Does the institution use timers to regulate temperatures based on occupancy hours in at least one building?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the technology used:
UC Irvine uses a networked campus-wide building energy management system. Some buildings have Siemens’ Apogee® and Johnson Controls’ Metasys® systems, while laboratory buildings utilize Phoenix Controls lab air control systems. Space scheduling and run times are continually updated and evaluated by the energy management system shop according to class and event schedules. In addition to these systems Aircuity’s Optinet system is deployed in 11 lab buildings allowing for both indoor air quality control of air change rates as well as occupancy based control.
None
The percentage of building space (square footage) with timers for temperature control:
95
None

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UC Irvine not only makes use of scheduling software to control building run times but has adopted occupancy control of individual zones to eliminate wasteful energy use supplying conditioned air to unoccupied areas. With tight scheduling and varied work patterns that take place on a university campus UC Irvine utilizes push button over ride for off hour work in office areas to further reduce wasteful ventilation.
