With thousands of students, faculty, and staff in a diverse range of facilities, universities have complex power requirements. When making building design decisions, it is important to combine technology, energy consumption behaviors, life-cycle cost as well as taking into account the “ecological footprint” of campus facilities. You must control all energy costs and avoid disruptions that could result in lost data, delayed research, and reduced availability of services.
- Combine data from various utilities — electricity, gas, water, steam, condensate, and air
- Check utility bill accuracy — pay only for what you use
- Track billing variables — load profile, peak demand, and time-of-day usage
- Shed loads or start generators before reaching demand thresholds
- Manage multiple energy supply contracts
- Analyze "what-if" scenarios
- Utilize curtailment or reduced demand programs
