A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
Currently GSU monitors approximately 95% of the campus space for temperature and has occ/unocc schedules for the buildings. This is all done through a BAS.
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
N/A
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
Electronic Technology Occupation Sensor
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
Currently, GSU has a building automation system (BAS) that allows us to maintain a comfortable working environment. This system allows us to set occupancy schedules, run chiller plants at lower cost per ton of cooling, and more.
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
None
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
During winter break, GSU shuts down all buildings for three weeks to save energy. All HVAC and lights are turned off during this time with the exception of security lighting and lighting and HVAC in university housing.
