A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :
The MSU Energy Manager initiated an innovative practice to begin scheduling classroom space for energy efficiency. Buildings temperatures are based on occupied or unoccupied mode. Occupied mode maintains temperature at 70-75 degrees. Unoccupied mode allows a summer high of 80 degrees and a winter low of 60 degrees, saving energy and money. Through coordination with the University Facilities Analyst and Scheduling Coordinator, summer and evening classes in four academic buildings were relocated, allowing more space to be in unoccupied mode.
A brief description of any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation (if not reported above):
For the summer 2013 trial, there was an average estimate of 15% energy savings. For summer, this equates to over $6,500. If implemented throughout all semesters (summer, fall, and spring), annual savings could average over $59,000.
