Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ has recently partnered with the\u00a0Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center<\/a>\u00a0(AERTC) that is being established at Stony Brook University. AERTC\u2019s mission is innovative energy research, education, and technology deployment with a focus on efficiency, conservation, renewable energy, and nanotechnology applications to create novel sources of energy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In an effort to reduce energy use and alleviate the demand on the Long Island power grid, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ entered into a partnership with\u00a0EnerNOC<\/a>, a leading developer and provider of clean and intelligent power solutions to commercial, institutional, and industrial customers.<\/p>\n

In the first phase, EnerNOC I, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ reduced electrical usage on campus through energy-saving measures. As a result, EnerNOC was able to redirect up to 400 kilowatts of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­\u2019s normal energy consumption and provide it to other customers, alleviating some of the burden on the Long Island power grid.<\/p>\n

In EnerNOC II, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ is negotiating an agreement to further reduce our energy consumption on high-demand days. Under this agreement, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ must purchase a generator to provide power for the Ruth S. Harley University Center and Hagedorn Hall of Enterprise in the event of a power outage. While the potential savings is less than the initial investment, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ is taking this important step to be a good citizen as well as to provide a back-up for vital campus operations in case of an extended power outage.<\/p>\n

Heating System<\/h2>\n

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ upgraded its campus heating system in 2005 by replacing all underground pipes with new high-efficiency piping, and is presently installing a new heating control system to further improve the operating efficiency of the boilers. These improvements resulted in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­\u2019s energy consumption dropping from 129,637btu\/gsf in 2003 to 120,897btu\/gsf in 2006, even with the increase of a new building, longer service hours, more events on campus, and more students, faculty, and staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
