1 Strategic Planning-Energy Conservation, Renewable Energy, and Sustainability, At Rutgers Operations & Services Utilities Operations 6 Berrue Circle Piscataway, NJ 08854

2 Strategic Planning for Energy Conservation Create Sustainable Energy Model 1) Renewable Energy (Solar, Cogeneration, Geo Thermal) 2) Conservation (Lighting Retro Fits, Annual NB/Piscataway Energy Conservation Competition, HTHW Line Replacement) 3) Water Conservation (Bottle Fill Station Installations, Low Flow Toilet installations)

6 ENERGY Conservation and Alternative Energy Projects HTHW Line replacement Motors and Transformers Lighting Projects Solar Projects Geothermal project

7 High Temperature Hot Water Line Replacement Replacing 40 year old deteriorated high temperature hot water pipes with new insulated pipes university wide The size of the piping varies from 4 to 14 The estimated savings is 2,520,000 therm per year plus a reduction in emissions of CO2 by 2,285 tons per year

8 High Temperature Hot Water Line Replacement Energy Conservation

9 Lighting Project Replacing inefficient lighting with high efficiency lighting and controls at Camden, Newark, and New Brunswick/Piscataway campuses. This will take place as funding becomes available. We will reduce our energy consumption by 42,500,000 KWH and reduce our CO2 by 23,333 tons. First Phase of the Project was implemented through the Direct Install Program from PSE&G.

10 PSEG Direct Install Program 80% of the cost from PSEG 20% of the cost from Rutgers 31 Buildings Total Project Cost $5,621,31 PSEG Portion $4,088,231 Rutgers Portion $1,533,086 Savings $955,638 ROI Rutgers 1.6 years

11 Lighting RBHS 39,985 fixtures on the RBHS Newark Campus were replaced Annual cost savings of $859,000 Dollars

12 NJ Clean Energy Direct Install Buildings 200KW Demand or less Lighting and Mechanical 21 Buildings NJ Clean energy Portion $249,948 Rutgers Portion $166,632 ROI for Rutgers 2 Years

13 Motors and Transformers Energy Conservation Replaced Standard Efficiency motors and transformers are being replaced with high efficiency motors and transformers throughout the New Brunswick/Piscataway Campus. The estimated savings is 2,465,000 KWh per year. Reduction in emissions of Co2 by 1,359 tons per year.

14 Motors 10 HP and Above 316 replaced Motors and transformers Energy Conservation Transformers 30 KVA to 150 KVA 93 replaced Cost $1,004,591 Savings $320,510 ROI 3.13 years

15 Alternative Energy Cogeneration Plant Energy Conservation ` 13 MW Plant Busch Campus 10 MW Plant RBHS 65% energy used to make electricity 35% is waste heat used to make HTHW Rutgers dispatches the plant?

16 Livingston Solar Farms 7996 silicon based panels on a fixed mounted system panels are arranged in five main sub-arrays that feed into five inverters Power is converted to 480 volts and stepped up to 13.8kV Line voltage is interconnected with the university grid Monitored through a web based monitoring system
