The Energy Liaison Program
Ambitious goals reflect the University’s commitment
to sustainability - environmental, social and
fiscal. Although energy conservation is a universal
problem, its solution begins with individuals.
Departments and colleges across campus have
designated Energy Liaisons to promote energy
conservation and share ideas and suggestions.
Energy liaisons:
- Coordinate and share energy saving information
with their respective areas
- Lead efforts to establish college/department
short- and long-term energy conservation goals
- Are conduits through which ideas and suggestions
reach Facilities & Services
Creating Obtainable Goals
- Identify areas for reduction
- Fume Hood usage
- Lighting Usage
- Space Usage
- Computer Policies and Practices
- Equipment Procurement Practices
- Air Conditioning and Ventilation Usage
- Laboratory Equipment Usage
- Establish obtainable short-term and long-term goals
Examples: Short-Term Goals
- Create policy for turning off computer work stations
- Ask faculty and staff to turn off lighting and equipment not in use
- Create awareness across your department/college
- Require purchase of Energy Start rated equipment
- Close fume hoods when not in use
Examples: Long-Term Goals
- Identify areas of high energy usage and develop a plan for reduction
- Consolidation of fume hoods and equipment
- Facilitate systems retrofitting with F&S Retrocommissioning Team
