LACCD BUILDING PROGRAM BuildLACCD - Sustainability ENERGY STRATEGY Reducing Energy Demand Renewable Energy Systems Energy Storage Knowledge Transfer / Green Jobs Long Term / Budget Issues CORE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES Central Plants Demand Management Thermal Energy Storage Peak Management Solar Photovoltaic Arrays Solar Thermal Systems Micro-Turbine Generators Centralized Monitoring LA Valley College Solar Thermal Water Heating Installation LA Southwest College Thermal Storage Facility (Ice Farm)
LACCD BUILDING PROGRAM BuildLACCD Sustainability: CENTRAL PLANTS Campus with No Central Plant Primary Function: produce hot and cold water that is used to air condition and heat buildings Each Building has its own air-conditioning and heating system CENTRAL PLANT Reduces equipment cost Lowers cost to maintain & operate Introduces higher efficiency equipment that lowers utility bills Makes it easier to add new technology over time
LACCD BUILDING PROGRAM BuildLACCD Sustainability: SOLAR THERMAL WATER HEATING Generates hot water using the sun that is stored in tanks at the Central Plant LA Valley College Solar Thermal Water Heating Installation Distributes hot water to buildings for Central Plant Cool Buildings absorption chiller Sinks, showers, Washing machines Heat swimming pools Heating Buildings
LACCD BUILDING PROGRAM BuildLACCD Sustainability: ICE FARM - THERMAL STORAGE LACCD EXAMPLE: LA Southwest College Cool storage system comprised of: 72 Ice Storage tanks Two Chillers Supply Ice-Cooled Water During Peak Hours Ice Storage Tanks Produce Ice During Off-Peak Hours Chiller Chiller LA Southwest College Ice Farm Thermal Storage Central Plant Chilled Water Supply to Campus Chilled Water Return From Campus Supplies about 9,900 ton-hours of cooling capacity to the campus over the course of a typical design day. Chillers each have a capacity of 910 tons during the "daytime mode" and 640 tons when in icemaking mode. Operating with an average cooling supply temperature of 23 F and return temperature of 30 F.

LACCD BUILDING PROGRAM BuildLACCD - Sustainability Direct Effects of the LACCD Sustainable Building Program: ENERGY Reduced the Energy Usage per Student as represented by the Energy Usage Intensity Index (EUI). EUI developed from research undertaken by various environmental and energy regulating agencies. EUI correlates energy consumption from all fossil-fuel sources into one convenient index. EUI (kbtu/sf-yr) = (E * 3.41) + (NG * 100) + (FO * 138) + (P * 91) / SF Where: E is the electric use for the building in kwh NG is Natural Gas in therms FO is fuel oil in gallons P is Propane in gallons SF is the gross square footage of the building The EUI presents a 12 month usage index. Energy Usage Intensity Index Community Colleges (avg) 70 ELAC 65.44 LACC 53.95 LAHC 40.84 LAMC 40.47 LAPC 59.95 LASC 48.87 LATTC 60.25 LAVC 47.31 VDK 36.04 WLAC 38.80

SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS LEED Buildings Interactive Experience Touchscreen Green Kiosk 42 Interactive Touch Screen Monitor Located in the Lobby or Entrance of a Building Provides an interactive educational experience about the sustainable strategies employed in the design of the building. The information in the Touchscreen Green Kiosk is organized and delivered in a four tier matrix: GLOBAL includes video documentaries which address sustainability practices on a global scale. DISTRICT video clips of sustainability experts involved in the Los Angeles Community College District s projects. CAMPUS displays how the campus is engaging in environmental practices such as, alternative transportation methods, landscape design, counter heat island effect, light pollution and the use of a central plant for maximizing energy on the campus BUILDING a 3d model is utilized to provide a customized case study on the building, and it s used to portray the building s schematic performance, sustainable features.
