Months before ground was broken for Fairfield University's ambitious campus development plan, the UI Electric Solutions and Account Management team was on hand, providing technical assistance on measures the university could take for maximum energy conservation. The school's new central 2,000-ton chiller plant is a prime example. Also, the Village dormitory project, the new Alumni House and an addition to the Nyselius Library will incorporate high-efficiency building envelopes and lighting, as will the Science and Campus Centers still in the design stage. Our UI advisors are working directly with our project designers to make sure we meet UI standards. UI underwrites these grants t0 promote and facilitate energy-efficient design of new construction, renovation or retrofit projects.
Payments go directly to the architect designing the building or engineer performing the study.
As in Energy Blueprint, the grant is paid directly to the investigating engineer. If they build more energy efficiency into their projects, they will receive greater financial incentives and realize greater long-term energy savings. Expect a new look for the summer issue of EnerNet Business News . We've sold off our power plants and are no longer a power generator. Nutcher emphasized this change will not affect the high-quality service UI provides commercial and industrial customers.
