  1. LED Lighting

    Associated Project(s): 
    LED Interior Lights

    Hi James,

    I am working with facilities in your area to help them upgrade to LED lighting which reduces their overall costs and improves sustainability. Right now, there are very attractive incentives from the energy companies to retrofit lighting which improves the ROI on the project. In many cases, CES can do upgrades without any capital investment and still deliver significant monthly cost savings.

     

    If you have not fully converted to LED lighting, could you let me know when works for you for me to come in and give you a free proposal? If you're not the correct contact within your organization, can you please point me in the right direction? If your facility is already all LED, please let me know as well.

     

    Thank you,

  2. Division of Responsibility Map (Draft for Review)

    Below is an email from Chad Kupferschmid:

    Hello,

     

    I created and attached a “Draft” version map book for Level 2 DOR. Please note the legend at the top of each page contains all of the departments identify by the team and are included in the GIS domain list. The departments that were actually assigned to GIS features in the current draft, I made bold and located them on the left side of the legend. The remainder and current non-assigned departments I left in the Legend for reference during the review process. Once the review is complete and we’ve reached a “Final” status with the map/data, I will leave unassigned departments off the list.

     

    There is a lot to take in with this level of detail so I created an ArcReader version to assist with the review process, use one of the three options below to find and access the map.

     

    Option 1:

    Click the link to Launch the Map directly in ArcReader: J:\10_Transfer\Workgroups\DoR_Infrastructure_Review\ArcReader_DOR_Level_2_Review.pmf

    Note with this option a dialogue will popup asking if you for sure want to open the file, click Open.

     

    Option 2:

    Click the link, to find the map on J-drive then double click the .pmf file to access: J:\10_Transfer\Workgroups\DoR_Infrastructure_Review\

     

    Option 3:

    Manually follow the path on J-drive to get to the map then double click the .pmf file to access: J:\10_Transfer\Workgroups\DoR_Infrastructure_Review

  3. SSC funds Media Commons Lighting

    Associated Project(s): 
    Student Sustainability Committee (SSC)
    LED Interior Lights

    The Media Commons at the University of Illinois Undergraduate Library offers all U of I students, faculty and staff access to our Video Production Studio, and other Media Commons Studios. The studio is primarily utilized by students of all majors and interests for the purpose of capturing high quality video footage, using professional studio equipment (cameras, lights, etc.)  This project replaces the current outdated, high energy consumption fluorescent lighting sources with a far more energy-efficient, low heat producing, and longer-lasting LED lighting system. LED lights also eliminate the need to replace bulbs, especially fluorescent bulbs which are constructed of hazardous materials.

  4. LED project suggestion

    Ken,

    Let’s do this, and let Randy Whitman know we appreciate his suggestions – both about the LEDs and the attachment method.

    Thanks.

    Ken & Carl,

    Please see below for Randy Whitman’s suggestion of LEDs in the step lights at Lincoln Hall. I concur 100% that they would save energy and maintenance effort.

    The cost would be in the ballpark of $1000-1500 including labor install.  Could this be done under maintenance, or should we look for other funding from RLF or SSC?

    Subject: Energy Savings proposal

    Eva,         

                    I read somewhere recently that the University is transitioning to the use of LED lights as an energy savings measure.  I have a small proposal that would be a step in that direction.  In Lincoln Hall Theater there are numerous (at least 45) un-switched, un-dimmed, aisle/step lights that are on 24 hours a day to provide safe egress from the theater.  Currently they are lamped with 9 watt CFLs that cost approximately $5.00 with a life expectancy of 8,000 hours.  I have talked to Terry Gustafson from Englewood and he could get us a 3.5 watt LED lamp for $11.70 with a life expectancy of 25,000 hours.  The LED will provide adequate illumination for egress purposes.  So, for a little more than twice the cost we could get 3 times the lamp life and consume 60% less energy as well.  The #1 electric shop is already stocking that 3.5 watt LED lamp for candelabra fixtures in the foyer of the theater.  So, I was wondering if replacing the CFL lamps with LED lamps could be submitted to someone as a cost/energy savings measure?

                   If this idea does not fall within your scope of work could you please tell me who I should submit this proposal to?  

    On another  note for those aisle fixtures, I believe we need to modify the attachment of the fixtures to the floor box  adding washers to the attachment screws.  These fixtures are being kicked and become so loose that the wires feeding the fixtures become exposed creating a safety hazard for occupants of the theater.  I believe that the warranty for these fixtures has expired so they could be modified with better attachment means at the same time they are being re-lamped if a work order were to be generated to do this needed upgrade.

      Thanks for your time and attention.
