A brief description of the management system:
UC Irvine uses a networked campus-wide building energy management system. Some buildings use Siemens’ Apogee® and Johnson Controls’ Metasys® systems, while the laboratory building utilize Phoenix Controls lab air control systems. Space scheduling and run times are continually updated and evaluated by the EMS 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 monitored with a centralized energy management system:
75

None
A description of what systems are shut down during unoccupied periods:
System shutdowns are dependent on the building type and space use. Classroom and educational facilities systems include supply and exhaust fan shutdown as well as district heating and cooling system valve closure. Buildings containing critical infrastructure or server rooms will command VAV boxes in zones where appropriate to close and the temperature dead band in those spaces to be reset to an unoccupied mode.
