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:

We have a centralized energy management system that rivals any other higher education institution in the USA. It monitors over 600,000 points and has programming specifically designed to minimize energy usage.

We have standardized on the Siemens Apogee platform. The first BAS panels were installed over 25 years ago, reflecting Florida State's long history of energy conservation.

We have a 24 hour manned control room that monitors chiller and boiler efficiency. In addition, cameras are integrated into the control system for operator verification of tennis court lighting.

The system is scheduled to shut down the HVAC system in most buildings after hours unless a special event is planned in advance.
