| Talbot Laboratory: LEED Silver |
The Talbot Laboratory Addition was awarded LEED Silver certification on July 10th, 2023. The addition scored high within the Water Efficiency category, scoring 8 out of 10 points. In the Water Reduction sub category, the Laboratory gained a perfect 4 out of 4 points. The construction for the three story addition began in Spring of 2019. The addition will house a Nuclear Materials Lab and a Radiation Measurement Laboratory. These new facilities are shared with the Department of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering as well as the Department of Aerospace Engineering. |
| Indoor Bin Update |
This project will improve the recycling process in buildings around campus by encouraging sustainable actions and improving the layout of waste and recycling bins within these buildings. Facilities & Services collaborated with ISTC to make an “Indoor Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Assessment”. This assessment determined that the type and layout of collection containers in buildings across campus should be standardized. An update would enable them to be co-located and allow for greater infrastructure consistency. |
| Infrastructure Security and Energy Restoration (ISER) |
This program applyies the Department of Energy's technical expertise to help ensure the security, resiliency and survivability of key energy assets and critical energy infrastructure. |
| Building Technologies Office |
The Building Technologies office leads a network of research and industry partners to continually develop innovative, cost-effective energy saving solutions in building design. Some of the relevant programs under the Building Technologies office include |
| Structural and Architectural Engineering and Materials (SAEM) |
SAEM aims to enable sustainable buildings and other structures that can be continuously occupied and/or operated during the structure’s useful life. The SAEM program supports fundamental research for advancing knowledge and innovation in structural and architectural engineering and materials that promotes a holistic approach to analysis and design, construction, operation, maintenance, retrofit, and repair of structures. |
| FY15 RCx |
In FY15, the Retrocommissioning teams completed twelve buildings. |
| 2012 Exterior Doorway LED Lighting |
Exterior lighting was installed at multiple locations in 2012, with more locations planned for the future. LED fixtures to increase illumination around doorways are installed at Talbot Lab, the Computer Applications Building, Roger Adams Lab, and the Vivarium. Entry canopy lighting at the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) and Allen Hall are also upgraded to LED fixtures. |
| ICECF 2008 Lighting Retrofit |
The ICECF 2008 Lighting Retrofit was the first round of the T-12 to T-8 Lighting Retrofit Project. A total of 52,810 T-12 fixtures were replaced with thinner, more energy effiecient T-8 fixtures. This will incur a total Annual KWh Savings of 8,630,641 hours. Thirty-one university buildings were involved in this round of the project. The total Simple Payback is estimated to be 2.13. |
