A brief description of the technology used:
George Mason University installed a comprehensive, integrated facility energy management system utilizing an Ethernet based system to link each facility to the energy management office. This program generated significant savings through improved monitoring and control capability for key systems: heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting. Verification of proper temperature, setpoints, setback or shutdown of systems, monitoring of energy usage real-time, and detection of degraded energy efficiency would all contribute to more efficient operation and expected savings.
