                                       \J finding out about the benefits of lighting upgrades for their classrooms, students and
                                       their electricity bills. The following public school Partners deserve all A's for their ener-

         Boulder Valley
         School District

   Students of all ages  have played an
active role in Green Lights in the Boulder
Valley School District in Boulder,  CO.
Elementary students helped perform the
lighting surveys  by taking footcandle
measurements and counting lightbulbs in
district buildings. Junior and senior archi-
tectural  engineering students from the
University of Colorado  were hired to
compile all survey information and do
lighting designs.
   The upgrades of all 50 district build-
ings  have  generated  an annual  energy
savings of more than 4,600,000 kWh (a
45 percent reduction), and prevented the
emissions of more than 4,000 tons of
CO2 per year.
   Not only did students participate in
the upgrades, they will learn from them
as well. Beginning this  fall, students in
grades K-12 will learn about energy effi-
ciency, recycling,  hydropower and other
topics.  This will bring Green  Lights
results back into the classroom. Because
the different  district  schools never see
their  electricity  bills,  they feel no
accountability  to turn   off the  lights,
pointed out  Colleen Walker, Project
Engineer for the  district. "By  adding
energy  conservation to  our curriculum
we are bringing upgrades back into class-
                                                                              room and tying it all together," she said.
                                                                              Energy-efficiency themes will not just be

                                                                              energy themes can be part of music, art
                                                                              and theater classes as well. "Energy con-
                                                                              servation is not above children's heads,"
                                                                              observed Walker.

   Arlington  Public  Schools  teaches
more than students and staff about the
benefits of energy efficiency. Through its
Energy Team, Arlington has promoted
energy conservation to the community at
large with articles about the school sys-
tem's activities in The journal newspaper
as well as in PTA and facility newsletters.
The 1995 Green Lights Co-Government
Partner of the Year school system has also
made presentations to community groups
such  as  Arlingtonians  for  a Clean
Environment  and the Association  of
Professional Energy Managers.  In addi-
tion, Arlington  produced  a  series  of
videos  for  Cable TV Arlington on  its
energy conservation efforts.
   Arlington's efforts to educate students
and staff were equally impressive. Among
Arlington's many activities were energy
lessons printed on monthly student lunch
menus, and  supporting  the Arlington

Energy Fair with displays, interactive
energy games, and  samples of student
work.  In  addition,  the school district
sponsored  an incentive program  for
schools to reduce their electricity  usage
and publicized winners at a recognition
ceremony. "Staff and  students of  the
Arlington Public Schools  are working
together to increase energy conservation,
decrease utility costs and provide a clean-
er environment,"  said Jo  Ann  Daly,
Facility Manager for  Arlington Public
Schools. "Through our membership in
the Green Lights program, we have been
able to fulfill all of these goals."
   Arlington  is  now  saving  over
$172,000 per year on energy costs as a
result of its Green Lights upgrades.

            East Maine
       School  District  #63
   When the State of Illinois passed leg-
islation allowing state school districts to
enter into performance contracts  for
energy-efficient  upgrades, East  Maine
School District #63 in Des Plaines, IL
wasted no time in seizing this opportuni-
ty. "The  guaranteed  energy-related im-
provements pay for themselves, improve
the  classroom  environment, and  free
maintenance  funds for  other necessary
projects," said Jim Reynolds, Director of
Operations and Maintenance. "It is a no-
lose program for the school district."
Taylor Elementary School -Arlington, VA

   East Maine entered into a perfor-
mance contract with Green Lights Ally
Honeywell that guarantees annual sav-
ings of $358,000  over a 10-year period.
The district paid for the upgrades with a
long-term lease  purchase  agreement;
Honeywell guarantees that the monthly
savings will exceed the lease payments. If
savings do not meet the guaranteed lev-
els, Honeywell will  write a check to the
school district for the difference. "In this
way the Board of Education is able to pay
for long-term  facilities improvements,
and since the savings  are guaranteed by
Honeywell, the  district cannot  lose,"
explained Reynolds.
   Honeywell upgraded the  school dis-
trict's 450,000 square feet of facility space
and installed new temperature controls
and an energy management system. After
the first six months of the contract, actu-
al savings are well above projected levels.
"The upgrades have already reduced our
utility costs significantly. I'm impressed
that our school board had the foresight

    Santa Cruz Valley Union
      High School District

   Through  ingenuity and  financial
assistance,  Santa  Cruz Valley  Union
High School District in Santa Cruz, AZ,
has not only proven that profitable light-
ing upgrades are possible for rural school
districts but has also become a model for
others. Recently, Santa Cruz experienced
funding cutbacks  and turned to Green
Lights as a way to eliminate unnecessary
spending. An energy audit of the district
identified three areas that would result in
significant savings and meet payback cri-
teria:  a lighting upgrade  with motion-
sensing switches,  the  installation of an
energy  management  system  and the
installation of a plate and frame  heat
exchanger. With little  available funding,
Santa Cruz Valley was  creative in obtain-
ing financing. The district sought and
received  rebates from Arizona  Public
Service Company and a grant  from the
Department of Energy. The  state  also
allowed Santa Cruz to add the amount of
one years' lighting savings to its operating
budget.

                                       I  olleges and universities are finding Green Lights upgrades an excellent way to save
                                       \>money, save energy and improve  lighting quality in campus buildings. Lighting
                                       upgrades are becoming a required course for these Partners.
           University of
       Missouri-Columbia

   By the end of its first year in Green
Lights,  the  University  of Missouri-
Columbia upgraded more than 2.1 million
square feet or more than 35 percent of its
total floor space.  These upgrades  are
expected to save the university more than
$320,000 annually.  To better implement
the program, a Green Lights  Building
Coordinator was identified for each build-
ing to facilitate Green  Lights implemen-
tation.  Completed  upgrades include  the
installation of occupancy sensors and a
direct  lighting  control system  pro-
grammed to minimize energy use  while
allowing variable user schedules.
   As the 1995 Green Lights University
Partner of the Year, Missouri believes it is
important to promote its Green Lights
energy-efficiency strategy to students, fac-
ulty, staff and the public. The university
created an Energy  Extravaganza, a one-
             day energy fair promoting
             energy-efficient  technolo-
             gies with a special emphasis
             in 1994  on Green Lights.
             The  university conducted
             an  extensive  advertising
             campaign   with   Green
             Lights and provided  infor-
             mation   on new  lighting
             technologies   in   campus
             newspapers and newsletters.
           University of
     Minnesota—Twin Cities
   As the first Big Ten  school to join
Green  Lights,  the   University   of
Minnesota's  Twin  Cities  campus  in
Minneapolis/St. Paul has saved  an esti-
mated $1.3 million annually in electricity
costs  as a result of Green  Lights. The
upgrades of 105,000 fluorescent lamps,
and ballasts and 3,500 exit signs have saved
an estimated 25 million kWh annually.
   In June 1995  another energy-efficient
lighting project began with the start of the
incandescent upgrade which will replace
incandescent lamps and fixtures through-
out most of the campus' 200 buildings with
compact fluorescents. The projected ener-
gy savings are estimated to be between four
and six million kWh annually.
   In addition to energy savings,  environ-
mental gains continue to add up as well.
To date, based on the 25 million kWh
saved, the university's investments in ener-
gy-saving products have contributed to an
annual estimated reduction in SO2 emis-
sion by 77 tons and 93 tons of NOX.
   The  Facilities Management energy
conservation program also includes con-
ducting building energy audits to identify
other savings  opportunities.  These audits
are identifying cost-effective energy-saving
investments that can be made to upgrade
heating, cooling, and ventilation system
controls, insulate steam piping, adjust fan

     Massachusetts Institute
           of Technology
   At an institution known for its excel-
lence in science and  engineering, both
Massachusetts  Institute of Technology
students and faculty have  learned  first-
hand how Green Lights can  translate to
large financial savings in just a short peri-
od of time. Bill Wohlfarth, MIT's Green
Lights  Implementation  Director,  has
found that Green Lights is an ideal way
for students to learn about  energy issues.
To get students involved in MIT's efforts,
Wohlfarth employed five student interns
to perform  the initial lighting  survey.
"MIT is very energy conscious as a com-
munity," said Wohlfarth. "We have had
extensive coverage of Green Lights in the
newspapers,  and we  have used students,
where feasible, to assist in the program's
efforts."
   Since joining the program in  1992,
the Cambridge, MA institution has real-
ized annual  savings of  over  $982,000.
MIT has become a leader in the commu-
nity for Green Lights as well. The Partner

               Union
               College

   Union College, a small, private college in
Schenectady, NY, has found a new approach
to energy savings amidst its on-going Green
Lights upgrades. Howard Billings, Energy
Management Coordinator at the College
wanted to upgrade the outdated emergency
lighting in the dormitories.
   In several dormitories, emergency hall-
way lighting was provided by banks of bat-
teries that were 25 to 30 years  old. These
battery banks required  regular mainte-
nance  to  provide
                     emergencies precluded replacement with
                     compact fluorescent lamps.
                       Maintenance-free lead-calcium six-bat-
                     tery systems plus inverters  and new 15-
                     watt, smaller compact fluorescent  lamps
                     provided the answer  to Union College's
                     problems. By using these batteries, Union
                     College realized an 83  percent reduction in
                     battery maintenance costs. The cost of the
                     new system was actually less that the antic-
                     ipated cost of older battery replacement.
                     The new compact fluorescent lamps pro-
                     vide a 10,000-hour life  expectancy com-
                     pared to the 750 hours for incandescents,
                     and they fit into existing fixtures. These
                     upgrades reduced electrical  consumption
                     by over 12,000 kWh  and electricity costs
                     by $2,200 per building annually.

                President Chris Boren
                heard about Wasatch's
                 project, presented  the
                 district's school  board
                 with a detailed pro-
                  posal using the Green
                  Lights approach, and
                  won  the contract.
                  LMS's upgrade pro-
                   posal included sur-
                   veys, lighting design,
                   financial analyses,
                    installation,    re-
                    porting, and coor-
                dination of lamp and
               ballast   disposal.   An
              exemplary  Green  Lights
          Ally, LMS delivered all  of
these services and completed  the  upgrade
within  a year.
   But, for a school district, funding for a
  lighting upgrade is never a given. Bank
One of Arizona provided the financing for
the Wasatch upgrades through a program
set up  specifically for schools. The elec-
tricity  cost savings from  more  efficient
lighting will help repay the bank loan, and
a bond referendum will cover the remain-
ing amount.
   LMS  surveyed the school buildings
and upgraded  a  total  of 292,500 square
feet. Most fixtures were relamped  from
34-watt T12 lamps to 32-watt T8's. Old
standard  magnetic ballasts were  changed
to electronic,  and incandescent fixtures
were  changed  to compact  fluorescents.
High-intensity discharge lamps  replaced
fluorescent lamps at one of the four gym-
nasiums that were upgraded.
    LMS  coordinated  the disposal of all
lamps and ballasts removed from Wasatch
buildings. Lighting  Resources, a Green
Lights Manufacturer Ally, disposed of the
lamps in a hazardous waste landfill. "LMS
helped us meet our goal of removing light-
ing products to make a safer environment
for our students and did it in a cooperative
and timely manner," said Jolley. In  addi-
tion to the safe disposal of lamps and bal-
lasts, the school district is proud of the
environmental  achievements  from  its
lighting upgrades: the reduction of air pol-
lution equivalent to the removal of 69 cars
from U.S. highways or the planting of 142
acres of trees.
   The work  done  by LMS  for the
Wasatch County School District is one of
many examples of Green Lights Allies and
Partners  working together  for financial
benefits and environmental results. EPA's
Green Lights  program offers win-win
opportunities for all of its participants. For

      ENERGY   STAR   BUILDINGS
       Making the CFC  Phaseout Profitable
                 Stage 5: HVAC Plant Improvements

   To introduce Green Lights participants to the ENERGY STAR Buildings program,  the
Update is documenting the success of Showcase Buildings participants in each stage of program
implementation. This article, the seventh and final in the series, describes Stage 5: HVAC Plant
Improvements.

  Stage 5 focuses  on upgrades to heating   likely brought about signifi-
  and cooling plants and  peripheral   cant reductions in cooling
equipment. These final  upgrades  take
advantage of the load reductions achieved
in Stages 1 through 3; reductions that may
allow for the downsizing of heating and
cooling equipment.
                                                                                STAGE 5 UPGRADES
     Cooling Plant Upgrades

   Building owners  are presently facing
the  phaseout  of  chlorofluorocarbon
(CFC) refrigerants on January 1,1996. As
required  by the 1990 Clean  Air Act
Amendments,  the refrigerants  currently

      Stance with these regulations, how-
      bould be viewed as an opportunity

                            still increasing efficiency. At
                            Mobil Research and Development, a
                            Showcase building, three CFC-11 chillers
                            were  replaced with  energy  efficient
                            HCFC-123  chillers. This resulted in an
                            annual energy savings  of 990,000 kWh
                            and an annual cost savings of $52,000.
                            Previous ENERGY STAR upgrades resulted
                            in a cooling load reduction of 212 tons.
                            Therefore, Mobil Research and Develop-
                            ment was able to purchase chillers smaller
                            than previously required.

staff.  The district's hard work earned
them the  1995  Green  Lights  Co-
Government Partner of the Award.
           Connetquot
         School District

  When Connetquot Central  School
District  in Bohemia, NY joined Green
Lights in July of 1994, Keith Anderson,
Director of Plant and Facilities  saw an
opportunity to enhance the educational
environment of the schools by providing
higher  lighting quality while lowering
Connetquot's operating costs.
  In order to lessen the burden on com-
munity taxpayers, Anderson aggressively
             pursued creative financing options. In
             total, Anderson has secured $340,000 in
             grant money, despite its decreasing lack
             of availability. Anderson also funded one
             of Connetquot's projects with $70,000 in
             grant money from the New York State
             Energy Office, and $25,000 from Long
             Island Lighting Company, leaving only a
             $45,000  district outlay.  This project
             yielded  annual  energy  savings of
             $55,000, with less than a  one-year pay-
             back. And to continue to  cut  energy

                     On the Job Training
                          Using student interns
                          for lighting surveys
   reliable  survey  is  the  first  step  in
/ limplementing  profitable  lighting
upgrades. In order to  conduct a survey,
facility  managers  have a  preliminary
choice  to  make: dedicate  staff time  to
training and surveying or hire a profes-
sional surveyor. Because staff may not
have the extra time or expertise  to con-
duct surveys and professional surveyors
may be too expensive, a third option may
offer a  new  solution: student  interns.
Several Green  Lights Partners have suc-
cessfully used  interns  to survey  existing
lighting systems and  analyze potential
Green Lights upgrades.

        Economic Reasons
        for Using Interns:
        State of Arkansas
   Many  non-profit  and  government
organizations  are  faced with  limited
resources to fund and complete  lighting
surveys. The  State  of Arkansas used
interns to  help ease the financial burden
of surveying its  more  than 40 million
square feet. Knowing  that the state oper-
ates with a lean staff under a tight budget,
Chris Benson, Arkansas' Green Lights
Implementation Director, realized that he
could not  use contractors  or  his own
employees to survey  the facilities. With
this   in  mind,  he   contacted  Steve
Menhart, a professor of electronics at  the
University of Arkansas at Little  Rock to
recruit six students to  work as interns.
   Benson  took advantage of Green
Lights to train  the interns about lighting
technologies. Menhart and  his students
attended  a Lighting Upgrade Workshop
to learn about technologies, applications,
and the Green Lights program. Benson
also utilized his Account Manager's ser-
vices to provide a Q&A session, followed
by a surveying lesson. With the guidance
of the  Green Lights Account Manager,
the interns surveyed a building. After lit-
tle training, the  interns were surveying
without a problem.
   "The benefit of using interns is three-
fold," according to Menhart.  "The stu-
dents are learning a trade that will make
them more competitive in the job market,
the state  will be able to implement prof-
itable upgrades,  and the Green  Lights
program  is helping the  environment
breathe easier."

         More Time for
    Implementing Upgrades:
       University of Miami

   Employing  interns  allows a facility
manager  and the engineering  staff more
time to implement upgrades. Some orga-
nizations  are not as large as  Arkansas, but
still  require assistance. Jim Durante,
Green  Lights Implementation Director
for the University of Miami hired Rajnish
Kashyap,  a university student, to help.
Durante, already knowledgeable about
lighting technologies and Green Lights,
provided  Kashyap the necessary training.
   Kashyap surveyed over 900,000 square
feet of the facility in three weeks and used
Report  Kale to report progress to  EPA.
Kashyap  also provides Durante the data,
allowing  Durante more time to concen-
trate on specifying the upgrades, selecting
contractors, and other duties.

            Financing
             Options:
           City of Ada
   If paying interns is a problem, there
may be several possible options at your
organization's disposal. The City of Ada,
OK turned to Oklahoma State University
for help  in performing its  lighting
upgrades. Ada did not want to hire an
engineer to perform the lighting analysis
because it would have required additional
tax dollars. Ada  hired graduate student
interns from Oklahoma State who com-
pleted  surveys of almost the entire city.
Because surveying was part of the gradu-
ate students curriculum, interns were paid
through Oklahoma  State,  requiring  the
City to pay for only a few miscellaneous
expenses.
   Colleges  and  universities  have  the
option of offering credit or federal work
study   positions  to  interns.  Morehead
State  University  in  Kentucky  will be
using a work study student to perform its
surveys. The student will be paid through
federal money allocated for work study
students.
   By spending less  time and money on
surveys, organizations have more time to
spend   on  installing  improvements.
Students receive  real world  experience
that can give them a competitive edge
when looking for a job. And the environ-
ment benefits as well from less CO2, SO2,
NOX emissions. P*

 The ABCs of Classroom Lighting Upgrades
                       Improved lighting quality
                  enhances the educational experience
I  lassroom lighting upgrades offer sig-
Vriificant potential for reducing operat-
ing and  maintenance costs  for  school
administrations. By following the guide-
lines listed below, you can help protect the
environment while enhancing the quality
of the education experience.
                  ount
   The  amount  of light required in a
space is dependent on three factors:  the
age of the people occupying the space, the
type of task being performed and how
critical it is that the task be performed
accurately.  Classrooms  provide several
challenges for creating efficient and effec-
tive lighting because of the many different
tasks  performed   in   these  spaces.
Classroom lighting should meet the high-
est footcandle needs for  reading, writing
and  other  tasks, but it  should  also be
adjustable. A flexible lighting system will
provide  for the needs of students while
saving energy.
           last Upgrades &
            ther Options
   To achieve  lighting  quality and save
electricity at the same time, consider the
following lighting upgrade options.

Lamps and Ballast Upgrade
   Source efficacy  is  the amount of
lumens generated per watts consumed,
and it depends on the  lamp and ballast
working   together  efficiently.  Two
lamp/ballast upgrades include:
T8 Lamp/Ballast System: This system is
extremely efficient producing approximate-
ly 90 lumens per watt when used in a 4-
lamp electronic ballast.

T10 Lamp: The use  of TlO  lamps
instead of standard cool-white T12 lamps
will increase light levels by about 20 per-
cent. When used with T12 electronic bal-
lasts, the efficacies of TlO applications are
comparable to those for T8 applications.

Lens and Louver Upgrade
   Fixture efficiency can be significantly
improved by replacing translucent diffusers
or small-cell louvers with clear acrylic lens-
es or large-cell parabolic louvers. Louvers
provide superior glare control and high
visual comfort compared with lens-diffuser
systems. They also can eliminate the glare
reflected on computer  screens. Both  deep-
cell and small-cell louvers are available for
use with existing fixtures.

Luminaire Replacement
   Instead of upgrading individual  lumi-
naire components, consider the labor sav-
ings and  quality improvements  that may
be achieved with new luminaires that fea-
ture high-efficiency components.

Deep Cell Parabolic Louver Replace
existing luminaires with new luminaires that
contain efficient components such as T8
lamps, electronic ballasts and large cell par-
abolic louvers. The results will be low glare,
high-efficiency, and uniform  distribution.
Deep-cell parabolic louvers are particularly
appropriate in classrooms with computers.
Indirect Luminaires  These luminaires
distribute at least 90 percent of the emit-
ted light upwards to reflect off the ceiling,
providing  uniform,  diffused  lighting.
Because the light sources  are completely
shielded from view, indirect systems pro-
vide   relatively  high  visual  comfort.
Indirect lighting is  ideal for  libraries
because it  provides  even illumination on
vertical surfaces.
             Controls
   Controls offer the greatest energy sav-
ings potential for the classroom. Schools
have a large portion of space that is unoc-
cupied at various times during the day and
can benefit greatly from control systems.
At Catholic University in Washington,
D.C.,  Green  Lights  Implementation
Director Bob Burhenn installed light log-
gers in fixtures around the Catholic cam-
pus to determine the number of hours the
lights were actually used per week.  One
lecture hall's lights logged 72 hours but it
was only occupied  18 hours that week.
The hall was empty for 75 percent of the
lighting  hours. Using occupancy sensors
and scheduling controls can significantly
reduce your lighting  needs, and if  your
space has  many windows, daylight dim-
ming can further reduce your energy  con-
sumption.

upgrade  technologies, contact the Green

COPs from guaranteed savings over the 10
year term of its agreement with the Energy
Service Company (ESCO). "This arrange-
ment allowed EIU to proceed with imple-
mentation of  its energy  conservation
project in an era of limited state capital
budgets," said Gary Reed, EIU's Utilities
Manager. "Other schools should look for
similar opportunities in  their state." The
university is in the process  of upgrading
1.3 million square feet of campus space
including academic  buildings  and  resi-
dence  halls,  with another one million
square feet in the planning stages.
   To further increase its energy savings,
EIU utilizes an energy management  sys-
tem to control  the  heating, ventilation,
and air  conditioning  (HVAC)  system
when buildings are not in use. For exam-
ple, the campus recreation center is closed
from 10  pm  to  7 am so EIU  staff pro-
grammed the EMS  to  stop the HVAC
system at closing and restart it just before
opening to maximize energy savings. EIU
expects to save 2.5 million kWh annually
from  their upgrades or approximately
$150,000. Pi

   o  date,  Green  Lights  has helped
  I Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY,
 save $146,585 in annual energy costs and
 reduced lighting electricity savings by 68
 percent.  "At  Hofstra, we started  by
 upgrading one building, proving that the
 technologies  and  savings  were  real,"
 explained Teresa Greis, Energy Manager
 at Hofstra.  "Once we  knew that Green
 Lights worked, we proceeded with confi-
 dence on the rest of our upgrades." The
 Update recently spoke to Greis about her
 work and Hofstra's Green Lights efforts.
 • What are some of the challenges you have
faced while running a large facility?
   Hofstra University covers 238 acres with
 more than 2.6 million square feet of facili-
 ties.  One of the problems with such a large
 facility is standardizing equipment. Prior to
 upgrading the building lighting system, one
 might find a mix of cool white  and warm
 white T12  lamps  and a mix of magnetic
 and   electronic  ballasts. The upgrade
 enabled  Hofstra to eliminate  some old
 equipment, reduce stocking requirements
 and  standardize equipment.  As a result,
 lighting specifications for all new construc-
 tion  renovations have been written.
 • How many facilities and square feet have
 you upgraded thus far?
   To date, the University has upgraded
 1,480,000 square feet with an annual sav-
 ings  of  5,250,000 kWh. During  1993,
 Hofstra upgraded over 700,000 square feet
 including six  dormitories, the library, a
 classroom building  and the law school
 building. The upgrades in the three build-
 ings resulted in an annual load reduction of
 2,776,000  kWh.  The next  phase of
upgrading 390,000 square feet is expected
to start in the fall. The final 560,000 square
feet is expected to be upgraded next year.
• How important are environmental efforts
to Hofstra's administration?
   Hofstra's campus is a registered Arbor-
etum accredited by the American Associa-
tion  of Botanical  Gardens and Arboreta.
The  administration is very concerned with
environmental issues. A  university-wide
recycling program has been in place for five
years. By joining  Green  Lights, Hofstra
found  an  additional way to enhance its
commitment to protect the environment.
• How important is the  public education
side of your energy management efforts?
   The Hofstra  community is always
informed  of energy projects going on
across the campus. Articles appear in the
monthly publication, as was the case with
the  start  of our  1995 upgrade project.
When the library was upgraded in 1993, a
newsletter described the project and invit-
ed staff to visit the facility and report their
comments back to the physical plant.
• What are you planning for the future?
   Future  projects at  Hofstra include the
completion of all lighting upgrades. After
that, we will examine energy saving tech-
nologies in our HVAC system. Hofstra is
also  investigating the installation of a 2.3
megawatt cogeneration plant.
I How do you see your job evolving in the
next few years?
   I  envision continuing  along the same
path, and that is to investigate energy sav-
ing technologies, obtain funding, manage
the  project,  and  document  savings
achieved through Green Lights. fWi
