Assistant Vice Chancellor’s message I am very pleased to send you a copy of this year’s annual report of the accomplishments of your Facilities Operations Department at NC State. We are committed to providing a quality environment for our students, faculty, and staff. Our services are designed to meet the needs of a large, diverse, and growing community. I hope that this annual report will not only highlight the accomplishments of the past year but will act as a reference to allow you to get to know our staff and the services they provide. Please share this document within your department. This past year has seen an exciting emphasis on The Year of Energy and the growth of our Sustainability Program. We are expanding our Energy Management Program to achieve not only the reduction of energy use but to meet the commitment that Chancellor Oblinger made to cut our green house gas emissions. Our Sustainability Program will become the “GO TO” resource for information about how the NC State Campus is leading the way to model sustainable business practices in the operation of our campus. These program goals will change the way all of us view our personal responsibility to protect our environment and to contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. Each day, Facilities Operations employees strive to live up to the goals of “Innovation In Action” set by Chancellor Oblinger to establish NC State as a model for sustainability. These important concepts help us to better serve the community as we build a “New Green NC State”. Please contact me at 515-2967 if I can assist you in any way. Your feedback is always welcomed and appreciated. Thank You.

TOTALS
Notes
1) The replacement of the vacuum pumps at CBC saved not only water but also electricity. Replacing the old and failing pumps also significantly increased reliability and reduced overall maintenance costs, in addition to water savings. 2 The Mann Hall Process-cooling loop will not only save water, but also provide future expansion for the departments. 3) Reusing condensate water for cooling tower makeup has the added benefit of saving electricity since the water is cooler than potable water. 4) Water savings included replacing two water-cooled units with air-cooled units and changing the operational process on another unit to reduce water usage.

Office of Energy Management PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS 2007-08
Facilities Operations, through the Office of Energy Management, has been charged with the responsibility to manage the energy resources purchased and consumed by NCSU in the most cost efficient manner and to promote energy conservation and awareness throughout the campus community. The Strategic Energy and Water Plan is the roadmap used to establish our objectives and guide our activities. The Plan’s five focus areas are: Data Management, Supply Management, Energy and Water Use in Facilities, Equipment Efficiency, and Campus Integration.
Data Management • The addition of four “state of the art” Nexus electrical meters is providing realtime monitoring of electrical demand and continuous tracking of energy use. The Nexus metering also supplies advanced tools for evaluation of building loads, and contributing elements tied to building circuitry. The remaining sixteen Nexus meters for this project are expected to be fully online during the second quarter for FY 08-09. • The implementation of Crystal Reports software is streamlining the data gathering process by allowing access to data from the EBS billing software database and other sources. Previously, this data was difficult to obtain. This is resulting in better customer service by enabling quicker response times for unique data requests. • In an effort to better serve internal utility customers, the web portal for the EBS billing software is in operational status. This allows internal customers to proactively track and better understand monthly consumption and billing. This further allows building and budget managers the opportunity to better control costs and forecast expenditures dealing with utilities. At present, there are twenty-two users for the EBS Web Portal.
Supply Management • The cost of effectiveness of rate schedules for electric accounts is being monitored. Eight electrical accounts are switched to a more cost effective rate schedule resulting in avoided expenditures to the University. • Purchase of tariff, transport, and strip natural gas versus fuel oil is evaluated monthly. Purchase of transport natural gas is selected to take advantage of historical trends indicating potential cost avoidance to the University. Additional evaluations for fuel oil result in strategic purchasing of #6 fuel oil yielding significant cost avoidance to the University. • Carmichael Recreation Center, 1911 Building, Scott Hall, and BTEC are connected to the campus chilled water loops thereby eliminating the use of small inefficient building chillers. • Metering needs are evaluated and prioritized: • Fifty-six meters are put in service due to building renovations and new building infrastructure. • Six domestic water meters are replaced, with three of six being metering upgrades.
Energy and Water Use in Facilities • Facilities Operations coordinates building temperature setbacks during the holiday break with estimated $200,000 avoided cost compared to baseline period of December 2004. • Blow down heat recovery exchanger was purchased for the Centennial Utilities Thermal Plant. Installation will be completed in FY 08-09. • Commissioning design to prepare a Request for Quote (RFQ) for Performance Contracting on ten buildings. 24
Office of Energy Management • Recovering rainwater and using it for cooling tower make up at Yarbrough Thermal Plant. • Discontinuation of food trays in all dining halls to reduce the dishwater operations requirements, thus saving water. • Recovering condensate water and using in greenhouse swamp coolers at Fox Laboratories and for cooling tower make up at Monteith Research Center.
Equipment Efficiency • Installation of lighting efficiency upgrades in the labs and offices in the Biological Resource Building and select portions of Williams and Peele Halls. • Completion of BAS upgrades resulting in the following benefits: • Scott Hall office and laboratory areas scheduled in accord with need. • Poe Hall air handlers scheduled. • Partners I, Research I, Research II and Research IV receiving better building temperature control. • David Clark Labs and Mary A. Fox buildings schedules optimized in office & laboratory. • Limiting outside air entering air handlers at Nelson Hall with installation of carbon dioxide sensors. • Improving staging of chillers at Partners II with upgraded chiller controls and rebalancing HVAC air volumes. • Replacing metal halide lamps in Dan Allen Deck with LED style fixtures. Potential demand savings are 84 kW and upgrade is scheduled to complete in FY 08-09. • Upgrading the lighting in a major portion of Bragaw hall dorm with LED style lighting fixtures. Potential demand savings are 20 kW and upgrade is scheduled to complete in FY 08-09. • Replacement of 86 toilets to the 1.6 gallon type. • Upgrading of 38 toilet & urinal flush valves to lower flow versions. • Installation of low flow aerators at sinks in thermal plants, appropriated buildings, housing, and dining facilities.
Campus Integration • The Year of Energy 2008 was declared by Chancellor Oblinger, which allowed for a new focus of resources toward energy and environment. • Labels were placed in strategic entrances and exits to campus buildings promoting “Just Switch It OFF.” As new and renovated buildings came online, new labels were placed. Additionally, mouse pads have been placed in available student computing lab locations. • Daily advertisements were run in the student newspaper, “the Technician.” These advertisements often held tips and tricks to help students conserve water and energy in their normal daily routines. Additionally, large full-color advertisements were placed in special editions of the Technician, such as the Student Orientation Guide and the Fall Football Preview. • The Office of Energy Management facilitated the Conservation Awareness Team, and actively participated in the Campus Environmental Sustainability Team (CEST). This involvement allowed for collaborative work with campus to increase education and organize efforts for campus sustainability. • The Million Dollar Challenge was promoted during new student orientations, Earth Day activities, at residence halls, and during other events such as Energy Awareness Week. • Administration of the NCSU vs. UNC Water Challenge was completed through the Office of Energy Management. Dormitories were selected, tracked, and campus populations were regularly updated with their progress. Combined, the two schools avoided using nearly 11,000,000 gallons of water. 25
Office of Energy Management Facts about Energy and Water Consumption at NCSU in 2007-08 • The data presented below is based on the supply side data, or utilities purchased by North Carolina State University from vendors such as Progress Energy, PSNC Energy, and City of Raleigh. • Total amount spent on utilities in FY 2007-08 was $32.7 million. • Electricity accounted for 59% ($19.3 million) of the total utility costs and provided for 46% of the total energy usage. • Natural gas accounted for 34% ($11.1 million) of the total utility costs and provided for 52% of the total energy usage. • Five percent (5%) of the total spent was on water. The water purchased was used for personal hygiene, make-up water, irrigation and in research laboratories. • Electrical account rate schedule changes have saved $687,471 since FY 2002-03, with over $222,511 in FY 2007-08. • Natural gas rate negotiations have avoided over $610,843 since 2002-03. However, due to rate schedule changes, we had a loss of $43,948 in FY 2007-08. • Energy and water use depends on people, weather, and campus growth. The energy consumption per square foot is beginning to trend down while the cost of utilities per gross square foot is trending up. • NC State University is currently meeting the goal of reducing long-term water consumption by 10% over the baseline year 2001-02.
26
Office of Energy Management
Energy consumption data is measured in BTU’s (British Thermal Units), the accepted standard for energy. We measure how much energy is consumed per gross square foot on campus to track the effectiveness of conservation measures. The increase in energy consumption in FY 2007-08 is due to an increase in building renovations with buildings that are open and unsealed.
Our utility cost is measured by the total of all energy plus water billing divided by the campus gross square footage. Here we can see the trend that utility costs are rising.
Water usage is measured by dividing the total gallons of fresh City of Raleigh water by the campus gross square footage. Here, we can see significant progress in conservation since the department of Energy Management began operations. We are currently exceeding our commitments on water conservation by 44%.

Office of Waste Reduction & Recycling Waste Reduction and Recycling (WRR) Program Highlights 2007-2008 Recycling and Solid Waste Services
• Implemented a new in house roll off service for the campus. New swaploader trucks are able to serve as either a recycling or roll off truck. We have sixteen yard roll off containers that are available to the campus as a billable service. The program was extremely successful in the first few months of operation and we expect continued growth. • Cancelled our contract for the hauling of bulk waste from the Sullivan Site Bulk Collection Area. The containers, as well as the hauling, for construction and demolition, scrap metal and white goods is now completed in house with our staff and equipment. • Began the first phase of the Deskside Recycling Upgrade. Due to changes in recycling streams, we are now able to collect a larger variety of paper in the deskside containers. The program involves the education of all housekeepers and building occupants on campus as well as replacement of the stickers on all deskside recycling bins. • Expanded recycling collections to the inside of the Carmichael Athletic Facility. Full recycling sites are now available throughout both the old section as well as in the new addition to the building. • Created a Mail Room Recycling Program in the residence halls. Bins are now available in all residence halls adjacent to student’s mail boxes for junk mail or any unwanted paper. • 25 types of material streams recycled • $82,118 Saved in avoided landfill fees • $54,925 Total revenue for the sale of recyclable materials • Percent Increase in Recycling since 2006-2007: 8% • Percent Increase in Solid Waste since 2006-2007: 3% • Diverted 40.5% of the waste stream through recycling, composting and reuse.

Office of Waste Reduction & Recycling
• Presentation for Net Impact/MBASA at Solar House • Presented Centennial Campus Lunch & Learn Lecture on Going Green • Served as the planning committee chairs for the first-ever Earth Week at NCSU. The week was expanded to include speakers, tours, movies, art events, dining events, additional brickyard events and a music event. As part of Earth Week 2008 activities, WRR conducted the first electronics recycling drive in collaboration with Centennial Partnership. Additionally, we oversaw the student coordination of three on campus movie events and a local music event. The week culminated in the annual Earth Day event on the brickyard, which showcases various campus groups and departments as well as state agencies and local private businesses. • Developed and published comprehensive Staff/Faculty and Student Recycling brochures for Waste Reduction and Recycling. • Lindsay Batchelor traveled to Pfieffer University where she gave a presentation on sustainability as a part of their “Week of Dialogue” on campus. • Attended various meetings of the Collegiate Recycling Coalition which involve visits to different college campuses in the Carolinas. • Helped plan the 18th Annual Carolina Recycling Association Conference at the North Raleigh Hilton in March. Our office served as the Committee Chair for the Events, Entertainment and Decorations Committee. Ryan Powell also presented on Using Volunteers during one of the conference sessions.
Programs
• Recycled 22.58 tons of beverage containers in the 2007 season and successfully re-branded the Chuck It program under the new “W.E. Recycle” name and logo. The new program image was very well accepted and tonnage was up 27% from the previous year. • In collaboration with University Housing and Energy Management, held the third annual “Pack N Go Sale” at ES King Village. Re-usable materials such as clothes, shoes, room supplies and furniture are sold to the campus community with the proceeds benefiting the sustainability initiatives on campus. • Completed successful Move In and Move Out events in collaboration with University Housing and University Housekeeping. The main focus of Move In is to capture the large volumes of cardboard at the residence halls. Move Out (now renamed “Pack N Go”) focuses on the re-use of materials such as books, food, clothes, room supplies, wood, furniture, etc. WRR also helps University Housing by managing the contract with Waste Industries who provides roll off containers for these special events. • Maintained network of 61 GREEN Coordinators, who in collaboration with Student Government, crafted a proposal for a Sustainability Fee at NC State University. The proposal was approved by a simple majority in a Student Government online poll, but all fee proposals were later frozen by the UNC-system. • Worked extensively on researching the regulations, operational changes, equipment needs, personnel and site modifications necessary to expand the composting program on campus.

Office of Waste Reduction & Recycling
Activities also included meetings with campus professionals, consultants, state regulations officials and private businesses. This is an on-going process that will continue into next fiscal year. • Worked with University Surplus to evaluate electronics recycling program on campus. It is important to ensure that all university electronics are being recycled properly and in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. The process involved meeting with surplus and research regarding possible vendors as well as visiting a number of electronics recycling companies. This is an on-going process that we hope to complete next fiscal year.
Heavy Equipment-
• Completed 240 heavy equipment work orders • Oversaw the grinding of all yard debris at the compost site • Arranged for the moving of the Dabney Desk • Set up for several special events • Conducted 3-4 hands on forklift trainings with the staff • Oversaw the installation of a salt brine system for winter weather • Ordered a new dump truck, backhoe and man lift
Special Achievements of Significance
• Participated in Recyclemania, a nationwide college and university recycling competition. Out of 400 participating schools, we finished 17th in Grand Champion category which measures our campus’ overall solid waste diversion rate. We also finished 27th in the Gorilla category, which measures weight of recyclables per capita on campus.

sustainability 2007-08 facilities annual report What does all this “sustainability” and “green” talk mean? You’ve probably heard the words “sustainability” and “green” and been a bit confused to what these words refer. You’re not alone! These words have many meanings and are often times used in place of each other even though sustainability is a much broader concept than green. Let’s not get caught up in words, let’s talk about what they mean. “Green” usually refers to concepts that are good for the environment – green building with products that are environmentallyfriendly, healthy to occupants and minimize construction waste, green energy or power such as using the sun and wind to generate electricity or even green products that don’t use harmful toxics or chemicals or are recyclable. The concept of “sustainability” means that our environment matters, people matter (our society) and our economy matters. It is the balance of all of these basic needs now and for our future generations that is important. The most common definition of sustainability states this balance: “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” from Our Common Future, a report from the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development. Sometimes you’ll hear people, planet and profit to explain this balance or in business speak you’ll hear this referred to as the triple bottom line or the three-legged stool. As an example, at NC State this means we want to be a campus that manages our natural resources such as water, energy and land, provides means for our students, faculty and staff to have jobs and meet their financial commitments and promotes a healthy, educated and diverse community in which every person has the opportunity to excel.
Sustainable NC State
NC State has made several commitments to growing sustainability at our university.
•
Created the University Sustainability Office In April Tracy Dixon was hired as NC State’s first sustainability coordinator, establishing the University Sustainability Office. This office will be the clearinghouse of campus sustainability information and serve as a centralized resource to students, faculty and staff. www.ncsu.edu/sustainability.
• Kicked off Year of Energy
In 2008, NC State is focusing on energy and the environment. An energy council made up of students, faculty, staff and industry representatives is concentrating on building partnerships and momentum as well as how we can build our academic resources to create scholarships and academic programs focused on these issues. http://energy.ncsu.edu/
To kick off the Year of Energy, NC State unveiled what was at the time, the state’s largest grid-tied photovoltaic solar panel array near the RBC Center.

sustainability Growing the Campus Environmental Sustainability Team Started in 2003, the Campus Environmental Sustainability Team (CEST) is a group of NC State faculty, staff, and students implementing sustainability projects and polices on campus. CEST works alongside the Sustainability Office to identify and set campus priorities and grow sustainable projects. CEST is made up of 9 working groups: • Academics & Research • Buildings • Campus Culture
• Energy • Land Use • Materials Management & Purchasing
• Transportation • Waste Reduction & Recycling • Water
Signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment In recognizing the role model that higher educational institutions have in the community, NC State signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, which addresses global warming due to greenhouse gases. This commitment to manage greenhouse gases means NC State is looking at how our activities are effecting the environment. We are measuring our impact through a “carbon footprint” that tracks carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are mostly from burning fuels which provides electricity, heat and travel. We are studying our carbon footprint and creating a plan for reducing our impact on global warming. http://www.presidentsclimatecommitment.org/ Committed New construction to be leed-silver Our university announced that all new campus buildings will be built to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver standards. These standards, set by the US Green Building Council, are the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. http://www.usgbc.org/ Partnered with Energy STAR NC State is an US Environmental Protection Agency Energy STAR Partner, committing us to protect the environment through continuous improvement of our energy performance. The Energy STAR program helps save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. http://www.energystar.gov/ Became the first LED university NC State was the inaugural participant in the launch of Cree, Inc.’s LED University™ program. LED (lightemitting diode) lighting is more energy efficient than traditional lighting. Along with four other universities, NC State is researching and using LED lighting to save energy, protect the environment, reduce maintenance costs and provide better light quality for visibility and safety. NC State has installed these lights in the chancellor’s office, a dormitory and a parking lot. Cree was started by students in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Host for the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education conference In November 2008, NC State will be a host institution for the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) conference, taking place at the Raleigh Convention Center. During this conference students, faculty and staff from colleges and universities across the U.S. and Canada will discuss how educational institutions can lead the way to a sustainable future. http://www.aashe.org/ Contact: Tracy Dixon, sustainability director • sustainability@ncsu.edu • 919.513.0211 • www.ncsu.edu/sustainability
