1. New Siemens control systems previously installed in Rusteberg and M2 buildings have been programmed and are in full operation.
2. New Siemens control system was installed, programmed and is operational for the FBMC facility.
3. Outside lighting was added to our Siemens control system for one of our buildings
4. Programmable thermostats continue to be a routine replacement for manual thermostats where an Energy Management System is not available. Two buildings received programmable thermostats as upgraded HVAC controls.
5. Replaced four outdated and inefficient HVAC units throughout campus with new energy efficient systems.
6. Replacement of inefficient light fixtures with new energy saving 2 x 4 lay-ins is a standard practice in all in-house campus remodels. Two projects are currently under way.
7. Over 120 hallway lights were upgraded to compact fluorescents in the ITEC campus.
8. Replacement of a 20+ year old chiller and inefficient gas boiler in our main campus thermal plant is in progress. Project is underway.
9. ITEC Campus’s thermal plant is in the process of a complete upgrade with replacement of 30+ year old chillers cooling towers.
10. Preventive Maintenance program is in the process of being automated via our new computerized maintenance management system. PM program is currently completed through manual logs. New system will ensure that PM’s are completed on time and schedule resulting in higher unit efficiency and operation.
11. EMS building programmer will continue to be requested for expanded Energy Management System. This will allow full control and use of system in conjunction with room scheduling. This request is pending review and funding.
12. Energy awareness reminders are periodically placed and updated in the division web site.
13. Energy reducing devices are being looked into as a possible energy saving initiative for all vending machines on campus.

1. Upgraded 10 out dated and inefficient AC condensing units
2. Replaced 140 inefficient light fixtures
3. Approval received for future replacement of 2 – 30 year 500 ton chillers
4. New request (pending review) – building programmer for campus AC controls
5. New request (pending review) – replacement of existing 20 year old chillers with a new and more efficient model

1. A replacement of manual thermostats with programmable thermostats is in progress. About 10% have been replaced to date.
2. Eight outdated and inefficient condensing units were replaced throughout campus.
3. Replaced 29 inefficient light fixtures with new 2 x 4 lay-ins.
4. New chiller line is being installed to eliminate bottleneck that currently exists and prevents sufficient flow to selected buildings.
5. The replacement of two outdated 30-year-old chillers is under way.
6. Pending purchase of three new electric utility carts for Plant technicians.

1. New Siemens control systems are scheduled to be installed in two campus buildings, resulting in the removal of manual thermostats controls.
2. Chilled water bottleneck was corrected on existing Thermal Plant Chiller lines. This allowed better flow in the system by bypassing the existing constricted piping.
3. Programmable Thermostats continue to be a routine replacement for manual thermostats where an Energy Management System is not available.
4. Lowered temperature set points in the laboratories during occupied mode, thus reducing load since buildings are on a preheat system.
5. Installed two new chilled water units; replacing three DX split systems in our M2 building and Library server room.
6. Replacement of inefficient light fixtures with new energy efficient 2 x 4 lay-ins is a standard practice in all in-house campus remodels.
7. Storage water heater replaced in Gorgas Hall with new instant water heater.
8. Preventive Maintenance program is in the process of being automated via our new computerized maintenance management system. PM program is currently completed through manual logs. New system will ensure that PM’s are completed on time and schedule resulting in higher unit efficiency and operation.
9. EMS building programmer was requested for expanded Energy Management System. This will allow full control and use of system in conjunction with room scheduling. This request is pending review and funding and will continue to be requested.
10. Main campus thermal plant 20+ year old chiller and inefficient gas boiler are scheduled for replacement with new energy efficient models this fiscal year.
11. Energy awareness reminders are in periodically placed in the division web site.
12. Three new electric utility carts purchased for Plant technicians. Electric utility carts are primary choice for in-campus transportation, reducing heavy consumption of gas.
