UC Davis
Selects Cogent Energy as its Campus-wide Monitoring
Based Commissioning Provider |
|
 |
| UC Davis has selected Cogent Energy as
the campus MBCx provider to the University of California
at Davis under the UC/ CSU/IOU Partnership Program.
Under a three-year contract, Cogent Energy is expected
to perform MBCx projects for over a dozen campus
buildings under the 2006-2008 Energy Partnership
Program. Cogent Energy recently performed a campus MBCx
benchmarking study where we prioritized the top 20
buildings for MBCx and retrofit potential. |
| We have also performed a campus-wide
fume hood study and several building-specific
engineering studies in support of the campus’s MBCx and retrofit goals. As a result of these
efforts UC Davis is implementing ten monitoring based
commissioning projects consisting of 1,200,000 sq. ft.
The University is also planning to implement retrofit
projects totaling $1,400,000. |
