Marcus Ricci, Stephanie Lage, Brian Deal, and Morgan Johnston met to review the status of this report. Marcus has collected a lot of data about how waste is handled on campus, and he has started to draft a summary.

This file shows each building that has been Retrocomissioned since the program began.  It includes the dates of the RCx effort, the energy reduction and related cost avoidance in utility costs.

As part of the Lighting Retrofit #5, 703 T-12 fixtures in the Art East Annex (Studio 1) were replaced with more energy-efficient T-8 fixtures. This switch will incur an Annual kWh Savings of 112,892 hours. The simple payback for this project is 3.47 years.

As part of the Lighting Retrofit #5, 531 T-12 fixtures in the Admin Tech Info Building were replaced with more energy-efficient T-8 fixtures. This switch will incur an Annual kWh Savings of 96,045 hours. The simple payback for this project is 2.96 years.

Beginning on June 1, 2012 the University quit burning coal as the campus energy needs declined with the beginning of summer. The University had gone without coal for 20 weeks in the summer of 2011. Abbott Power Plant began burning coal again on September 5, 2012 after 14 weeks without burning.

Hi Mark and Morgan,

I met with Thomas today and we discussed the kits and email to be sent to the buildings. He is waiting on confirmation from Mark for the building upgrades. Do you know when those will begin? He would like to list the specific upgrades that will be made for each building when he contacts them. I have attached his list here. Please let him know if all of these will be able to happen and when.

Additionally, Thomas was informed that the Speech Communications building is not occupied this semester. Do you know how long it will be unoccupied? If it is longer than the fall semester, Thomas suggested reconsidering completing the upgrades.

Let me know if you would like to set up a meeting to discuss these items. Otherwise, Thomas will be needing the energy usage information from before and after the upgrades to include that in his final report. Thanks!  

Best Regards,

Mckenzie Beverage

Morgan,

I have attached the invoices for the RSOs. I have been informed by the RSO account tech that you need to make the check payable to the University of Illinois. You can put their RSO name in the memo or write c/o after the University of Illinois with their RSO name. Whichever works easiest for you. Once you have done this, please send the checks to me (my mail code is listed below). I will contact the students and give them instructions on how to cash these checks. Please let me know if you need anything further.

Subject: RE: Weatherization Project Payments

Hello all,

Thank you so much for participating in the 2011-2012 Weatherization Program. Your incentives for participating in the program will be available at the Office of Registered Organizations on the day classes begin. Please ask for me when you arrive.

When you come to pick up your check you will need to take it to the Cashier’s window in 100 Henry Administration Building. You will need your 4-digit RSO account number (ACCOUNT #1-90__ __ __ __-389005-307900-199000) in order to deposit the check into your RSO account. Your treasurer should know this number. If your treasurer does not know this number, he or she may request if from the Office of Registered Organizations (please note that only the treasurer may request this number).

Please let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy the last few days of summer!  

Best Regards,

Mckenzie Beverage
