EMC^2 Proposal, F&S Steam Reduction, Virtualization
Associated Project(s):
Staff further developed the Energy Management and Control Center (EMC^2) proposal for Chancellor Wise to share with potential donors/partners. This process included preliminary documentation of the existing energy distribution and tracking computer programs.
F&S staff started discussions about a steam reduction project at the Main Library, which includes repairing steam traps, replacing Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV), and repairing or replacing other valves.
F&S is moving towards virtualization for their IT servers. That will let F&S move to a single server, which will reduce the cooling load and energy demand. This project can be replicated in other departments for additional energy savings.
