Project Engineer
ABSTRACT:
A component of the Master Utility Plan and the university’s net zero carbon goals, Ecosystem recently completed a campus-wide project that lowered the operating temperature of the central heating plant and cascading heat networks. This was achieved through steam-to-hot water conversion and installation of efficient boilers and heat exchangers. The project leveraged the university’s facility maintenance budget and utility incentives to deliver significant energy and cost savings.
