    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 286 274 EA 019 665 AUTHOR Isaacs, Nigel; Donn, Michael TITLE Closing the Loop--Improving Energy Management in Schools. Energy Research Group Report. INSTITUTION Victoria Univ. of Wellington (New Zealand). SPONS AGENCY New Zealand Dept. of Education, Wellington. PUB DATE Jul 87 NOTE 117p.; Portions of the appendices contain small. broken print. PUB TYPE Reports - Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC05 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Computer Oriented Programs; *Cost Effectiveness; Databases; *Electronic Control; *Energy Audits; *Energy Conservation; *Energy Management; Foreign Countries; Fuel Consumption; *Heating; School Maintenance; Secondary Education; Utilities IDENTIFIERS *New Zealand ABSTRACT A study of the energy savings potential in New Zealand schools demonstrates that considerable reductions in energy costs can be achieved through energy management. An initial examination of available 1985 light, heat, and water expenditures for 268 secondary schools (84 percent of the secondary schools in New Zealand) is followed by the selection of a number of schools for detailed investigation and for action. Three Wellington and four Christchurch schools were monitored with electronic dataloggers during winter 1986, both before and after action had been taken to improve energy management. In all cases remedial work was cost-effective, with pay-back times of not more than 2 years and in some cases of a few months. Savings in heating fuel costs through improved management ranged from 30 percent to 50 percent, far exceeding original estimates. Techniques used included walk-through energy audits, replacement of timeclock boiler controls with self-adaptive optimum start/stop controllers, runhour meters, and repair of faulty controls. Recommendations for further action are given, and a basic approach to an improved energy management program for the Department of Education is outlined.
