Thomas,
My name is Mark Barcus and I am Dean Henson’s new assistant and he has asked me to work on the SSC weatherization project. I would like to set up a meeting with you and Morgan Johnston and myself to see where we are at. When would be a good time to meet?
Thanks
Mark

A fact sheet and frequently asked questions document were developed by F&S for neighbors of the proposed solar farm on South Farms. In February, the documents will be accompanied by a cover letter and sent to the mayors/leadership of surrounding jurisdictions, as well as residents in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location, to inform them of the proposed development. Once the Request for Proposal (RFP) is complete and the Chancellor’s Capital Review Committee approves the project, the RFP will be published. The installation is tentatively scheduled for this fall.
The firm that was hired last fall to complete the Compost Feasibility Study, Foth, submitted a draft of their study to the University in early January for comments. Immediately following, F&S applied for $250,000 from the F-SCRAP Grant from DCEO, for equipment and site improvements for the Large-Scale Food Waste Composting Facility. In order to apply for the grant, the University was required to commit to funding the remaining portion of the facility’s proposed budget, and an emergency phone meeting was called by the Student Sustainability Committee to assign funding toward this. The committee voted in favor and granted $250,000 toward the project. A draft plan for the compost facility was also developed and distributed to key stakeholders in mid-January for feedback.
The battery recycling program is being expanded to four locations across campus, for both rechargeable batteries and single-use alkaline batteries. Facilities & Services confirmed participation, developed a fact sheet and instructional kit for participating locations, and has committed to funding the program up to $10,000 each fiscal year. The containers for the program will be ordered in February.
The Florida and Orchard Prairie has new leadership through the student group Red Bison and their advisor, John Marlin. Red Bison will be meeting with F&S to set next steps for the site, including going through the process of naming the site and implementing the concept design.

The Krannert Center for Performing Arts is seeking funding from the SSC for solar installations on their building. They will be submitting a full proposal to SSC in March, and they will work with sustainability staff to submit a DCEO grant application under the Program Year 2013 Renewable Energy Production Program.
ECI (Environmental Change Institute) provided Facilities and Services with a list of 25 potential buildings for real-time meter upgrades.
SSC allocated $100,000 to the Illini Union Revolving Loan Pool.

Subject: Re: Weatherization
I met with Dean, and I e-mailed all the groups, I'll send Julie a copy. I'll need to stop by McKenzie's office early this week to get their documents back so they can begin working on their lists. I'll also touch base with the additional buildings tomorrow morning before giving the teams their next assignments.
Dean gave me a new timeline. He would like the recommendation lists by February 1st. He'll give the lists to people that will find the money values for the line items. He estimates that will take roughly 2 weeks. Once that is done, we will meet with all the team leaders and have a conversation about how to best use the $50,000. We were going to set that meeting somewhere in the ball park of February 20th. So right around then is when we'll be done.

Hey Tom,
Were you able to get in touch w the teams about doing more buildings & presentations to Dean? Just an FYI, SECS' temporary weatherization group leader is Julie Fry(<fry6@illinois.edu>).
Best,
Amy
The SSC suggested they could contribute $200k and DCEO could contribute $600k.
The energy dashboard for UIUC was launched Monday, December 5, 2011. The site provides data and information to students and staff about selected University building's energy consumption rate. Real-time energy use for electricity, heating (steam), and cooling (chilled water) are displayed.
These projects were selected for FY12 RLF funding, in this priority order:
__________________________________________________________________
Lighting Retrofits
RLF Requested: $1,500,000
This project is part of a campus-wide effort to upgrade all T12 fluorescent light fixtures to yield improved lighting quality for the users while decreasing operating and maintenance expenses. This project involves energy-saving upgrades to lamps and ballasts of existing fluorescent light fixtures in (53) campus buildings. We are requesting funding in the amount of $1.5 million, although the work is scalable and any funding amount can be successfully applied. The total campus need for lighting retrofit is approximately $3.1 million. Partial grant reimbursement of $800,000 is available.

Occupancy Sensors
RLF Requested: $500,000
This project will install occupancy sensors for control of lighting and HVAC in approximately (30) campus buildings. As a result, energy use will be decreased up to 30% in affected areas. This is an expansion and continuation of projects in the past two years, which have focused on installation of occupancy sensors in student classrooms. We are requesting funding in the amount of $500,000, although the work is scalable and any funding amount can be successfully applied. The total campus need for occupancy sensors is over $6.5 million. Partial grant reimbursement of up to $40,000 is available.

LED Exit Signs
RLF Requested: $250,000
This project will replace existing exit signs with efficient LED fixtures in approximately (14) campus buildings. As a result, energy use will be decreased, life safety systems will operate more reliably, and maintenance needs will decrease dramatically. This is a continuation of projects funded in FY07 and FY08. We are requesting funding in the amount of $250,000, although the work is very scalable and any funding amount can be successfully applied. Partial grant reimbursement of up to $7,000 is available.

College of Business students have been competing to come up with ideas for how to utilize the Energy Dashboard at the Business Instructional Facility. One of the recommendations they have developed is a real-time energy use display.
After a thorough discussion and creation process, the attached Revolving Loan Fund agreement was signed by the appropriate stakeholders.
The CFOAPAL is 1-629514-815000-191200-815WEA.

Per the RLF Agreement, the initial round of projects to be considered for RLF funding was developed internally by F&S staff. The potential project list attached here.
