Eastern Kentucky University Partners with Siemens for Energy Savings

Eastern Kentucky University's utility costs have remained stable over the last two years due to the implementation five years ago of an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) with Siemens Building Technologies. Aiming to generate savings and address deferred maintenance needs, the $27 million contract included extensive infrastructure upgrades to HVAC, lighting, and water systems, as well as the integration of building automation technologies. The University has recently built two new facilities, the Center for the Performing Arts and the New Science Building, making the achievement of stable utility costs particularly significant.
