Questions that I want to ask Joe Harrell, Maury DuPont, Beth McGrew, and/or Tim Spaeth

Hi everyone, yesterday we had talked about perhaps posting up questions that we were interested in finding answers to so that we can coordinate contacting people.  So here are the questions that I would like answered (and a little bit about why I want them answered).

1) Is it possible to obtain a breakdown of electricity and HVAC use for each building on UC's campus (it seems the first step to find the "low hanging fruit" is to see which buildings might be easily retrofitted to decrease energy use, for example I suspect that McMicken Hall doesn't have particularly good insulation and perhaps doing something as simple as replacing windows there might cut heating and cooling needed)?

2) Which buildings currently have lighting retrofits or were built with electricity efficiency in mind?  (Again, it seems that replacing light ballasts might be an easy way to squeak out a bit of energy efficiency)

3) I'd also like to know a little bit more about the proposed technologies/measures to decrease power use in lab buildings (e.g. I'd like to learn about the sensor systems they're planning to use, whether they are asking people to close the sashes in fume hoods when labs aren't in use, etc).

4) I'd also like to get information about the initiatives that the people on the various committees on the chart that Beth McGrew put on the board are working on.

I think those are the four questions that I'm most interested in finding answers for.  If I think of more questions, I'll post them here.
