ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø'sÌýEnergy Conservation Practices

The ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø’s campus is actively controlled by a comprehensive centralized building monitoringÌýsystem (BMS). This BMS system allows for a sophisticated control of many of the largest pieces of equipment, lighting and HVAC systems operating throughout the campus buildings. Beyond the BMS, the preferred temperature control setpoints for the buildings during occupied periods at the university are 70°F heating and 74°F cooling. The University's staff sets back the temperatures and the airflows wherever possible.ÌýÌýÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø's unoccupied building temperature setpoints are 65°F heating and 78°F cooling.Ìý These unoccupied periods are determined by either an occupancy sensor or time of day schedule.
