Residence Hall Renewal Plan
Introduction
University of Wisconsin-Stout Housing has a renewal plan set in place to renovate student housing
by 2025. The renewal plan started in 2009 and will
be complete by 2025.
In the Residence Hall Renewal Plan booklet that
Scott Giresbach gave to us it states, “ Remodeling
these buildings and replacing outdated windows,
heating systems, mechanical systems, plumbing
and electricity will result in substantial energy savings. In today’s dollars, the department will save
an estimated $127,000 per year when the entire
project is completed, or over $5,000,000 over the
next 40 years”.
Here is a breakdown of the estimated cost per
building and the renewal plan’s project time line:

We plan on focusing
mainly on the amount

of natural light, the
electricity usage, the furniture, materials and finishes, and indoor recycling.

In the residence halls, most of the furniture is
residential. (See Image 2) The materials and finishes could be
changed based
on durability and
sustainability,
and the recycling
is located on the
outside of the
building.

Through our research on this particular space we
will come up with solutions to create a space that is
comfortable, functional, and overall sustainable for
future residents.
Project Proposal
We are proposing to change the residential furniture
to commercial for a longer, more durable lifespan.
After consulting with Housing’s design team our
findings were the residential
furniture may last 2.5-4 years
where as commercial furniture may last at least 10+
years. We are proposing to
use the KI - Sela collection.
KI has a 10 year warranty on
their furniture. (See Image 3)
Image 3
If the style changes over time we would also like
to propose reupholstering instead of buying new
furniture.
For Lighting we are working with John Paulus for
bench marking for energy use and cost effectiveness. Once data is collected we have a clear view
on which light fixtures will be best.
For materials and finishes we consulted with the
housing design team and found out that they are
staying with broadloom
carpeting (See Image 4)
in the dorm rooms and
putting carpet tile (See
Image 5) in all of the public
areas. For paint we will
like to propose zero VOC
Quality overhead lighting is essential to every office
and industry, but the energy costs and frequent replacement of ordinary fluorescent lights bring down
the bottom line. Our LED replacement for fluorescent tubes lasts three times longer than ordinary
T8 lamps but uses less than half of the energy,
making the move to LED troffer lighting a smart
and sustainable business choice.
•Direct replacement for linear fluorescent lamps
•Uses less than half the energy of traditional fluorescent
•Lasts up to three times as long as ordinary linear
lamps
•Suitable for cold environments
•Easy and safe to upgrade by following installation
instructions carefully

Paint instead of the regular
commercial paint. It gives
you the opportunity to paint
with people around and it
gives the space a better air
quality.
Summary and Recommendations
Lighting
While researching for this project and coming up
with a solution for lighting replacements, it seemed
that our best choice was to propose LED lighting
throughout the existing space. That would mean
replacing the bulbs that currently exist with Retro
fitted tube lights. As specified below:
Product Specifications for LED Retro Fitted Tube
Light replacements source: (http://www.retrofitledlights.com/led-replacement-for-fluorescent-tubesled-troffer-lighting)
Bring bright, high-efficiency, low-maintenance lighting to all your linear overhead fixtures with our LED
replacement for fluorescent tubes. Each 4-foot
lamp is a direct fit replacement for ordinary fluorescent lamps, providing a quick and easy upgrade to
LED troffer lighting.
Economic, environmental, and social factors and
impacts:
Looking into the overall comparisons of the current
conditions versus the proposed lighting it is concluded that LED is the better choice over time. The
tables below show energy efficiency and energy
costs, environmental impact, general facts, and
light output.
Table 1
Table 2
Table 3
Table 4
Doing basic research like this wasn’t going to
give me all of the answers I needed to make a
conclusion. The next part was basic benchmarking and further calculations. For benchmarking
I went around and counted the interior lighting
of the dorm rooms, hallways, lounge areas, and
stairwells. This led me to do rough calculations on
wattage and Lighting Power Density per space (IES:
Illuminating Engineering Society). Below are the
numbers in a chart form:
Through these findings I was able to look into what
was being used and what is ultimately needed to
update this space to create a better environment
for these students. Using the proposed LED tube
lights as a replacement will create energy and cost
savings.

the lounge room, hallway and the dorm rooms. Carpet tile can also be sent back to the manufactures
to be recycled whereas broadloom has 15-20%
waste during installation and you can’t send it back
to the manufacture. In Dunn County they have a
fee for disposing carpeting. The fees are $55.00/
ton at the Transfer Station or $20/Cubic yard for
small loads. Even though carpet tile is more expensive, you will be saving in installation fees and later
on during the time of disposal. You will also save
money because you don’t have to buy more than
what you need.

This will be used in the lounge area. They have
an adhesive called
Tac Tiles that are like
a very strong tape
that is very easy to
install and very easy
to remove the carpet
tile as well. It has 0
calculated VOCs.

cove, casework and niche
applications

Materials & Finishes
Right now housing is spending $13.50- $17.00 per
square yard for broadloom and $23.75 -$32 per
square yards.
For carpeting we are going with carpet tile for it has
0 waste and very easy to install. It will be used in
The company that we are going with is Interface
FLOR. One of the designs is called A Peeling style
#12645 Color #102778 (Patina). (See Image 6)
Paint can be any
color but it has to
have 0 VOC in it. This is a plus because it can be
used when people are in the building. For Paint we
are going with the brand Scuffmaster, who’s paint
contributes toward
LEED credits and
complies with all
environmental
standards. We are
going to use the
Scrubtough style
which is ideal for
the kitchen area
and dorm rooms
for it repels scuffs
and stains and it
Image 6
can withstand regular cleaning and keeps
walls looking their best. It comes in different colors
to choose from.
We are also going
to use wall tile for a
backsplash in the
kitchen area and in
the bathroom. It is
going to be made
from recycled glass
tiles to give it a cool
effect. (See Image 7)
Lastly the table shows where each piece is manufactured. KI is out of Green Bay Wisconsin. University Housing uses many different residential
brands. This specific brand is Lazyboy and it is
manufactured out of Monroe Michigan.
Image 7
Furniture
The KI commercial furniture the University would
only have to buy one chair over the 10 years due
to the warranty that comes with buying the chair.
There would be a savings of $905.
The Residence Hall furniture currently is residential grade. It is very low grade furniture. In HKMC
the furniture is breaking apart from the amount of
residence using it. (See
Image 8)
The table below show
commercial vs residential furniture. (See table
5) I chose the KI Sela collection to use
in the residence halls. KI has a 10 year
warranty on the Sela collection where
the residential furniture that University
Housing buys does not have any warranty at all.
It also shows the estimated lifespan of
the commercial and residential chairs.
The KI chair has an expected life span
of over 10 years due to the warranty
KI has. The residential furniture at
UW-Stout Housing last anywhere
around 2.5-4 years before they have
to replace it.
Table 6 shows the life span and how much it will
cost over 10 years. This is an estimate of the life
span but it gives a good idea of cost over time. As
you can see University Housing has to buy new
furniture on average every 3 years. This adds up to
a total of $2,188 over 10 years.
Image 8
Furniture Type
Dun County Solid Waste Division has a disposal
cost which is $5 for a standard chair and $8 for a
couch. So to dispose of the four residential chairs
it would cost an extra $20. This would make the
grand total of $925 over the course of 10 years.
Also think about all of those chairs now in the landfill.
