ABSTRACT

CONFRONTED WITH INCREASING COST control pressure in higher education today, the facility managers have exhausted “low-hanging fruits” type of energy conservation measures like lighting retrofits, thermal insulation, constant volume/speed systems to variable volume/drive conversion, etc. So when management asks for more contribution from your operation, where do you go for answers? The authors have worked with various universities and colleges and have successfully managed both the supply-side and the demand-side in an integrated fashion and identified what a campus-wide metering and measurement system can do to effect significant savings. This chapter translates that experience into a general program that can benefit any large facility.
