Scheduling
Eddy Hall – Built 1881
Over 1700 pieces of HVAC equipment running on time schedule.
Weekly, we track scheduled hours and compare them to actual runtime. If there’s a delta, we investigate.
If you can’t shut the fans off, consider reducing the static pressure or slowing down the fan by 10-15% over night.
Henry Eddy – Math professor, Civil Engineer and dean of college of engineering. Eddy Hall is the oldest Building on campus.

Continuous Commissioning Keep fans running at or below scheduled hours.
Only get alerted for really important critical alarms.
Reduce fan speeds &/or widen setpoints for a few hours every night.
Run reports to collect high frequency non-critical alarms & plan to address a couple items per week.
Keep track of analog outputs that are often at 100% effort.
