Summary

The University of Texas at Austin’s (UT Austin) Carl J. Eckhardt Heating and Power Complex provides a campus of 50,000 students and 20,000 faculty and staff with efficient heating, cooling and electricity. UT Austin, one of the largest public universities in the U.S., has added 5 million square feet of building space over the past 15 years and has grown from 9 million square feet of building space to 17 million square feet since 1977. The university’s highly efficient District Energy & CHP plant has doubled the amount of power it produces to keep up with this campus growth yet the plant uses the same amount of fuel today as it did in 1977.
