Campus Fuel Switching

• Oil usage reduced 3 million gallons since 2002 – 36% reduction

• Fuel Switching led to a 65% increase in Natural Gas• Electricity from the grid down by almost 4%, despite

campus growth and expansions

Efficiency at Existing Buildings

• Using $3.3 million in Stimulus $ to leverage $242 million • 25 Energy and 7 Renewable Projects across 22.4 million

sq ft• Projects underway at State Universities, Community

Colleges, Courthouses, Public Hospitals

UMass Dartmouth $50 million energy project that will install natural gas co-generation power plant

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

Real-Time Energy Use Monitoring:Enterprise Energy Management System (EEMS)

• $10 million ARRA funded project to install real-time monitoring of steam, oil, gas, hot/chilled water

• Phase 1 will install 1,100+ meters at 470 buildings over 17 million square feet

• 33 sites, including 10 campuses

• Estimated 5-15% energy reductions annually

• Phase 1 installations completed by June 2011.
