Facilities Initiatives–
–
–
–
Conduct after hours light surveys
Reduce steam pressure from 100 to 50 psi
Add Resource Conservation Manager
Look at building operating hours
Areas of Implementation
– Local Utility, Puget Sound Energy (PSE),
Pilot Program to Shed Load (Demand
Control)
– ESCO based systemic upgrades
– Change Operating Temperatures – 68˚-70˚
(winter) / 76˚-78˚ (summer)
Reduced utility costs save
$money$,
jobs,
environment!
