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?:
A brief description of the management system:
Over fifteen buildings are now tracking electricity use through a program that UMD Building Systems is installing (Square D). This electricity information is available to Building Systems staff, along with UMD Sustainability Office staff. Although there are kinks to work out in the system, we are already seeing benefits of monitoring electricity use to manage a building. For example: The Bagley Classroom was using more energy than architect models predicted, so the system was used to watch where electricity use was highest. This led Building Systems Staff to find and fix problems to reduce electricity use,)
