Notice to selected buildings
Associated Project(s):From: "Rients, Seth M" <rients@illinois.edu> Date: November 4, 2013 at 2:13:15 PM Cc: "Johnston, Morgan B" <mbjohnst@illinois.edu>, "Osby, Tracy L" <tosby@illinois.edu>, "Jacobson, Debra F" <djacobso@illinois.edu> Subject: Building Waste Stream Characterization I am pleased to announce that your building has been selected by Facilities and Services to be one of the four buildings in a pilot waste stream characterization study for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This study is designed in support of the campus wide Zero Waste policy which aims to increase the waste diversion rate to 75% by the year 2020. Facilities and Services has partnered with the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC), a unit of the Prairie Research Institute at U of I, to perform this waste stream characterization study. ISTC will begin examining solid waste outflows from your building during the week of November 11th, for a period of one week. During this time all discarded materials from your building will be collected, sorted, weighed, and documented in an effort to create a baseline measurement for waste diversion activities. The first step in this process is to have a kickoff meeting at your facility so we can discuss in person any thoughts, cares, concerns, or questions that you may have. We would like to schedule a meeting for this Thursday, November 7th at 2 pm. This meeting shouldn’t last more than 30 minutes. Attached to this sheet you will find some questions and answers that have been previously asked of ISTC. Thank you for your time, Seth Rients, PSM Project Manager for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign waste characterization study Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (217) – 300 – 4494
FY13 ECIP Award Winners Announced

Explanation of calculations
Associated Project(s):We take total energy usage by building (electricity, Steam, Nat Gas and Chilled Water) convert all of those to one common unit, MMBTU (million British Thermal Units) and after adjusting for the weather differences between years, compare each building's annual usage with the year before. We then convert the change into a percentage and then rank all eligible buildings by percentage saved. The top four in each category win first through fourth. Having won in FY13 does not disqualify you from winning in the future. The goal is to encourage individual contributions to saving energy. Mike Marquissee
IMEC Tracking Presentation
Associated Project(s):Morgan Johnston met with Seth Rients and Luis Rodriguez to hear a presentation about the IMEC waste tracking system. The system could be installed on campus dumpsters, along with corresponding scales on the garbage and recycling trucks. This would be an automated data collection method for tracking the waste stream inputs at a macro level.
Meeting about waste stream audits
Associated Project(s):Seth Rients and Morgan Johnston met to review the scope of the work requested by F&S. Seth noted that it would be great to have scales in trucks and a system for tracking where the waste materials are generated. They also discussed the methodology details. Where could the waste be sorted and weighed for each building? Can each dumpster be collected individually during the week or two of the audit for that location and driven to the sorting site? What level of sorting do we need to meet our plans?
