STRATEGIC ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN

STRATEGIC ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN

The general goals of the Energy Management Strategic Plan are to:•Implement strategies to comply with legislative mandates for energy and water use reduction.

•Meet and exceed the intent of the UNC System Sustainability Plan.

•Support and complement the campus Sustainability Strategic Plan and the campus Climate Action Plan.

•Establish organizational and financial structures that will enable the Plan.

•Evaluate required investments in capital and operating funds to realize the mandated reductions and campus commitments.

•Identify enabling legislation or budgetary changes necessary to produce results.

•Modify the culture at NC State to exemplify leadership in campus energy efficiency.

Energy Data Management encompasses the entire effort involved in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) abatement and reducing the energy necessary to perform the daily operations of the University. Before changes can be made to any system, it is necessary to know what needs to be changed. Energy Data Management aligns with the University goals of efficient management of resources while mitigating the related costs. This focus area is divided into eight key sections which direct endeavors around the Energy Data Framework.

The energy types used by NC State University to heat and cool buildings is electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil. Electricity and natural gas are the major energy sources. The primary end-use for the above energy sources is to generate and distribute the following utilities to the campus buildings: steam, chilled water, domestic hot water, building hot water.

Energy Use in Facilities applies to the efforts of Energy Management and it’s partners, to reduce campus energy consumption by targeting campus buildings and the way that they are designed, built and occupied. Session Law 2007-546 sets a standard for all State-owned facilities, and the measures below are intended to help NC State meet or exceed these standards. This focus area is divided into twelve key sections that support our mission to reduce campus energy consumption and decrease our carbon footprint.

ENERGY USE IN FACILITIES

North Carolina Executive Order 156 encourages all state agencies to maximize their efforts to develop and implement environmentally sustainable policies and practices to minimize their impact on the environment and reduce their overall utility operating cost. The University’s commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions has set forth various initiatives to maximize and to jumpstart programs that are geared to the reduction of the campus’ energy consumption.

Practices

EQUIPMENT EFFICIENCY

Saving energy and reducing the University carbon pawprint will require the buy-in of the entire campus community. By and large, building occupants drive building energy consumption. By establishing and energy policy and implementing effective outreach programs, NC State will achieve it’s aggressive energy reduction and greenhouse gas emission goals.
