Energy Management
A Message from the Energy Programs Manager
The department has University-wide responsibility for minimizing
energy use and for implementing the energy management program. The
program seeks to both achieve energy savings, and minimize the
environmental impact of providing services.
The energy management program at the University is a
comprehensive program that considers all opportunities for achieving
energy savings including replacing building chillers and boilers
with central plant connections, the design and construction of
energy conservation measures, the implementation of energy saving
operation and maintenance procedures, the utilization of an
extensive university-wide building energy management system, and a
university-wide commitment to modifying local behavior to decrease
energy consumption.
