This episode dives into how Weber State University built a high-impact energy management program that’s already delivering millions in annual savings while pushing toward full electrification and carbon neutrality. Justin Owen breaks down how much of that progress comes not from new equipment, but from smarter HVAC sequences, optimization, and advanced supervisory control. The conversation unpacks real examples—from dramatic EUI reductions to campus-wide control strategies and battery integration. They also reveal how a self-funding model fuels continuous upgrades by reinvesting energy savings into new projects. It’s a practical blueprint for energy managers trying to hit aggressive sustainability goals without unlimited budgets.
