floors•Plug leaks and seal ducts•Conduct periodic maintenance and “tune-ups”•Install Tankless, “demand” water heaters•Variable Air Valve (VAV) & Multi-Zone heating & cooling systems•Upgrade heating, ventilation, air conditioning equipment •Replace un-insulated windows•Conduct life-cycle assessments of feasibility of CHP•Reduce heat islands from parking lots
Plug In Appliances (incl. Motors & Pumps) •Replace older, inefficient refrigerators & freezers•Investigate incentive programs for replacing inefficient TVs•Investigate life-cycle benefits of replacing industrial pumps, drives, and motors in

Topics (continued)
Energy & Transportation•Low-rolling-resistance tires
•Remote viewing
•Long-distance learning
•Electronic audio-video Conferencing
•Solar
•wind
•Geothermal
•Biomass
•Bio-fuels
Limited funds
Do maintenance items first
Simple things that can be done without cost factor and with inmate labor
Prioritize items that won’t cost a lot of money
Third party financing not using institution’s moneyCapital and/or state backed debt and/or escrow
Leverage welfare fund/inmate funds?
Set policy so procurement is based on life cycle costs.
Funding Considerations
The Likely Future
• Utility cost projections are typically underestimated
• Impact of national/international energy crises
• Current information from physical plants
• General state of the economy and institutional budgets
XZY Institutional Ctr
• If Congress or the EPA require carbon controls an additional 5% increase in costs is conservative.
• $1,125,000 Utilities cost per year
• 10% increase per year, 2010 – 2030
• $7,568,437 Utilities cost in 2030
• = 673% increase
• = $6,443,437 increase in annual cost

Use of less-toxic cleaners
DOCs of Washington, Wyoming, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi,
Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Maine,
Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire:
and vegetable-based inks
*Most federal and state institutions have controlled toxics, caustics, and flammable
materials. Remaining issues include language, pictures and education.
Water Examples
Use of water-efficient cleaners
Throughout Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia DOC:
*Most federal and state institutions have controlled toxics, caustics, and
flammable materials. Remaining issues include language, pictures and
education.
Energy Example Indianapolis: Indiana Department of Corrections
Installed water boilers that run on waste wood chips to help minimize costs and environmental impact
Biomass: the latest green energy method to sweep into Indiana
Biomass use planned for four state prisons
Pendleton Correctional Facility: first biomass boiler in Indiana
“Go green AND
save money”
Fueling a Path to Sustainability
While remnants of an old service station have been reincarnated as a depot to
accommodate drop off trailers you won’t find any gas
pumps out front.
Illinois Correctional Industries recycles waste vegetable oil and uses it as a feedstock to produce biodiesel which is
then used to fuel the vehicles and equipment used in the
recycling program.
Offenders working for ICI programs at Menard gain valuable
vocational skills which will give them the opportunity to find
employment in the fast emerging “Green Collar” Economy.

Well Development
The WCCF Geothermal production well extracts 208°F
water from a depth of 157 to 600ft and re-injects at Re-
injection well site 110°F water at a depth of 210ft into the
exact same aquifer….a completely closed system
The LCSD#7 Geothermal heating well extracts water
from 900 feet at 180 degrees Fahrenheit and re-injects
at 130 degrees at 700 feet in depth
Completely a closed loop system
Insulated Infrastructure
Heat Exchangers
• Transfer heat from
geothermal heated water to
treated water circulating
throughout the building
• Heat Exchangers made of
either Titanium or Stainless
Steel
• Minimal maintenance
• Mimics an automobile
radiator
• Thickness of plate pack
varies based upon size of
building and heating load

Energy Cost Comparisons
*Heating Costs Comparison Chart
Heat Source $/gal BTU/gal $/kWh BTU/kWh$/million BTU
Propane $2.84 84,950 $33.43
Heating Oil $3.58 128,450 $27.87
Electricity $0.09 3,414 $26.36
Geo w/ loan $14.22
Geo w/o loan $5.00* Updated 7/14
Cost
Geothermal Cost Per Square Foot
3.6 cents per month/sq ft.
Equivalent cost for a family of six living in
a 2000 square foot home would be $72
per month for all heating and hot water.
Comparison Cost for WCCF
Proof by Heating Water Loop Failure
Geothermal vs. Propane Costs
Average savings of $19,000/month by
using geothermal heating vs. propane.
This equates to a total savings of
$228,000/year in heating costs alone!
Capacity for LCSD#7 Geothermal
Heating System
Capable of delivering up to 5 million
BTU’s of heat per hour to LCSD#7
Heats all school buildings except for
district facilities (163,795 square feet)
Engineered to meet 95-98% of all heating
needs based upon a 72 year analysis of
historical ambient temperatures
Environment
• LCSD#7 burned 42-45,000 gallons of
diesel per year to heat all buildings
• At current diesel prices, how much
would this cost per year?
• Geothermal break even point =
$2.16/gallon
• Reduction of 800 tons of carbon emitted
into the atmosphere
Additional Capacity
• Potential for power generation during the
warm season to offset loan costs
Potential to heat the industrial park after
school district and hospital has used the
heat
Potential positive economic development
impact
Awards
WCCF was recognized with the 2008 SEED Award
The New Prison Construction Team was honored with the 2009 DOC Sustainability Award.
LCSD#7 Geo Project received an
American Council of Engineering
Companies (ACEC) Oregon Award
