Sagehen Creek Field Station

16 Jun, 01 PM - 18 Jun, 01 PM

Two researchers (myself and a teammate) will be visiting the Reserve to conduct an energy audit of the facilities. The audit will assess lighting, HVAC, appliance load, and water efficiency. The team will check current lighting levels in all rooms, make note of all lamp types, check for leaks in doors and windows, check phantom loads of appliances, check efficiency of sink and shower flow rates, and look for leaks in sinks and showers. Other electric loads, such as types/ages of appliances, may also be taken into account, as will sources of electricity (e.g. solar). Findings will be discussed with Reserve Manager and translated into efficiency guidelines for future visitors. Recommendations will be made for potential retrofits, as well. At a later date, project will seek additional outside funding in a second leg of research, in order to provide some materials and services for simple fixes (such as LED bulbs or window sealing).
