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 buildings utilizing energy management systems have individual controllers which are classified as "Web Servers." These Web Servers are internet gateways that allow users to access the EMS (energy management system) through the internet using a Username and Password from anywhere in the world. There are two computers, one for Steafa and one for Alerton, on campus that act as the respective servers.

This EMS is capable of engineering, programming and monitoring the expanded and existing BAS (Building Automation System). This provides local and remote access through a web-enabled system. It represents floor plans, mechanical systems and all equipment incorporated into the BAS graphically, both in status and configuration. In addition operators are able to command equipment or modify set-points and schedules, add trending or alarms to any hardware or software point, and make changes to other selected operational parameters in-line with the privileges of the active end-user from a graphic through the use of a mouse.
