News about Library winning
Associated Project(s):Libraries Win Energy Awards
Jan 23, 2014
The Energy Conservation Incentive Program (ECIP) at Illinois awards building upgrades on campus in facilities which have produced top energy conservation results. Each year eight campus buildings receive ECIP awards in two separate categories. Those selected have demonstrated the greatest percentage of energy conservation over a one-year period.
In 2013, three of eight awards went to Urbana campus libraries. The Undergraduate Library won 1st Place in the Occupant Action category; in the Energy Advancement category, the Main Library took 3rd Place while the Grainger Engineering Library took 4th Place. These libraries will work with the Utilities & Energy Services Division within Facilities & Services at the University to implement upgrades to their appearance or functionality.
The Energy Advancement category is for campus buildings whose energy reduction is the result of central funding from a significant energy conservation project. The Occupant Action category is for those buildings which have not benefited from such projects in the last fiscal year.

FY13 ECIP Award Winners Announced
Associated Project(s):Energy Advancement Category
- Atmospheric Sciences Building 53.3%
- Spurlock Museum 44.5%
- Main Library 43.1%
- Grainger Engineering Libra 41.3%
Occupant Action Category
- Undergraduate Library 35.2%
- Law Building 35.1%
- Christopher Hall 30.6%
- Henry Administration Building 28.4%
Explanation of calculations
Associated Project(s):We take total energy usage by building (electricity, Steam, Nat Gas and Chilled Water) convert all of those to one common unit, MMBTU (million British Thermal Units) and after adjusting for the weather differences between years, compare each building's annual usage with the year before. We then convert the change into a percentage and then rank all eligible buildings by percentage saved. The top four in each category win first through fourth. Having won in FY13 does not disqualify you from winning in the future. The goal is to encourage individual contributions to saving energy. Mike Marquissee
