Application 8

Electricity Lig hting Action: Remove 1 lamp from each 4 lamp fixture Savings: About 25% per fixture ($0.04/day) Labor: 5-10 minutes per fixture Impact: Little or no impact in non-instructional areas 9

Electricity Lig ht On 10

Electricity Lig ht Off 11

Electricity Lig hting Action: Use daylighting where possible Savings: 100% savings per fixture ($0.48/day) Labor: None Impact: Little or no impact in non-instructional areas 12

Electricity Lig hting Action: Use LED exit signs Savings: 85% savings per fixture ($0.34/day) Labor: 1-2 hours Impact: Little or no impact in non-instructional areas 13 13

Electricity W esta r SMEs 15

Electricity Lig hting Action: Maintain strict lighting schedule Savings: 100% savings ($0.24/hr/room) Labor: None Impact: No impact on instructional activities 16

Electricity W esta r SMEs 17

Electricity Lig hting Action: Maintain regular maintenance schedule Savings: 10-30% per fixture Labor: 15-30 minutes per fixture Impact: No impact on instructional activities 18

Electricity W esta r SMEs 19

Electricity Lig hting Action: Adjust outside lighting schedule Savings: 100% savings per fixture Labor: One time 10-15 minutes Impact: Possible security issues/flag illumination 20

Electricity Tim ers for Exterior Lig hting 21

Electricity Ap p lia nces Action: Unplug all water fountains during winter months Savings: 100% savings ($35-$45/yr/fixture) Labor: One time 1 minute Impact: Water will not be as cool 22

W a ter Hot W a ter Hea ters 23

W a ter Hot W a ter Hea ters 24

Electricity Ap p lia nces Action: Shut down hot water circulators nights and weekends Savings: 25%-40% electric savings per unit Labor: Daily 1-2 minutes or timers Impact: Water may take time to heat each morning and after school activity potential impact (freezing ???) 25

Electricity Ap p lia nces Action: Unplug audio/visuals on nights and weekends Savings: 100% savings ($0.04/day) Labor: Daily 10-15 seconds Impact: No known impact 26

Electricity Ap p lia nces 27

Electricity Ap p lia nces Action: Remove personal appliances Savings: 100% electric savings per unit ($35 -$45 /year) Labor: No District labor Impact: Morale/convenience issue 28

Na tura l Ga s HVAC Controls 29

Na tura l Ga s/ Electirc HVAC Controls Action: Replace manual controls with EMS remotes where feasible Savings: 10% - 40% per unit Labor: 2-4 hours per unit depending on existing wiring Impact: More stable temperatures, less user control, off-day setback capability, remote sensing and operation Implemented at : DRE – full implementation MLC – full implementation HS - full implementation CMS - auditorium (2 RTUs) 30
