Utility consumption at Evergreen Hall has been up to three times the amount of utilities used at the other three Residence Halls. The selected firm will be asked to evaluate opportunities for low cost energy efficiency improvements to control energy costs. The firm will evaluate efficiency and operations of HVAC systems, review set points, stat locations, space temperatures to assure proper calibration, functions of HVAC and VFDs and VAVs, and review lighting controls to achieve optimal lighting and minimize energy consumption. The goal of this energy commissioning project is to reduce energy consumption and identify life cycle costs.
Firms interested in providing such services should submit a team that is able to provide engineering services and be pre-qualified with the Illinois Capital Development Board.
