New Construction Opportunities

• The construction of the Lyet wing and the renovation of Esbenshade incorporated state of the art conservation technologies including:
• High efficiency motors
• T8 & T5 lighting
• Occupancy sensors
• High efficiency HVAC systems
• Heat wheels to recover BTUs from the 100% exhaust air
• High R value insulation
• Low E window glass
• Laminar flow hoods
• Air filtration systems for select uses to reduce exhaust air needed
• Variable volume air handling systems
• DDC BAS
• CO2 make up air control
• As we design renovations to other buildings and new construction these technologies will be incorporated into the design and evolving conservation technologies will be evaluated and included as appropriate. For example:
• Toilets with dual-flush operators, could be installed in residence halls to increase water efficiency.
• There is potential to reuse grey water and/or rainwater for non-potable/sewage conveyance.
• We are actively investigating the adaptive reuse of existing structures and doing comprehensive studies to maximize the use of existing spaces/structures on campus and minimize additional building footprint to the campus.
