Facilities Services receives regional energy award
Sep 30, 2013
Facilities Services at Grand Valley was awarded the Region III
Corporate Energy Management Award for 2013 by the Association of
Energy Engineers.
Tim Thimmesch, associate vice president for Facilities Services,
and university engineer Terry Pahl accepted the award September 24 at
a ceremony in Washington D.C.
Thimmesch said the Energy Projects team has been meeting
regularly over the past few years to develop and install energy
conservation projects on campus. “Their energy management efforts have
resulted in nearly $2 million in annual utility savings,” Thimmesch
said.
Energy-saving projects include lighting scheduling, utility
infrastructure improvements and temperature setbacks, among others.
This is the latest recognition Grand Valley has received for its
energy management efforts. The team received the Energy Project of the
Year for Region III Award from AEE in 2011 and Creating
a Sustainable Future Together Award by Armstrong and Merlo
Energy in 2012.
