What Have We Done?
• Department of Central Management Services (CMS)
• Shared Services• Procurement
• Real Estate Management
• Leases
• Information Systems
What Have We Done?
• Department of Central Management Services (CMS)
• Energy Activities• Renewable Electricity Procurement
• Temperature Control Standards for State facilities
• Energy Consumption Benchmarking
Renewable Energy
• CMS aggregated the electricity demand for all state facilities located in the ComEd and Ameren service regions under a single contract
• The contract requires the vendor to secure a portion of the supply from renewable resources
• 2007 – 3%• 2008 – 4%• 2009 – 5%
Renewable Energy
• Volumes• 2007 – 12,750,000 kWh• 2008 – 17,000,000 kWh• 2009 – 21,250,000 kWh
• Impact over the first three years• 121,941,000 lbs of Greenhouse Gases (CO2)• 166,617 lbs of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)• 429,930 lbs of Sulfur Dioxides (SO2)• 2,231,913 milligrams of Mercury (Hg)
Temperature Control Standards
Temperature Control Standards
• Heating Season
• Policy description
• Setpoints
• Occupied Periods – between 68° and 72°F
• Unoccupied Periods - 55°F
Temperature Control Standards
• Heating Season
• Results• FY 2006
• 2,200,000 therms of natural gas not used• ~$2 million cost avoidance• Greenhouse gas emission reductions

Temperature Control Standards
What Do We Do Now?Energy Tracking And Reduction
• Public Act 95-0559 requires Agencies to• Report energy consumption on a quarterly basis• Reduce energy consumption by 10% by 2018• Establish Agency “Green Teams” to develop energy and
environmental impact reduction strategies • CMS to report findings to Governor
• CMS Plan• Develop central database to record and analyze energy
performance data• Provide technical support to Agencies in reaching the
10% reduction goal• CMS to advocate programming of capital upgrades
designed to reduce energy use and resulting emissions
What Can I Do?Energy Tracking
• Document each utility account paid by your agency including meter numbers.
• Send account information to CMS.• Authorize CMS to obtain utility information
directly from providers on your behalf.• Begin reading utility meters and keeping logs
as part of facility operations records.• Notify CMS of significant operational changes
which will impact utility usage.
What Can I Do?Lighting
• Turn off lights in unoccupied offices, employee lounges and conference rooms where possible.
• Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs in personal-use desk lamps.
What Can I Do?Office Equipment
• Buy only Energy Star-compliant office equipment.
• Activate built-in sleep mode settings programmed into office equipment.
• Turn off computers and office equipment at the end of the work day.
What Can I Do?Personal Appliances
• DO NOT USE SPACE HEATERS. They are a safety hazard and are highly energy inefficient.
• Locate shared-use microwaves, refrigerators, and coffee-makers in employee lounges where possible.
• Battery-powered radios and desk fans are great alternatives to their plug-in counterparts.
What Can I Do?Temperature Control
• Wear job-appropriate, loose-fitting clothes in summer.
• Wear job-appropriate, layered clothes in winter.
• Adjust blinds/drapes/curtains to restrict direct sunlight in summer and to deflect drafts in winter.
