Does the institution use a centralized energy management system that allows it to track energy consumption and performance in multiple buildings in a central location?:
Yes

A brief description of the management system:

The Energy Management System (EMS) allows facilities managers to remotely control energy usage and preferences in multiple buildings. Through a computer or mobile device, they can check on the energy usage of the buildings and change temperatures and monitor energy activity. It will also alert managers if there is there is a HVAC load change or issue. General lighting areas such as hallways in main buildings are also on EMS. The EMS covers 95% of the buildings and the other 5% are freestanding small facilities with small A/C units.


The percentage of building space monitored with a centralized energy management system:
95

A description of what systems are shut down during unoccupied periods:

Night time HVAC Setback mode has been extended. Estimated savings between 3%-5% are being achieved by raising the temperature from 75°F to 80°F during night hours.
