ORNL has implemented numerous initiatives to increase sustainability and employee engagement on its campus. Over the past decade, it has modernized facilities, with nearly half of current space being less than 10 years old. Initiatives include promoting sustainable transportation, installing electric vehicle charging stations, offering wellness programs, and implementing waste reduction efforts. ORNL engages employees through seminars, newsletters, and a program that encourages sustainability suggestions from staff. It also collaborates regionally and internationally to share best practices and advance deployment of sustainable technologies.

Notas do Editor
- Brought together existing initiatives, providing synergies, adding many new initiatives
- Sustainable Campus Initiative Roadmap Owners was updated since we last talked to better meet ORNL’s needs. We wanted to share this updated version with you for your reference.
- Also seminar series, monthly newsletter, website, speakers bureau, ASR, awards and recognitions etc
- 2013 “Roane Beautification “ award by the Roane County Industrial Development Board for its significant modernization and sustainable campus improvements rigorously made over the past decade2013 Federal Energy and Water Management Award2013 “Green Achievers” award by GoGreen East Tennessee for its participation in the GoGreen.com Business Recognition ProgramEnergy Efficiency in Existing Buildings: - Energy Conservation Measure Implementation:· Implement life cycle cost effective Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) to continue progress in reducing the backlog of proposed ECMs that ORNL has accrued over the last 4 years from EISA required energy and water evaluations. To date, the average return on each dollar invested in ECMs will amount to about $2.80 over the lifecycle. In FY’13, $436,000 was dedicated to ECM implementation for an anticipated life cycle cost savings of approximately $1.23 million. In FY’14 ORNL’s ECM backlog will total approximately $2.46 million in implementation cost with an associated cost savings of approximately $789,000 annually. At current funding levels, it will take approximately 6-1/2 years to completely eliminate the backlog, missing about $1.97 million in cost savings opportunity during that period.· ECMs are a fundamental component of efforts toward continued reduction of site energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions to comply with Executive Order 13514. Impact if additional funds are not received:The rate of ECM backlog reduction is severely slowed and energy conservation missed opportunity costs further accumulate. ORNL may be perceived as unresponsive to the recommendations of the Inspector General’s 2012 report, “Opportunities for Energy Savings at Department of Energy Facilities”. - Meter Installation:· Utility metering infrastructure improvements to make necessary progress towards compliance with EISA 434(b), Not later than October 1, 2016, each agency shall provide for building level metering of natural gas and steam in accordance with guidelines established by the Secretary. Currently, only 4% of site steam consumption is metered at the building level.· Continue implementation of advanced electrical metering infrastructure. FY’13 progress is on track for 30 new meter installations that enable energy efficiency and facilities staff to more readily identify energy conservation opportunities and track results. An additional 20 new meter installations are planned for FY’14. Impact if additional funds are not received:Significantly increase risk of non-compliance with EISA 434(b) in FY’2016. Increased potential for energy and cost conservation opportunities to be missed and/or results not adequately tracked. - Retro-Commissioning & Energy Audits:· Conduct energy and water evaluations (audits) as a best practice and to make required progress towards compliance with EISA 432, Energy and water evaluations must be completed every 4 years for all federal “covered facilities”; those that constitute 75% of the agency’s facility energy use. ORNL targets 25% of its covered facilities each year to make steady progress over the 4 year cycle.· FY’13 evaluations were conducted under a new more specific statement of work with the assistance of a contractor who was selected in a competitive procurement process. This resulted in a high quality outcome with thoroughly conceived energy conservation measures.· The FY’14 evaluation process will build on FY’13’s experience and make adjustments where necessary to optimize the outcome.· Conduct retro or re-commissioning processes to optimize the operation of facilities’ systems where opportunities are identified in energy/water evaluations and by Facilities Engineers. Impact if additional funds are not received:Significantly increase risk of non-compliance with EISA 432. Failure to identify and properly quantify energy and cost conservation opportunities. Compromise the potential to optimize the performance of systems to better support the facility mission with increased efficiency.
