The Ohio State University has a vision of becoming a global leader in sustainable campuses. Facilities Operations and Development (FOD) is committed to leading this vision in all areas of university operations, including responsible resource use and energy management. Because energy management is a critical component of sustainability, FOD will continue to promote and demonstrate institutional practices that improve energy management and conservation.

Advancing this strategy, the university has recently contracted to install approximately $7.1 million in energy efficiency and conservation infrastructure upgrades in the following campus buildings:

  *   Physics Research Building (PRB)
  *   Biomedical Research Tower (BRT)
  *   Scott Laboratory
  *   Recreation and Physical Activity Center (RPAC)
  *   Veterinary Medical Center

To help make this project possible, the Air Quality Development Authority<http://ohioairquality.org> (OAQDA) approved $7.1 million in financing to Ohio State from the Qualified Energy Conservation Bond<http://www.ohioairquality.org/oaqda/qecb.asp> program (QECB). Construction contracts have been finalized, and the university is preparing to proceed with the initial phase of the project.

This energy efficiency and conservation infrastructure upgrade project will enable the university to realize significant energy and financial savings over a 10-year period, once the project ends in July 2015.

The project is scheduled to begin at the end of March or beginning of April 2013. Stakeholders will be notified in advance of impacts so they may plan accordingly. Information sessions will be held before construction begins and will provide an overview of energy conservation measures taking place in each building and the benefits of the measures.

Additional information can be found on the energy conservation web page<http://go.osu.edu/ecp>.
