In 2008, Darden established a bold vision: to be a zero waste, carbon neutral entity by 2020 as well as a top ten business school for teaching and research on sustainability by 2013. (To that end, Darden is home to the Alliance for Research on Corporate Sustainability [ARCS], a collaboration of institutions, primarily business schools, from more than a dozen leading universities.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve its vision, Darden began with a rigorous evaluation of its own operations and practices. Focusing on its extensive physical plant, the school contracted Automated Logic&#8217;s Virginia branch (formerly AERO Integrated Solutions) to re-commission its HVAC systems and provide ongoing maintenance support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Solution<br>Through AERO, Automated Logic has provided building control solutions to Darden since the school&#8217;s move to its current facility in 1995 and subsequent expansion in 2002. In February 2010, Darden implemented AERO&#8217;s Energy CARE (Commit, Assess, Reduce, and Envison) Package, customized for its ten-building complex comprising the school, faculty and administrative offices and guest lodging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Story<br>A number of Energy Conservation Measures were immediately performed on the physical plant including fan sequence modifications; night setbacks; chiller system sequencing; economizer repairs; optimization of all air handling units; cooling tower reconfiguration; and systems continuous commissioning, including performance testing, tuning, documentation and reporting. The work was performed with no major disruption to activities during occupied hours at the school, which operates year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance data is generated through the EnergyReports\u2122 application, the reporting tool integrated with Automated Logic&#8217;s WebCTRL\u00ae system, and energy reduction is being tracked and profiled by ENERGY STAR\u00ae, calculated to a 2009 baseline. Electrical reductions in the chiller plant and motor reductions on the air handling units account for the greatest proportion of energy savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Results for FY 2011 (July 2010 &#8211; June 2011) are impressive: Darden reduced real energy costs by $57,000 over the FY 2009 baseline, weather-normalized to $94,000 after temperature extremes are factored in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8222;The year (2010) was exceptionally hot, and Darden&#8217;s system demands were higher, but energy savings were still achieved without significant changes to setpoints and building schedules,&#8220; remarked Automated Logic&#8217;s Dan Knox, PE, CEM, LEED AP. The Energy Solutions Manager visits the school several times a month to consult on commissioning activities, maintenance issues and procurement practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8222;Automated Logic has definitely improved the efficiency of our systems,&#8220; noted Gary Wood, the University&#8217;s Zone Manager responsible for maintenance and housekeeping at Darden and several other campus installations. Wood added that both a HVAC mechanic and a WebCTRL\u00ae workstation are assigned to the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8222;Re-commissioning seemed like a good path,&#8220; added Erika Herz, Manager of Sustainability Programs and ARCS&#8217;s Managing Director. &#8222;We interviewed a lot of companies that could help us with our energy efficiency goals. But we&#8217;ve worked with Dan and Automated Logic for years, and Kristy (Schomaker, LEED AP O+M) has helped us think through how we can communicate the process. It also enables us to take advantage of Automated Logic&#8217;s newer services.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the five areas Darden identified for its sustainability efforts &#8211; conservation, energy efficiency, energy production, energy purchasing and carbon offsets &#8211; energy efficiency investments like re-commissioning activities &#8222;are among the least costly things we can do,&#8220; Herz concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Challenge The PlayersAt the University of Virginia&#8217;s top-ranked Darden School of Business, environmental sustainability isn&#8217;t merely a classroom topic; it&#8217;s key to the school&#8217;s business perspective.
