Minnesota GreenCorps and Fond du Lac
Fond du Lac’s Air Program was looking for someone to tackle building energy efficiency.
Fond du Lac receives the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency news letter where the grant for a MN GreenCorps member was advertised.

The State of Minnesota B3 Energy Benchmarking Program has been developed by the State of Minnesota Department of Administration and Department of Commerce to help state and local governments improve the energy performance of their buildings by tracking and managing facility energy consumption.
Made in collaboration with the private design firm the Weidt Group.

Energy use burns fuels that contribute to poor air quality as well as global climate change.
Energy costs money and wasting energy means there is less money to spend on other programs.
Why do we Care about Building Energy Use?

the nation and experiences extreme temperatures

Vulnerability to Global Climate Change
Ecologically sensitive "hotspots" - Areas projected to undergo the greatest degree of species turnover
![Page 18: Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency coordinates an Americorps program, Minnesota GreenCorps, which aims](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551663dd550346b2068b5fcb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why Benchmark Buildings?
You cannot manage what you cannot measure.
There is a disconnect between those who pay the utility bills and those who manage the buildings.
![Page 19: Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency coordinates an Americorps program, Minnesota GreenCorps, which aims](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551663dd550346b2068b5fcb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Data Collection Gathering 3 years of utility data
for all the buildings reservation wide proved challenging
The Utility will provide this information
Collect account and meter numbers and understand what those meters power
Push the utility to give you the best data possible
![Page 20: Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency coordinates an Americorps program, Minnesota GreenCorps, which aims](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551663dd550346b2068b5fcb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Entering Data in B3 Keying in data can be time
consuming.
It can go a lot faster if your utility can give you digital data (numbers you can copy and paste).
Keep a hard copy of the data.
![Page 21: Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency coordinates an Americorps program, Minnesota GreenCorps, which aims](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551663dd550346b2068b5fcb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Maintaining Data in B3 Historic utility data going back 3
years is great but it is vital to maintain current data as well.
We had to determine how we were going to collect that energy use data every month and who was going to enter it.
![Page 22: Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency coordinates an Americorps program, Minnesota GreenCorps, which aims](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551663dd550346b2068b5fcb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Analyzing the Data Now you know how much energy
your buildings use, GREAT! But what are you going to do with that information?
Benchmarking is a great tool to identify potential energy savings through both retrofit installations and more efficient building management.

Get Facility Managers Involved
Benchmarking is a great tool to identify poor performing buildings and create a plan for better managing the energy use through the building automation software.
Training building managers to use the benchmarking software and incorporating efficient building management training is a FREE way to save money and energy used.

Identifying and Prioritizing
Retro Fit Projects

Pool Covers The Cloquet Community Center is
housed in the Fond du Lac Tribal Center.
It has a large swimming, a small shallow children's pool, and a spa tub
These pools are heated to at least 70° F
![Page 31: Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency coordinates an Americorps program, Minnesota GreenCorps, which aims](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551663dd550346b2068b5fcb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Reducing the Costs of Operating a pool
Adding pool covers reduces the amount of energy dollars that evaporates off the pool.
Many nationwide case studies estimate the energy savings from pool covers from 30 % to 55%
Less evaporation means less make up water and less chemicals (also cost $) needed to treat the pool water.
Less evaporation and less chemicals used means less corrosion to the surrounding structures.

Update the HVAC System Early Head Start Building Used by the preschool education
program 18,000 SF containing classrooms,
offices and a kitchen. The building has electric
resistance heat in the ductwork with 2 exterior air handlers and 2 split system air conditioners

What Do the Numbers Mean?
Using the Benchmark tool helps you understand how much energy you could save if you bring the building up to the current energy code.

Looking Beyond the Numbers
What type of energy is being used to heat the building matters.

HVAC Occupancy Sensors Black Bear Resort and Casino hotel
rooms 234,025 SF more than half of
square feet of the complexThe hotel rooms use the largest
portion of energy for the complex and a great deal of that comes from heating and cooling
Occupancy controls for the HVAC can cut down on energy used.

Lighting Retrofits Lighting Retrofits are the low hanging
fruit of energy efficiency improvements.
Fond du Lac has been changing out their old lights for new more efficient one and it has paid off in energy costs and maintenance

Large Space Air Management System Why ventilate a gym for 120
occupants when you have a gym class with 30 students in the space. Moving around that much air and conditioning outside air uses a lot of energy.
A large space air management system was installed at the Ojibwe school gym which included a variable speed drive as well as CO occupancy sensors.
