A brief description of the technology used:
The University has a Central Building Automation System (CBAS) which provides the ability to create discrete building and system operating schedules to reduce energy consumption. The CBAS system is implemented across over 87% of the campus. This system is used to match the operation of a facility’s HVAC systems with its occupancy patterns. Discrete scheduling is performed in all spaces where possible. Additionally, in newly constructed or renovated spaces occupancy sensors are employed to enhance energy conservation of both the lighting and HVAC systems by setting back unoccupied spaces. Additional strategies including discharge reset, CO2 control and a zero dead band control of space temperatures between 70 and 75 degrees F is managed by this system.
A single system is installed with a single front end which is under the purview of the Utilities Department. This Invensys system provides energy managers with the ability to tighten fan system controls. Building Managers work with our energy managers to adjust schedules for special events rather than a general expanding of schedules to cover a wide array of events.
