Energy

Overall, UGA is using 15.64% less energy per square foot in FY14 than in 2007. Energy upgrades have been
implemented in over 50% of existing buildings on UGA’s main campus and construction of new buildings and major
renovations target energy use reductions of 20% beyond code compliance. Centralized utility infrastructure systems,
including steam and chilled water loops, are continually expanded to heat and cool campus buildings efficiently.
In FY15, District Energy Plant #1 will be expanded to serve 4 additional buildings and replace 8 aging chillers,
the coal-fired boiler will be replaced with a highly efficient electrode boiler and a pilot Guaranteed Energy Savings
Performance Contract will install efficiency upgrades in several buildings on UGA’s East Campus.
