Speaker 4: We are the green gems Enterprise.
My name is Seneca, and I'm one of the presidents
of the Enterprise and I'm a member on the
glrc retrofit team.
I'm Trevor and I'm a member of the mr.
Lid
Speaker 2: team.
I'm Elsie and I'm the team lead for the GRC
retrofit teen.
Speaker 3: I'm Nick and I am on the tiny house
Speaker 4: build team.
The mission of the green camps Enterprises
to help Michigan Tax Administration effectively
engage the university community in reducing
our carbon footprint.
We do this to a variety of projects which
we will talk about Next we'll go through our
current teams.
We have teams that are in place every year
and other teams that are just there for as
long as a project last.
So our first team is the Clean Air cool planet
team.
This team is actually what started the Enterprise
they calculate the carbon footprint of the
University every year.
So this team is always are always been around
and currently for this year.
They're calculating the 2019 carbon footprint
and they're almost done with that.
They're just working on entry in the last
of the travel vouchers.
So those go into University travel any carbon
that we would generate through traveling as
you can see we have the grass from the 2018
carbon inventory to slightly different ones.
The top one is location-based.
So Those are all the carbon inventory that
we use on Michigan text property.
So things that happened directly on campus
or on other properties that machine check
phone the market-based you can tell a slightly
different and that's simply because University
purchases when credits from downstate, Michigan,
so that alters the carbon inventory slightly
So the other team we've always had is the
campus culture team and their goal is to move
the culture of Michigan Tech's campus in the
direction of increase the stain ability currently,
they're working on updating the green Campus
website cuz it was a little outdated and they
run her social media, they write newsletters
and they also have a partnership with residence
education and Housing Services.
So did you think with housing to implement
sustainability initiatives into the residents
curriculum as well as burning an energy competition,
so This is an example of one of the newsletters
that to increase the stain ability.
Yeah, they kind of do the interacting with
the community to increase the same ability.
So the single use
Speaker 3: FrostWire team is the first of
the teams that don't even exist for the duration
of the project.
All their project is to create a chiller system
on
Speaker 4: campus to recoup water from the
lab equipment
Speaker 3: to reduce Michigan tax water usage.
So the progress has been made so far as all
the m2u lab managers have been contacted and
they are currently gathering information for
us to use and we've been researching potential
cooler app.
In the mr.
Lid team for the project is to
Speaker 4: implement a reusable container
program at the mobs North Coast dining hall
Speaker 3: and complete life cycle assessment
Speaker 4: for both batteries will container
Speaker 3: which is the container in the containers
that will be replacing.
Speaker 4: The progress has been made so far
as the program is ready to be implemented
this fall
Speaker 3: and the program is basically you
are afraid of tag for the container you get
your meal in that reusable container.
Once you're done with your meal you return
that container and get the tag back and you
also get us like discount on all your food
and the preliminary lca's have been completed
sew-in using the semi-pro program.
And more information is being added as we
Speaker 2: go.
Our next team is the tiny house Community
team and it was created in the fall of 2017
after a survey was sent out to the student
asking about interest in living in such a
community.
Basically this project its coolest design
a sustainability minded community on campus
where students can live in their tiny houses
at this point.
The design has been completed a plot of land
has been chosen in and it's a design has been
created around that.
And nobody at community house where students
can come and gather at this point with the
design complete.
It's just working on the final cost analysis
and then pitching at the University.
Our next project is a glrc retrofit team.
This project is looking to design a system
to disperse access heating to the Portage
and complete a environmental impact analysis.
So the glrc has a lot of excess heat that
needs to be disbursed because of the lab equipment
and supercomputer in the basement.
I'm right now, the current system is to use
several dry coolers and he's are excessively
noisy can be heard half way across campus
and then also use lots of electricity.
I'm so we've come up with a more efficient
design that uses much less electricity by
running a closed system light through the
Portage.
Yeah, so you can see that here and it's it
would be hooked up to where the dry colors
are in the dry coolers would remain online
as a backup to the system.
It would the system would run down to the
pipe would run down to the Portage.
And then come back out and trying to the current
system.
So it would just be installing the pipe right
now.
We're working on the environmental impact
to see how that What effect on Portage?
Speaker 3: You going to the tiny house build
team is to design construction and Viator
a Net Zero Energy tiny home for an MC professor.
And we're doing this to say Billy mindset
with other materials were trying to sort of
stuff as local as possible provide the lower
the embodied carbon of all by building materials
and also have a good idea how much material
we're going to need.
So we have as little waist when are complete
with the project and then to minimize our
impact on the area were going to build the
house.
We are trying to do panelized construction,
which would enable us to build a house essentially
all on campus and transport to the site.
Can I just file construction there and minimize
damaging the system as the plot of land that
we have for this house has very untouched.
It's never been developed on so we really
want to keep intact as much as we can.
And we just threw three teams a building structure
team a mechanical team and a power and electricity
team.
And our current progress is we are obviously
decided on a final model with our client and
we are just getting ready to do our blueprint
drawings so we can be construction fall.
And as Ruby complete destruction will be minoring
to see how close we got to our estimated thermal
demand and energy loads to see if you met
that Net Zero Energy requirement.
Are we doing that through Revit CAD as well
as passive house planning package, which is
a European Standard that for you that we chose
to use if they have very Net Zero Energy sustainable
minded.
Stuff that's a wrap a couple things up.
We are planning on wrapping up the expression
for team as well as the tiny house community
and a thank you to our sponsor suffix.
I am for all the paperwork is done with the
mister the
Speaker 4: team All right.
So, thank you and have a good day.
