As part of the ICECF 2009 Lighting Retrofit, 1,154 T-12 fixtures in nine buildings belonging to the Illinois State Water Survey were replaced with more energy-efficient T-8 fixtures. This switch will incur an Annual kWh Savings of 181,017 hours. The simple payback for this project is -2.45 years.

James provided the attached list of buildings audited by student teams in FY11.  Unfortunately, these audits were rushed and incomplete.  There were many follow up discussions about paying the student teams as originally intended, and in the end the teams were not paid.  This decision was coordinated by Mckenzie Beverage, the SSC Program Advisor, during FY12 and FY13.

As part of the ICECF 2009 Lighting Retrofit, 2,977 T-12 fixtures in the Newmark Civil Engineering Laboratory were replaced with more energy-efficient T-8 fixtures. This switch will incur an Annual kWh Savings of 403,004 hours. The simple payback for this project is 1.17 years.

In March 2011, John Dempsey, then Executive Director of Facilities and Services, signed the conservation plan for the State Threatened Franklin's ground squirrel at the South Farms location (for wind turbine installation).

A modified version of the site location for the wind turbine was proposed.

In March 2011, the university provided the history and the current status update regarding the wind turbine project at the South Farms location.

A Site Selection committee was formed to evaluate potential locations for the Solar Farm.

In February 2011, the Mayor of Urbana wrote a letter to Morgan Johnston regarding wind turbine project on South Farms location. She asked the university to conduct research on the issues mentioned in the letter before the start of the wind turbine project.

Following the meeting on January 31, 2011, the university received comment cards from the public.

In January 2011, the university held a second meeting with the public. Morgan Johnston presented a seminar on South Farm Wind Turbine Project, and received comments and questions from the public.
