1. Energy & Atmosphere LEEDing The Way to a Brighter Future at the IMU

2. Metering towards Energy Improvements Take the Extra Step Install on-site renewable energy sources How much? What? Where? When? Why?

3. Reasonable Reasons to Replace Old Equipment Deferred Maintenance Create a Plan that Replaces Aging Refrigeration Units with Energy Star Products on a Semi-Annual Basis The IMU can expect to save up to $170 annually per refrigerator and $120 per freezer in energy costs alone (an energy savings of up to 35%) Use the Deferred Maintenance Costs & Direct Cost-Savings to fund the Replacement

4. University of Michigan: Energy Saving Initiative End of the program: Estimated $5.7 million annual savings.

5. Although more consistent, the IMU’s kWh usage is not a result of systemic approach to energy management …ROOM FOR SAVINGS!

6. Financing Energy Improvements Phased Retrofits Hybrid High Cost/Low Cost Replacements Direct Utility Savings Deferred Maintenance ($) Performance Contracting Federal & State Grants (e.g. DSIRE, EERE)

7. Being More than “Less Bad” Energy Efficiency & Performance Achieved through Energy Star’s performance rating LEED requires an energy performance rating of 69 >50% of Energy & Atmosphere LEED credits (15 pts) The higher the rating the higher the credits Renewable Energy Recommend Solar Need 3% per point PV covered parking Renewable Energy & High Efficiency Oberlin replaced >50% of it’s coal use 7 yr payback (energy savings) 4 year payback (CO2 reductions)
