- Recovered thermal energy is used to pretreat incoming fresh air.
- Variable frequency drives (VFD’s) are used extensively to manage air flow volume, keeping airflow and energy use to necessary minimums.
- Total energy recovery systems exhaust and pretreat ventilation air for the administration and library areas.
- Full DDC control that allows matching building demands and schedules to mechanical and electrical sub-systems.
- Water loop systems recover sensible energy for labs, classrooms and athletic spaces.
- Waste steam from the local electric plant preheats domestic water, hot water source, and condensate cooling.
- Water cooled centrifugal chillers, multi-cell cooling towers and VFD motor drives are used throughout applicable systems to attain further energy efficiency.
- The energy cost savings are about $125,000 per year, or around $0.50 per square foot.
