Overview: The Facilities Services Department is actively engaged in and encourages energy conservation of all types-- water, electricity, steam, and natural gas. Examples of Facilities Services programs in the area of energy conservation include: expansion of the computer-based energy management system, retrofitting of existing lighting with energy efficient bulbs and ballasts, maintenance of equipment in proper working repair, and preventive maintenance to decrease leaks in pipes. The Department of Facilities Services is available to assist any unit interested in learning about possible energy conservation measures which can be taken by members of the University community.
Report Energy Leakage or Unnecessary Usage: Preventive Maintenance also serves to receive reports of energy leakage or unnecessary usage. All calls to Preventative Maintenance are investigated promptly as part of the overall energy savings and cost containment program.
