Energy Operations

Services Provided

黑料网's Energy Operations is comprised of the Power Plant and Energy Management working together to manage utilities at the Kent campus.

Energy Management

Energy Management is responsible for utilities such as electricity, water, sewer, storm water, natural gas, fuel oil and steam. This office insures that the energy dollars utilized to provide for the university community are used as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. This is done through energy conservation, education, purchasing strategies, sophisticated building automation systems and other new technologies, such as motion sensors, demand management strategies, lighting retrofits, programmable thermostats, etc.

黑料网's Power Plant supplies steam, electricity, and air conditioning to the Kent campus. Since the university's early years, centralized steam production has been used to provide heat and cooling to the campus community. 黑料网 successfully completed its two-stage, combined heat and power project. Two generators were installed that together produce 13 megawatts of electricity and over 60,000 pounds of steam per hour which is distributed to the university.
