A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:
The majority of campus is metered and monitored for abnormal energy and water use. In a monthly utility metering meeting, employees review water, electrical, and gas meter data, comparing it to the previous month, previous year, and the 4-year same month average. Annually utility data is uploaded to Energy Star to update the Energy Star score of energy and water usage of the building.
Utility usage for each utility (Electricity, Steam, Chilled Water, Natural Gas, and Water) has been baselined per degree day. Historically analytics have been performed to evaluate the usage per square foot and compare the current monthly usage to the buildings baseline, previous monthly, and four year average consumption. This data is also used to analyze the performance of each building’s year to year performance from the generation of annual building EUI reports. This allows the Energy Management team to set target EUI goals for under-performing buildings and track progress towards the goals. All utility meter data for buildings larger than 3,000 square feet is gathered at 10 minute intervals and stored for two years. This data allows us to see high resolution data as projects such as lighting or HVAC changes are made. It is also used to identify irregularities in load profiles and usage along with running equipment that should be shut down at night. This utility data, both live and historical data is shared with campus and particularly customers. Also, Skyspark analytics are being deployed to detect anomalies in operation of HVAC systems and energy performance.
