The University is built on a district energy model, with one main heat plant, three combined heating/cooling plants, nine chiller plants, hundreds of miles of (steam, hot water, chilled water, potable water, sanitary, and stormwater) distribution, and an internal medium voltage electrical distribution grid anchored by three 35kV to 13kV substations. They collaborate with Facility Managers, Facility Coordinators, and maintenance, operations, instrumentation and control personnel, and they perform duties mostly independently to provide customer service and execute repairs and projects.
