Energy Management and Controls Systems (EMCS)
   


Energy Management and Controls systems are one of the areas that few individuals recognize and one that we all take for granted. These specialized individual provide the support to control the equipment in the Central Utility Plant and on campus; they also provide the controls for the steam and chilled water systems that maintain a controlled comfortable environment for students, faculty and staff. A complex network of computerized controls is used to accomplish this task.
