Programs: Reducing Our Carbon “Paw
Print”
Began as WHEE Recycle & WHEE Save• Successful sustainability programs. “The Low Hanging
Fruit”• Energy reduction & awareness.• Waste reduction & awareness.
Sustainability Council• Faculty, staff & students developing sustainability efforts on
campus
http://www.wcu.edu/27314.asp
Programs
• Campus Activities• Eco CATS + more• Focus The Nation 2008 & 2009• Earth Day 2007-2010• Sustainability Day 2010• Recycling drives• Faculty/Staff events

Technical Components Building Automation System:
• Monitor & control mechanical systems:
– Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Hot Water, Electric, Domestic Water, Chilled Water & Steam.
• Yamas/Tridium• Automated Logic
Technical Competencies
Energy Audits – survey of energy systems to enhance building performance
• Including Efficient:
– Lighting – Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning – Office equipment– Building envelope– Water
Strategic Energy Plan
• Mandated by the State (Exec Order 26)• Reduce annual Total Energy Consumption 20% by 2010 & 30% by
2015• Baseline fiscal year 2002-2003
Tracking Measures - Key Performance Indicators (KPI): • Water, electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, propane Components of Performance Plan• Energy Supply Management• Energy Demand Management• Organization Integration
Strategic Energy Plan (SEP)
WCU has reduced usage by 34%• Accelerated better building practices• Active energy management practices• Successful awareness program
For more information please go to www.energy.wcu.edu
Petroleum Displacement Plan • Created in 2005 & mandated by the state.• State agencies shall reduce petroleum usage by 20% by January
1, 2011.• Must utilize conservation, fuel-efficient vehicles, hybrids &
alternative fuels.
2009-10 Summary Completed Goals:• Purchased 6 Electric Vehicles for Facilities Management • Implemented E-10 - Gasohol • Implemented B20 - Biodiesel • Little expansion of fleet
WCU has reduced usage by 19%.
Green Capital Projects
New Health & Human Performance Building (West Campus)
• 138,000 sqft ($46M)• 1st Silver LEED Certified • Recognizing performance in:
-Site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection & IAQ
Performance Contracting • Agreement with Energy Service Company (ESCO).• ESCO identifies energy conservation measures.• ESCO guarantees savings meet or exceed all project costs.• $5.36M – Coulter, Ramsey Center, McKee Hunter Library, Hoey, Stillwell
HVAC Renovation & Retro-Commissioning• HF Robinson Administration Building (“White House”)• $717K ARRA Grant
What does this mean?• Good news or Bad news?• Climate Change is Real!
– Not about saving the Earth. Its about saving the People. • Energy is Expensive & Unpredictable!!!! • National Security• Challenge = Opportunity• Extraordinary Economical & Ecological benefits• Clean (or Green) Industry is BOOMING! 6 in 10 jobs
Are you ready for the NEW GREEN ECONOMY?
