Great article on the #infrastructure enhancements Georgia Gwinnett College has been implementing over the past decade to make the campus more reliable and energy efficient. RMF Project Manager Vance Nall, PE, who is leading the infrastructure #engineering upgrades for the project, is cited: “GGC’s investment in central cooling systems provides significant returns in reduced operating and maintenance costs. In addition to the energy efficiency, a district chilled water system provides a higher level of redundancy and provides flexibility for easy incorporation of future advancements in refrigeration technology.”
Summer temperatures are continuing to soar, but the buildings at #GGC are staying comfortably cool thanks to a project that started 10 years ago. GGC launched the chiller project after conducting a study in 2015 to develop sustainable, energy efficient systems of cooling the entire campus. “The study determined a centralized chiller system would increase efficiency, reduce environmental impacts and reduce our electricity consumption by as much as 60%,” said Terry Schneider, GGC’s associate vice president of facilities and chief of police. “This system will ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is good for the environment.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/emM3xFXk #GeorgiaGwinnettCollege
