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?:
A brief description of the management system:
The University does use a BMS for tracking most of the utilities with regards to utility consumption. Some buildings on some campuses still have manual meters for electricity. Natural gas, water and steam for the most part are metered and either through the BMS or manual reads are compiled into spreadsheets for a variety of reasons (tracking, monitoring, projections, estimates, etc.).
The percentage of building space monitored with a centralized energy management system:
A description of what systems are shut down during unoccupied periods:
Both heating and cooling systems are scaled back in unoccupied periods. The university makes use of infrared and motion occupancy sensors to control lights and more importants the volume of conditioned air that is distributed to rooms.
