At some point in the past, perhaps FY 09, Terry Ruprecht and the Provost’s office worked out an agreement to provide a funding source for “quick payback projects.” This meant that the payback was expected to be quick, typically in the 1-3 year range. This was a onetime funding source. A variety of projects (10-15) have been brought forward and funded at a value of approximately 1 million dollars. These projects have included lighting retrofits, fume hood removals, chiller control upgrades, adding variable frequency drives (VFDs) to HVAC equipment, temperature control upgrades, and hot water control valve replacements.
Beginning April 12, 2011 Abbott Power Plant will no longer burn any coal during the summer, when natural gas is enough to meet the campus energy demands.

James provided the attached list of buildings audited by student teams in FY11. Unfortunately, these audits were rushed and incomplete. There were many follow up discussions about paying the student teams as originally intended, and in the end the teams were not paid. This decision was coordinated by Mckenzie Beverage, the SSC Program Advisor, during FY12 and FY13.

In March 2011, John Dempsey, then Executive Director of Facilities and Services, signed the conservation plan for the State Threatened Franklin's ground squirrel at the South Farms location (for wind turbine installation).
A modified version of the site location for the wind turbine was proposed.
In March 2011, the university provided the history and the current status update regarding the wind turbine project at the South Farms location.
