3 Strategic Planning for Energy Conservation Created a Sustainable Model One area of the Sustainable Model is Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy

4 Conservation Projects HTHW Line replacement Motors and Transformers Lighting Project PSEG Direct install Program NJ Clean Energy Direct install Program Solar Project

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

6 High Temperature Hot Water Line Replacement Energy Conservation

7 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 form PSE&G.

8 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 PSEG Direct Install Program Energy Conservation

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

10 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

11 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.

12 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

13 Alternative Energy Cogeneration Plant 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

14 Livingston Solar Farm 7996 silicon based panels on a fixed mounted system. The panels are arranged in five main sub-arrays that feed into five inverters. The power is converted to 480 volts and then is stepped up to 13.8kV. The line voltage is interconnected with the university grid. The solar electric system is monitored through a web based monitoring system.

33 Reduction in Environmental Footprint Rutgers University has provided ten updates documenting its green initiatives. The EPA has analyzed the submitted information and generated an environmental footprint for the organization. Due to the progressive green efforts of the organization, the university has managed to reduce its carbon footprint by 353,446 MTCO2e* and saved an estimated $55 million in operating expenses. *Metric Ton Carbon Dioxide Equivalent
