HEAPY completed a Campus Wide Facility Condition Assessment and Energy Master Plan, that identified deferred maintenance, critical end-of-life system replacements, and energy conservation measures. As a result of the assessment, HEAPY and facilities staff created a short-term and long-term campus prioritization of projects. The first project to enhance facility operations and optimize energy performance, HEAPY and HEAPY Solutions completed a campus-wide Retro-Commissioning project in parallel with a turn-key 14-building Digital Controls Upgrade resulting in the creation of a new Supervisory Campus Control System, DDC component fixes and replacements, and upgraded energy efficient sequences of operation.

LED lighting and lighting controls were installed in 8 of the facilities replacing failing T-12 and T-8 lighting. The new lighting systems enhanced the user experience, provided enhanced control, and will save over 850,000 kWh/year in electricity consumption.

Critical cooling systems in the Science Center and Library were investigated, resulting in a chiller replacement design, rebuild, and commissioning of the systems expanding the equipment life and validating new system efficiencies. To continue the investment in maintaining a resilient and efficient campus, a cloud-based energy and equipment energy monitoring system was installed. The facilities management team, paired with HEAPY’s commissioning and energy engineers are providing Intelligent Building Management to ensuring energy savings year over year.
