Energy & Utility Services
Through energy savings, Facilities Management built its first chilled water central plant with a thermal energy storage unit. The plant provides chilled water to cool 18 major buildings in the core of the campus. The central plant reliably and efficiently produces chilled water, reduces noise pollution in each connected building, lowers electrical consumption by 18 percent by operating during off-peak hours.
Additionally, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning and lighting systems in several major buildings and outside areas were retrofitted to provide increased comfort and improved lighting while also reducing energy consumption.
