  2. For Discussion • Executive Order No. 484 • President’s Climate Commitment • Greenhouse Gas Inventories • Energy/Climate Strategies & Examples • Resources Contact Information Eric Friedman: eric.friedman@state.ma.us / 617-626-1034 Jenna Ide: jenna.ide@state.ma.us / 617-727-4030 x487 Meg Lusardi: meg.lusardi@state.ma.us / 617-727-4732 x40164

  3. Green Building Standard • Mass. LEED Plus for all new and major renovation projects over 20,000 square feet • Standard includes: • LEED Certification, with the following requirements • 20% better than Mass Energy code • 3rd party commissioning • 50% outdoor water reduction and 20% indoor water reduction over baseline projections • Meet smart growth criteria

  4. Energy Reduction Strategies • Comprehensive energy projects at all facilities over 100,000 square feet • Retro-commissioning at all buildings over 50,000 sf • Energy conservation behaviors • Ban on incandescent bulbs • Install LED exit signs and programmable thermostats • Procure only EnergyStar rated computers, printers, copiers and other office equipment

  5. American College & University President’s Climate Commitment • 448 campuses nationally signed on (as of 12/6/07) • All 29 public campuses in Mass. joined • Commitment requires campuses to: • Establish a GHG inventory • Meet at least 2 short term goals • Develop a climate plan within 2 years • Long-term carbon neutrality http://www.presidentsclimatecommitment.org/

  6. Inventories: LBE vs. Climate Commitment *carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride  

  7. Establishing an Inventory: Recommendations • Continue to submit annual campus fuel consumption data to LBE program • Use emissions from LBE calculations for scope 1 and 2 emissions (fuels and electricity) • Use Clean Air Cool Planet inventory tool to calculate overall emissions in categories 2 & 3 • EOEEA and CACP are working to harmonize emissions factors for use by campuses • Follow LBE Greenhouse Gas Inventory Guidance to be released June 08

  8. Tracking Emissions at Community Colleges

  9. Tracking Emissions at Higher Ed

  10. Tracking Emissions at Community Colleges

  11. Tracking Emissions at Higher Ed

  12. Tracking Emissions at Campuses

  13. Energy/Climate Strategies • Green Buildings • LEED Certification required on all new buildings or major renovation • Energy Conservation • Behavioral changes, student groups • Energy Efficiency • Comprehensive Energy Projects, DCAM • Energy Efficient Products • Energy Star Products, OSD • Co-generation • Best for 24/7 facilities • On-site renewables • MTC grants available- solar, wind, biomass, etc. • Renewable Energy Certificates • Additional Revenue for projects • Alternative Fuels • Bio-diesel heating • Load Reduction • Demand Response • Efficient vehicles and Fleet management • Hybrids and Electric Cars

  14. LEED Gold Building, CCCC Energy/Climate Case Study Green Buildings • Cape Cod Community Coll. First LEED building (Gold) • 35% better than code • 27 kW PV system • daylighting • recycled materials • greywater system for toilets

  15. Energy/Climate Case Study Energy Efficiency • Bridgewater State College • Comprehensive Energy Performance Contract • Lighting, VFDs, new boiler controls, steam lines, water conservation • Project costs - $10.4 million (non capital funds) • Project savings - $956,000 guaranteed annual savings

  16. Energy/Climate Case Study On-Site Renewables-Wind • MMA 660 kW wind turbine generated 1.1 million kWh in last year, eliminating 725 tons of CO2 equal to 35% of campus electricity emissions • Four other facilities in process: DOC Gardner, MWCC, CCCC, Plymouth County Correctional • Initial Studies at UMD, Norfolk County, Templeton DMR, Worcester Sherriff’s • Most state facilities do not have good wind or enough load, use wind viewer or contact Steven Clarke 660 kW Wind Turbine @ Mass Maritime Academy

  17. Energy/Climate Case Study On-site Renewables–Solar • Through federal funds, MTC funds and state funds, 1 MW of solar being installed at 12 state sites, including 5 state and community colleges • Statewide solar PV and thermal roof assessment form available on web • New state program to achieve 250 MW (from current 4 MW) by 2017 in development Springfield Tech PV 23 solar powered lights at UMA

  18. Energy/Climate Case Study On-site Renewables-Biomass • MWCC heats entire campus with wood chips • Potential at UMA to add wood chip boiler • STCC considering biomass CHP • UMD considering 300 kW pilot biomass gasification system that would reduce CO2 emissions by 2400 tons, 9% of campus total, and save $400,000 per year in energy costs

  19. Energy/Climate Case Study ISO Programs: Demand Response (DR) DR is an ISO-sponsored program that rewards electricity users who sign up to protect the grid by forestalling the use of peaking plants (often the dirtiest), as well as the construction of new plants Facilities protect the grid by reducing their electrical load at crucial events when the grid is under stress DR-enrolled facilities earn money based on the kW they shed, paid monthly and for each event State has over 20 facilities in the program (thru contract with an energy aggregator) and more are being added State has earned over $405k since 2006; UMASS has earned over $50k.  DOC earned $300,000 in one year! Contact Jim Freeley at 617-727-4030x239 for Demand Response Forward Capacity Market pays $ for efficiency and new energy supply into DCAM trust which is transferred to Agency-contact John Crisley at 617-727-4030 x561

  20. Energy/Climate Case Study UMass Lowell and Salem State College are purchasing 7,500 MWh of Renewable Energy Certificates for 3 years Renewable Energy Certificates • UML Purchase of 4 million kWh of RECs will offset 1,400 tons of CO2 or 5% of campus total at a cost of $9,000 per year • Agency REC Guidance will ensure that: • RECs are purchased only after efficiency, renewables, and other measures have been pursued • RECs meet minimum certification standards (e.g. “green-e certified”) • RECs are only purchased in the northeast & mid-Atlantic to ensure that Massachusetts gets full air and climate benefits

  21. Energy/Climate Case Study Energy Efficient Products Executive Order 484 prohibits the purchase of incandescent light bulbs unless necessary for a unique and specific purpose. • The Massachusetts Department of Revenue is installing computer management software, resulting in savings of over $248,000 over 5 years, with a payback of 13 months, a ROI of 360%, and a reduction of 288 tons of CO2. For every 1,000 75 watt bulbs on for 6 hrs/day switched to CFLs, over 5 years you will save 377,000 kWh, $66,550 and 157 tons of CO2, with a payback of 2.3 months

  22. Energy/Climate Case Study Alternative Fuels • B5 biodiesel to be used in all diesel vehicles as of July 1, 2007 • UMass Amherst used 265,000 gallons of B20 in diesel vehicles over last 6 years • B3 Bioheat to be used in place of #2 oil in large boilers and emergency generators, starting winter of 2007-08 in zones 2 & 3 • Bioheat pilot project at 4 agencies (including UMass Amherst) showed no detrimental effects, and cleaner fuels resulted in cleaner equipment

  23. Energy/Climate Case Study Vehicles and Fleet Management • Pursuing hybrids & smaller vehicles for appropriate uses • Alternative fuels where they make sense • Improve maintenance practices • Provide access and incentives for mass transit • Promote car pooling and on-line meetings GEM Think vehicle at MWCC Electric truck at CCCC
