an under-construction water plant<\/a> that will produce chilled and hot water to cool and dehumidify campus buildings, earned 麻豆原创 $200,000 of the rebate because of the chillers\u2019 high efficiency, said Curtis Wade, director of 麻豆原创 Utilities & Energy Services.<\/p>\nThe chillers will hold 4,000 tons \u2013 or 1 million gallons \u2013 of chilled water that will serve Research Building 1, when complete, and be added to an existing underground infrastructure that serves nearly 75 percent of campus buildings. Over the lifespan of District Energy Plant IV that\u2019s being built on the northeast side of campus, the university is estimated to save $121,000 annually in operation costs and resources because of its energy-efficient design.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project has been developed over three years and in many phases to ensure we meet our current and future energy demands in the most efficient way possible,\u201d said Wade. \u201cOur goal always is to ensure that energy at 麻豆原创 remains as affordable and reliable as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
The remaining $78,000 of the recent rebate is from automation controls installed in Partnership I and II, Student Health Services, Mathematical Sciences and Engineering II buildings. The controls use CO2 sensors that measure when more outside air is needed to balance the CO2 levels in the buildings. Vents open when more outside air needed, and are closed when there\u2019s enough. This reduces the demand on the equipment, which works harder to de-humidify the interior of buildings when vents are constantly open to let in outside air.<\/p>\n
Since 2010, 麻豆原创 has earned more than $1 million in rebates for energy-efficient measures.<\/p>\n
“We have a great partnership with the 麻豆原创,” said Sharon Arroyo, director of large-account management for Duke Energy Florida. “Energy efficiency is a great sustainability measure and 麻豆原创’s efforts are outstanding. We are pleased to present them with one of the largest rebates we’ve presented in recent years.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 麻豆原创 earned $278,000 in rebates recently from Duke Energy for new energy-efficient measures implemented this year.
