CaseInPoint Web-based tools helped the facilities team at this university manage campus buildings, improve HVAC efficiency, and save energy, while keeping operating costs in line. Welcome to the greener side of the fence. It’s obvious that Carlyle compressors are green, but did you know Carlyle can help you be green in more ways than one? Carlyle compressors have an average life span of 9.9 years, nearly double that of the competition’s life span of 5.2 years. That reliability translates to a $15,000 savings per store in critical downtime, repair and replacement costs for you. Also, a more reliable compressor means less scrap waste going into the environment. And for low temperature applications Carlyle offers our Compound Cooling compressor, the most energy efficient compressor in the industry. So why not consider the option that allows you to save time, money and the environment? There’s never been a better time to go green. For more information regarding Carlyle’s reliability data and the cost savings per store, visit www.CarlyleCompressor.com. ments of its growing student base has kept the physical plant department on its toes. The more than 30 technicians and engineers on staff for years have prided themselves on their extensive technical expertise, keeping up with the rapid campus expansion, as well as managing routine maintenance issues that arise with minimal outside assistance. This tradition of self-reliance is what sets the school’s physical plant staff apart from many others, according to Wayne Jackson, automation lead for the university. “As a university, we undertook the initiative a number of years ago to become more self-sufﬁcient to help keep operating costs in line,” Jackson said. While Jackson and his team have performed the bulk of infrastructure and maintenance work over the years, they’ve partnered with Honeywell — the university’s building automation provider — to provide a helping hand when needed. Today, some of that assistance comes electronically via Honeywell Service Online (HSO), a suite of Web-based tools, information and system support that complements Honeywell service agreements. SELF-RELIANCE SUPPORT HSO provides real-time information about Honeywell systems and equipment, offering greater control and insight into building operations and enabling facility managers to maximize system uptime and occupant comfort. “We’ve found HSO to be the perfect complement to our internal knowledge base,” said Jackson. “The online tools give our team the ability to access technical information, streamline parts ordering and ensure systems are up-to-date.” Since 1987, the university has used Honeywell equipment to manage the campus infrastructure, starting with a migration from pneumatic controls to Honeywell Excel Plus DDCs, which dramatically improved the school’s HVAC efﬁciency and energy management. During that time, the university also installed a Honeywell FS90 ﬁre alarm control panel. In the late ’90s, the university began upgrading its HVAC control system to the Honeywell Excel 5000 product line. And in 2004, it installed Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI) to seamlessly manage all of the campus’ building systems through a single front end. With a wide array of Honeywell equipment in place, HSO has played a key role in helping Jackson and his team maintain their D-IY ways. The automated Software Update Service (SUS), a ﬁrst for the building automation industry, has been particularly effective.
