ENERGY CONSERVATION AND WASHINGTON COUNTY

Sustainability Is a Priority for Washington County The County’s sustainability practices are designed to produce measurable results, provide long-term benefits, and improve efficiency. Disciplined thoughtful steps that are in the best interest of the organization and community are taken – now and in the future. Additionally, the Sustainability Resolution and Order (i) adopted by the Board of Commissioners in 2009 has prioritized energy conservation.

Everyone’s Efforts Make a Difference!When it comes to energy conservation, everyone’s efforts make a difference. Together we have the power to save. The County’s Sustainability Plan (ii) includes a building energy reduction goal of 20% by 2018; this will potentially result in up to $400,000 cumulative savings. Around 10%-15% of the planned energy savings could stem from occupant behavior.

Thank you for helping conserve energy! Everyone’s efforts make a difference!

HOW TO USE THE TOOLKITThe Energy Conservation Toolkit is an invitation for Washington County staff and leadership to explore steps they can take to contribute to energy conservation. It is designed to help initiate workplace dialogue and actions aimed at increasing energy efficiency. Guided by a discussion leader, key learning points are set up into short, three to five minute discussion topics for staff to engage with during meetings. Discussion leaders are encouraged to be creative and promote dialogue while strengthening and supporting energy efficiency practices at the County. The Toolkit also encourages an ongoing dialogue that highlights the important role staff plays in helping the County reach our sustainability and energy reduction goals.

The Toolkit is broken down into the following categories with correlating questions for discussion leaders to choose from: • General Information • Spring/Summer • Throughout the Year • Fall/Winter

Discussion leaders can also select their discussion topic of choice by visiting the “Index of Key Topics” on page 25. There, you will find a list of key terms related to energy conservation with the page number where they are located. This allows each department or discussion leader to further prioritize their energy conservation focus.

Energy Conservation Policies and ProceduresWashington County’s energy conservation related policies and procedures are available at the end of the Toolkit for County staff to review.

EMPLOYEES – CONSERVING ENERGY AT WASHINGTON COUNTY

General Information to Know:

• The County’s Sustainability Plan (ii) outlines activities for conserving resources. In addition, every department has their own sustainability plan that includes specific selected actions for reducing energy use.

• Energy saving efforts result in responsible use of County funds – The County’s building energy reduction goal of 20% by 2018 could result in up to $400,000 cumulative savings.

• Together we have the power to save energy. Around 10%-15% of building energy conservation potentially comes from occupant behavior. Everyone’s efforts make a difference.

• Washington County buildings are designed to operate most efficiently when outside temperatures fall between 20 and 90 degrees F. When conditions extend above or below that range, it is challenging to keep buildings within the optimum temperature range of 68-79 degrees F during normally assigned duty hours. For more information visit the County’s HVAC 101 (ix).

• Energy conservation actions result in saving taxpayers money.

• If you see something that appears to be contributing toward excessive energy use and needs to be fixed, contact your department’s Facilities Liaison. They will write and submit a work request.

• Energy conservation is prioritized in the Board of County Commissioners’ 2009 Sustainability Resolution and Order (i).

B6. Where does Washington County’s energy come from?

Answer:Portland General Electric is the County’s primary energy supplier.

Follow-up Question: What sources of energy does PGE utilize?

Answer:In 2015, these were the sources of PGE’s power: 38.5% from Hydroelectric, 31.8% from Coal, 19.2% from Natural Gas, 7.77% from Wind, 0.65% from Biomass, 0.39% from Nuclear, 0.13% from Waste, 0.11% from Petroleum, 0.05% from Solar.

For consideration: Over 51% of our energy comes from finite resources. A finite resource is formed at a rate that is much slower than its rate of consumption. Coal and natural gas, for example, take millions of years to form. The actions and choices we make today impact the quality of life for generations to come.

B8. How is the County using solar energy?

Answer:Washington County’s Public Services Building has a 65 kW thin film solar array installed on the roof. Funded in part by a federal stimulus grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the panels started generating electricity in spring 2012. The solar array generates an average of 70,500 kwh each year. This is equivalent to about three percent of the Public Services Building usage and saves thousands off the annual electric bill.

Follow-up Question: Would you like to track how much energy has been generated and used by the solar panels?

Answer:You can see how much the system is generating in real time, historically, and learn more about solar energy by visiting the solar panel kiosk in the PSB lobby or through the following online monitoring system webpage: http://live.deckmonitoring.com/?id=charles_d_cameron_public_services_building

Related topics: Alternative Energy, Solar Panels

B9. Why is energy conservation important to the County?

Answers:• Saving energy is included in the Sustainability Resolution and Order adopted by the Board of

County Commissioners in 2009 (i).

• The County is committed to building upon and expanding sustainability initiatives and practices and recognizes the importance of providing leadership in this area as a reflection of: 1) effective public administration, 2) health and well-being of our community, and 3) concern for future generations.

• The County has a Sustainability Mission: “Meet the County’s current economic, social and environmental needs while ensuring future generations are able to meet theirs.”

• The County’s Sustainability Plan (ii) has a goal of reducing energy use by 20% by 2018.

C. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

C1. What can you do with your computer during your work day to reduce energy use?

Answers:• If you are leaving for a meeting or taking a short lunch, manually switch your monitor off.

• If you will be gone for a half day, completely shut your computer down, then switch off the power strip to turn off all other devices. The era of mainframe computers in which equipment lasted longer when it was never turned off has come and gone. Modern hard drives are not affected by frequent shut-downs; equipment may actually last longer because mechanical wear and heat stress are reduced. If you are away from your desk during the work day for extended periods of time, save energy by turning your computer off.

• If your computer must remain on for remote access or special programs, please turn off the monitor.

Discussion: What other energy reducing steps can you take during your work day?

Related topics: Computer, Power Strip, Conservation, Employee Actions, Electronics

C2. Is it better to use the ADA push plate when opening doors or should you open the door manually?

Answer:When you enter and exit a Washington County building, when possible, open the door manually. If you press the ADA push plate unnecessarily, energy is wasted. Additionally, unnecessary use causes wear and tear resulting in the need to replace the entire automatic door before its time. Save the use of ADA doors for our colleagues and visitors who really need them.

Related topics: ADA Push Plate, Doors

12

C3. When you have the option, why is it better to take the stairs, versus using the elevator?

Answer:When you use the elevator you are using electricity. Taking the stairs doesn’t use any electricity. Every time you walk up three floors (vs. taking the elevator) you save around 23 cents. Do that four times in a day and you have saved the County and taxpayers almost a dollar. Choosing to walk up three flights of stairs is equivalent to preventing around 65 florescent light bulbs from burning for one hour.

Follow-up Question: What are some added benefits to taking the stairs?

Answer:Choosing the stairs gives you a free workout. Regular exercise results in improved health, reduced tension, and a longer life. You will also feel better, both mentally and emotionally. During peak use hours, you might also save some time.

Related topics: Stairs, Elevator, Health, Saving Money

C4. How can County employees help conserve energy by managing the use of lights?

Answers:• If you’re the last one out of the break room or conference room, turn off the lights.

• If you are working late, turn off any lights that aren’t in use.

• If you’re the last one to leave your office area at night, turn off all lights. You don’t need to leave the lights on for the cleaning staff. Their procedure is to turn the lights on when they are working in an area and turn them off when they move to the next section.

• If you don’t know where the light switches are located, ask your Department Facilities Liaison or Energy Team Member.

Did You Know: Leaving lights on overnight in a break room or office suite can cost $25 or more per month!

Discussion: Can you think of any steps you can take to help you remember to turn off the lights?

Related topics: Lights, Facilities Liaison, Energy Team, Employee Actions

C5. In a hurry to leave the office and having trouble remembering to turn your power strip off? Can you think of any ways you can help remind yourself to use the power strip?

Answers:• When feasible, place your power strip (vii) on the top of your desk

within easy reach.

• Place your car keys by your power strip

• Place a sign near the doorway of your office that you see before you leave

• Schedule a pop-up reminder on your Outlook Calendar to inform you ten minutes before you leave

C9. If you work from home, connect remotely to your computer and cannot turn it off at night, are there still ways to reduce phantom power?

Answer:Turning off monitors is a great way to reduce energy consumption. Even modern LCD monitors can consume as much power as an incandescent light bulb.

Related topics: Phantom Load, Computer, Monitors

C10. What are some ways to reduce energy consumption with the use of break room water dispensers and coolers?

Answers:• Attach a timer that turns the water cooler off overnight while not

in use. Contact the Facilities Division to explore your options (ext. 8715).

• Choose an Energy Star model.

• Get rid of your office water dispenser altogether and drink water out of the faucet if available. Bottled water is not safer than tap water. Buying water for water dispensers is like pouring money down the drain. It is thousands of times more expensive than tap water, which is just as clean and healthy.

• If your office has one installed, use water from a chilled, filtered water fountain.

Did You Know: The average office water cooler consumes 80kWh per year. That is as much as two high-power computers or 13 laptops.

C11. What are some ways to reduce unnecessary energy use with large, commercial coffee makers in your break room?

Answers:• Attach a timer to it so that it isn’t warming water overnight. Contact the Facilities Division

to explore your options (ext. 8715).

• Consider using a smaller household model.

Did You Know: The average commercial coffee maker uses 1349 kWh per year at a cost of around $121 annually.

Related topics: Break Room, Coffee Maker, Timer, Facilities Division

C12. What office appliances use extra energy?

Answer:Electric stapler, electric pencil sharpener, clock radio, small stereo, cell phone charger, decorative desktop fountain, fan, water heater, coffee maker, personal printer, space heater, cubicle microwave, desk lamp, deskside refrigerator, etc.

Follow-up Question: What can employees do to reduce the energy consumed by these appliances?

Answers:• Choose manual (vs. electric).

• When appropriate, place appliances in central locations (e.g., break rooms and shared printing stations) where employees can share them.

• Connect all appliances to your power strip and turn your power strip off at the end of each day to reduce phantom load.

• When possible, choose to go without.

• When not in use, or if you are leaving your office for a meeting, turn the appliance off.

• Detach phone chargers when not in use, or charge during the daytime (vs. leaving the cell phone charging all night).

• Unless otherwise approved, space heaters aren’t allowed (viii). If your office space is uncomfortable, please contact the Facilities Division (ext. 8715)

• Unplug infrequently used appliances when they are not in use.
