Energy Conservation in Facilities

With the recently implemented Energy Usage Policy at UNC, energy conservation has taken a front seat in the Facilities Services Department. The September edition of the Facilities Services News is now available online, and includes information on the energy-saving performance contracting initiative that is being undertaken by the University, and the latest energy conservation update.

Did you know that energy conservation practices have now been installed in 54 buildings. These buildings have already shown reductions in energy use. For example, cooling requirements decreased by 28% in buildings scheduled for setbacks during unoccupied periods, resulting in more than $100,000 of savings in just 10 weeks.
