Stafford County Public Schools Energy Management Program: Achieving 100% Energy Savings
The Stafford County Public Schools Energy Management Program highlights significant energy reduction efforts from 2005 to 2011. Through a series of energy performance contracts and conservation measures, the program successfully reduced utility costs and environmental impact. The initiative achieved substantial energy savings, decreasing energy consumption while implementing efficient systems such as occupancy sensors and water conservation measures. Future plans include continuous energy management and the execution of innovative renewable energy projects, ensuring ongoing commitment to sustainability and cost efficiency.

Overview • 2011 Energy Reduction Efforts • Energy Performance Contract Update • New & Future Energy Reductions Efforts You can achieve 100% Energy Saving WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE LIGHTS
Energy Reduction Efforts 6th Consecutive Year – School Division Reduced Utility Costs… While the average cost of electricity to SCPS rebounded 11% from $.079 to an average cost of $.088 per KWH for all usage
Energy Reduction Efforts • How Did We Do It? -Energy Performance Contracts -Temperature Control Reductions -Retro Commissioning
Energy Reduction Efforts • Dollars Saved Compared 2005 to 2011 • 2005 248,639,864 = 72,872,176 KWH x $.088 = $6,412,751 • 2006 231,703,193 = 67,908,321 KWH x $.088 = $5,975,932 • 2007 207,403,347 = 60,786,444 KWH x $.088 = $5,349,207 • 2008 196,067,563 = 57,464,115 KWH x $.088 = $5,056,842 • 2009 172,592,046 = 50,583,835 KWH x $.088 = $4,451,377 • 2010 185,097,785 = 54,249,057 KWH x $.088 = $4,773,917 • 2011 158,002,092 = 46,307,764 KWH x $.088 = $4,075,038 • WITH NEW SCHOOLS • 2007 246,594,352 = 72,272,670 KWH x $.088 = $6,359,994 • 2008 235,724,780 = 69,086,981 KWH x $.088 = $6,079,654 • 2009 217,896,755 = 63,861,885 KWH x $.088 = $5,619,845 • 2010223,409,383= 65,477,544 KWHx $.088 = $5,762,023 • 2011 196,071,320 = 57,465,216 KWH x $.088 = $5,056,939 • From Dominion • $3,288,210 / 37,443,980 = $.088 - KWH
Energy Reduction Efforts • Environmental Impact 125,165 TONS of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) NOT EMITTED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. • THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
Energy Performance Contract • History • Opportunity to reduce energy consumption by modernization of facility systems through Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) Lighting Occupancy Sensors Motors & Fan Drives Water Conservation • Utilized State Contract to evaluate and select an energy performance contractor • Contracts funded through annual energy savings
Energy Performance Contract • History • Selected NORESCO for Phase I - 2006 • 18 Schools • 7 Energy Conservation Measures • Completed April 2007 • Selected NORESCO for Phase II - January 2010 • 8 Schools • 4 Energy Conservation Measures • Completed May 2012 • QSCB Bond Funded
Energy Performance Contract • Phase II – Update • June 2010 NORESCO initiated Detailed Energy Audit • Surveyed 8 schools: • Hampton Oaks ES • Park Ridge ES • Winding Creek ES • Drew MS • A.G. Wright MS • Brook Point HS • Mountain View HS • Professional Development Center
Energy Performance Contract • Phase II – Update • Selected 4 energy conservation measures (ECM’s) • ECM #1 - efficient lighting • ECM #2 - occupancy sensors in classrooms, (hallways, offices, gyms) • ECM #3 - water conservation (low flush) • ECM #4 - variable fan drives & efficient motors for HVAC equipment • Estimated Annual Energy Cost Savings = $199,500.00 per year guaranteed
Energy Performance Contract • Phase II – Update • Schedule: • Audit Completion November 24, 2010 • Approval Completed January 14, 2011 • Start Work June 9, 2011 • Completed Work May 30, 2012
New & Future Energy Reduction Efforts • Continue to Implement Energy Management Plan • Road Map to Comprehensive Energy Management
New & Future Energy Reduction Efforts • Retro-Commissioning Efforts • Retro-Commission at least one school per year • DMS and PRES in FY12 Widewater ES in FY 13 • Continue Holiday, Spring & Summer Temperature Control Measures • Continue with fine tuning of our Temperature controls and upgrading them
New & Future Energy Reduction Efforts • Work with Planning and Construction on the new High School and Renovations. • Plan Energy Performance Contract (Phase III) Identified in FY13-17 CIP • Execute a Wind Generation Grant (RTMS) that will fund the Construction of a Small Wind Generator
