Goals
“How we are doing”
Electricity and Natural Gas:
The TDCJ has moved forward as planned with implementation of Executive Order RP-49. Utility and energy consumption reduction remains a number one priority of the agency. The consumption reduction goal of 2.5% per year, for electricity and natural gas, appears to be achievable when compared to the respective annual targets. All TDCJ regions and individual units have been provided quarterly information to track their electricity and natural gas consumption, compared to their individual targets, and the relationship to the overall agency goal shown on page 4. The current agency consumption updates are provided on pages 5 and 6. Additionally, an employee awareness pamphlet has been developed to stress importance to create a mind set that energy consumption reduction is a responsibility of all agency employees and that everyone can make a difference. To emphasize utility and energy reduction awareness, the pamphlets are distributed to the Wardens at the unit Preliminary Energy Audit and to new Sergeants (approximately 490 since September 2007) at the monthly Sergeant Academy during the Facilities Energy Management Utility Consumption Reduction Awareness Presentation. An agency Green Committee has been established to develop agency-wide operational strategies designed to enhance conservation of utility and energy consumption and incorporate the Facilities Energy Management Presentation to target all levels of TDCJ staff. The TDCJ has completed 81 unit Preliminary Energy Audits and has another 27 in various stages of completion to identify the greatest opportunities for utility and energy consumption reduction. The TDCJ engineering staff continues to closely scrutinize all facility repair and renovation projects to ensure they meet mandated energy design certification requirements. The most energy efficient products are incorporated into each design.
Gasoline:
TDCJ is committed to achieving the target goal established by the Executive Order RP-49 of an annual 2.5% decrease in gasoline consumption. TDCJ has compiled a consumption comparison report of FY07 to FY08 using the data collected in the TDCJ Fleet Management System (VEH). The information is presented in two formats, by division and by type of vehicle. This comparison report is then forwarded to TDCJ’s executive staff to be used as a monitoring tool. All TDCJ divisions and employees should adhere to TDCJ Administrative Directive 02.50 Vehicle Policy. Strict enforcement of the proper uses of state vehicles, bulk fueling stations, and car-pooling could result in additional savings. TDCJ will continue to review current policies and procedures on vehicle usage for perimeter patrol, offender transport, escape recovery, and emergency evacuation for potential energy conservation. Once the review is complete, any additional areas identified as a potential energy savings will be included in future quarterly reports. The 10% Ethanol blend of unleaded fuel has been introduced in major metropolitan areas of Texas and TDCJ received their first delivery on April 26, 2006 in Houston. Ethanol burns at a slightly higher rate than MTBE blended Unleaded Fuel. According to the American Coalition for Ethanol (http://www.ethanol.org/FAQs.htm) the burn rate will increase the number of gallons by 1.5%.

New Ideas
Electricity and Natural Gas:
TDCJ has entered into an energy service performance contract with Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI). A detailed timeline has been finalized and JCI has completed Preliminary Energy Audits at four (4) units that have abnormally high consumption. JCI has completed investment grade Detailed Utility Audits (DUA) at the Middleton unit and the Montford unit, with the Estelle unit and the Hughes unit in process. Results of the DUA will take several months due to the size and nature of TDCJ facilities. Updates on this process will be provided in future quarterly reports.
Gasoline:
TDCJ will continue to prepare a monthly e-mail to TDCJ departments making them aware of the recommendations of Executive Order RP-49. As an agency, our goal is to reduce consumption, which can be reached if we make the employee using the vehicle or equipment aware of the goal. TDCJ is in the process of purchasing 11 Ford Focus vehicles in FY08 to replace intermediate automobiles in our motor pool. The current average for the motor pool intermediate automobiles is 26 miles per gallon and the published miles per gallon on the Ford Focus are 24 City and 33 Highway. TDCJ has also recently purchased vehicles that have the Flex Fuel capabilities, which would allow us to run the 85% Ethanol blend of gasoline. E85 Ethanol burns at a higher rate and would increase the gallon usage by 22% to 30%, but this fuel would reduce the carbon emissions by 17%. Currently E85 is only available at a limited number of retail fuel stations in major metropolitan areas and is approximately 30 cents per gallon cheaper than regular unleaded gasoline.
