To date, three projects have utilized the Green Campus Loan Fund for New Construction: Harvard Business School’s renovations of Hamilton Hall and Wyss Hall, and the Divinity School's renovation of Rockefeller Hall.

Click the links below to see a summary of each project and a LCC analysis of all associated costs and savings.

Hamilton Hall implemented a mechanical setback system using occupancy sensors in rooms, which set the cooling or heating +/- 5 degrees after 15 minutes without occupancy, and +/-10 degrees after 8 hours of the room without occupancy. The system is expected to save over $11,000 in energy costs, with a ten year payback period.

 

Wyss Hall installed HANSA smart panel induction units, which are expected to save over $4,000 in annual energy costs, with a 9.75 year payback period.

 

Rockefeller Hall incorporated a number of energy conservation measures, including increased insulation in the building envelope, optimized lighting, and the addition of occupancy sensors. These measures are expected to save almost $16,000 per year in energy costs, with a 7.8 year paypack period.

As Harvard projects begin to adopt uniform strategies for LCC calculation, more case studies will be posted.
