Yes
None
A brief description of the management system:
Penn uses an energy management system called ALC’s EnergyReports. With it, Penn’s Energy Team can compare energy consumption or demand over different periods with clear graphs and detailed data. This centralized energy management system provides building specific data to help reduce energy consumption and quickly identify irregular usage.
The Operations Control Center in Facilities and Real Estate Services controls and monitors utilities for the entire campus. From this centralized location, staff can regulate our utility distribution. The SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system monitors and controls critical equipment such as HVAC systems, chiller plants, electrical substations, lighting, and space conditions throughout the campus. The system uses an expert alarm system that will display a text message when conditions are not within their operating conditions. The Operations Control Center can then adjust the systems accordingly.
Members of the Penn Community can now see live electric usage for the campus, and by building, over a 13 month period
