A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The 2005 baseline year was adopted to remain constant with previous STARS reports
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
Multiple buildings on campus have "occupied" temperature set-points and "unoccupied" temperature set-points. The building's automation systems alter the temperatures within the building prior to the start of the workday as well as at the conclusion of the work day. Ability for occupant to increase or decrease the temperature in their area is limited by the building management system.
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
LED Lighting in the parking garages, LEED buildings, and newly renovated spaces (i.e. student lounge, medical school 4th floor).
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
Occuapancy sensors are present in the ACC, LRB and Sherman Center buildings. Additionally, most laboratory spaces in the LRB and the Sherman Center have a Aircuity system which allows for air changes in the labs to be reduced as the system will automatically increase the ventilation if contaminates are detected in the air.
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
Onsite generation is a combined heat and power plant provides 100% of the steam and chilled water needs to the campus and about 90% of the electricity needs.
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
Currently the Sherman Center in undergoing a retro-commissioning process. Additionally, UMMS is utilizing IDS, a fault diagnostic software, to identify faults in the HVAC with could impact energy consumption. The ACC building is currently undergoing the this process.
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
All buildings are equipped with a building management system (either Siemens or Automatic Logic). Additionally, electricity consumption is managed through either Eaton PowerExpert or GE Cimplicity. The Power Plant utilizes SEGA to monitor and meters building level energy consumption.
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
Through the State's Accelerated Energy Program (AEP) energy efficiency measures were proposed to UMMS. The comprehensive energy audit was completed in the June 2015 and identifies over 90 energy conservation measures with potential savings of approximately 72,000,000 kWh and 287,000 MMBtu of fossil fuels. UMass Medical School is currently in the process of prioritizing projects, conducting additional studies, and determining appropriate funding sources.
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
Vending machines on campus are equipped with Vending Miser.
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
