Power + Green

Getting to know you…
• Understand what you have– HVAC care and feeding– Relationship with maintenance- build a team– What’s a “setpoint”?– Small fixes– Building map of usage

For archivists and collection stewards
-Know thy collection-Climate- indoors and out-Collect data– and check it-Avoid too much fixation on climate targets-Make sure you know what you need- and that
you are asking for the right thing

Evaluating your space

Archives and resource consumption
• Electricity/fossil fuel use determined by environmental controls > archivist/conservator
• Tight control means higher energy consumption
• Increase in mechanical sophistication > decrease in tolerance for deviation on T/RH
• Sophisticated systems require expertise

A few energy facts
• Buildings consume 2/3 of all electricity in the US and produce almost 1/3 of greenhouse gases
• 80% of that energy comes from coal• Between 10-20% of energy is wasted
Peter Pfeiffer, “Real and Relevant Green Buildings,” 2007

Impact of electricity usage
• Loss at each conversion step- only 30-50% reaches destination

Conservation versus Efficiency
• Can we change behavior?
• “Do less to use less”
![Page 11: The Power of Green Discussing Broader Implications of Institutional Decisions Heather Soyka Assistant Archivist/Head of Preservation, Texas Tech University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/5697bfc91a28abf838ca9324/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• What is the relationship between heritage and sustainability?
• How can we balance presentation, workspace, and preservation needs? – Ongoing conversation and evaluation

Outreach and Advocacy
Effects of evaluation/”greening”:-direct $ savings, but also indirect benefits
Other ways to make a difference:-recycling program, shredding -building tours/discussion of sustainability
