USU Energy Usage & Cost Profile
Natural Gas Strategies forUtah State University
Transportation CNG busses provide efficient movement of people Reduces environmental impacts Transportation Master Planning
Cogeneration (CHP) Produce and deliver 55% of USU’s electrical energy Provides ~ 40% of USU’s thermal heating requirements Future combined cycle or chilled water production?
Energy Management Construct efficient buildings HVAC commissioning Install lighting retrofits Utilize alternate energy sources
Transportation Systems
Transportation
Natural Gas Fired BussesEmits virtually no visible particulate matter (PM)CNG has 90% less particulate mass than dieselCNG produces less total greenhouse gas emissions
than dieselAt a $0.25 /gal fuel savings = 3 year payback on CNG
bussesCNG offers emission benefits over diesel/hybrids

Cogeneration (CHP)
Combined heat & power
USU Cogen (commissioned in 2004)
4.5 MW NG fired Solar Turbine produces ~ 55% kWh
Meets ~ 1/3 maximum kW demand
Or, ~ 1/2 of average kW demand
HRSG produces steam heat for much of main campus
$14 M project including centralized chilled water
~ $1 M annual combined savings Vs. conventional

USU Energy Management Strategies
Energy Management
A managed energy program can reduce Energy Utilization by 30% to 35%
USU estimates that 15% has already been achieved from prior energy projects
Energy Utilization is measured and tracked as an index, or ratio of energy use over a measure of building area and time (EUI is normalized for growth)
Energy Utilization Index (EUI) = MBTU (energy) / SQFT (area) / YR (time)
Energy cost savings are treated as “avoided costs” due to non-uniform inflation and volatility in energy markets
Avoided costs savings may not always be realized as a positive cash flow, but will measure the extent that budgets would have increased
Some efficiency measures like lighting upgrades are static. Others require proactive management to be sustainable I.E. Commissioning, Education and Awareness, Building Scheduling
Energy Management Program Components
Continuous Commissioning of HVAC Systems
Metering & Data Analysis
Energy Procurement Management & Oversight
Provides Assistance and Consultation to USU Auxiliaries
Capital Project Design Review
New Facility Commissioning
Campus–wide Education & Awareness
Auditing & Facility Scheduling

Monitoring of Grant & Alternate Funding Environments
Report on Accomplishments
Projected Avoided Cost and Expenses for Ongoing Building Commissioning
Annual Expenses for USU Energy Management (Labor + 43% Benefits)
2 HVAC Technicians $ 115 k (one new HVAC Tech) 1 Energy Engineers $ 72 k (one new Energy Engineer) 1 Energy Auditor / Educator $ 50 k (one new position) 1 Energy Manager $ 93 k (internal and/or one new position) O&M, Material, & Equipment $ 100 k annually
Total Expenses $ 430 k / Yr.
Projected Energy Avoided Cost Savings $ 765 k / Yr. (Estimated at 15% of Average Variable Energy Costs)
Net Avoided Cost Savings = $ 335 k / Yr. after Expenses ($ 500 k / Yr. at Higher Energy Procurement Costs)
