This webinar demystifies utility master planning and targets the needs of campus engineers, utility directors, and planners and technical consultants.
We discuss why and when a utility master plan is needed, and walk you through the steps for creating an effective plan from the initial study through implementation over the years to come. We also provide illustrative case studies and examples.
A well developed utility master plan is an indispensable asset for campus energy professionals. It will serve as a long-term guide to satisfying growing demands for heating, cooling and power, meeting increasingly restrictive environmental impact requirements and ramping up resiliency--while facing the universal challenge of a limited budget. Without a master plan, the campus is flying blind. Each rushed decision impacts the next and can lead to problems with cascading effects.
If you are involved in the installation or upgrading of a campus central plant or considering bringing your isolated building systems together, we urge you to listen to the recording and review the presentation given by Blake Ellis and Jon Schwartz in this FREE webinar.
