Heating Plant Holiday Energy Savings Plans for Campus Buildings

As we have done in the past, the Heating Plant is planning to save additional heating energy this year over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday shutdowns.  Thanksgiving energy savings will begin on Wednesday evening 11/25 and end Monday morning 11/30 unless otherwise stated below.  The Christmas energy savings will begin on Wednesday evening 12/23 and end Monday morning 1/4 unless otherwise stated below.  In buildings that have remote control via our building automation system, we will turn down the temperature set points by approximately 7° F from the normal set point.  This will be done only if the outside temperatures are warm enough not to risk freeze problems.  Our control strategy will vary depending on the amount of remote control we have in the building, as well as the activities taking place in each building.  For some of the major buildings, the plan is not a change from our standard operating procedures*.  Below is a list of the buildings in which we plan to adjust temperatures during the holidays including the various exceptions. 

*For those buildings that already operate with temperature set-back year round, we will use our normal operating procedure; where we determine our set back schedule based on events scheduled in the buildings during the shutdown period.

Please direct all comments or concerns to Dan Kane at dmkane@ilstu.edu or 438-2083 / 438-5516 Heating Plant.
