  Energy benchmarking is the next big step towards making our buildings more sustainable.  The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) has made energy benchmarking a key part of their current advocacy campaign.  This session will review successful programs that have been implemented in other cities and municipalities around the US and discuss what type of program would suit cities in our region moving toward sustainability like Madison, WI.  The session will be 50% overview of other cities’ programs, the benefits, their hurdles; and 50% open forum discussion.
  

  A major objective of this forum is to gauge the level of interest among key stakeholders in creating an energy benchmarking program for municipalities and to better understand the process of how we could go about setting up the program.

  Madison Brewery Tour
  

  
  

  No man can be called sane who can’t embrace a little madness on occasion, especially if you’re looking to create something unique, off the wall and ingenious. At Ale Asylum, embracing a bold, out-of-the-ordinary spirit seems to be a mission statement for the Madison, Wis.-craft brewery.  WGBA will tour and hear about the Ale Asylum's sustainable practices and features as listed below:

  • The spent grain that is produced in the beginning of our brewing process is collected by two WI farmers. One feeds it to his cows, the other operates the Madison arm of Milwaukee's Growing Power program. This farmer uses the spent grain for his "worm dirt".
  • We use a calandria to heat the wort in our brewing process. A lot of breweries use direct fire methods which tend to waste a lot of energy. Our method makes us an estimated 85% more effective.
  • When we cool down our wort in a heat exchanger, the heated water travels back to our hot liquor tank for other purposes.
  • Our fermentation vessels have a glycol system that pulls the heat off the fermentation process and uses it to heat the water used in our Tasting Room.
  • Our refrigeration system is equipped to draw cold air from outside in the winter and use it to chill our walk-in cooler.
  • Our boiler is not only the most efficient as possible, but it uses the lowest emissions.
