Construction Timeline:September 2023 – April 2024
Impacted Facilities:Arrupe Hall, Reiss Hall
Impacted Systems:Air conditioning, domestic hot water
Arrupe Hall will be the location for Georgetown''s first heat recovery chiller, the "workhorse" in the effort to reduce building energy use. It does this by efficiently creating chilled water for air conditioning, and then sending the byproduct heat into the hot water system. This waste heat is typically vented into the atmosphere via cooling towers, but Georgetown will make use of it to heat its residential facilities, reducing the building''s energy consumption by over 40%. It will also support the Henle Redevelopment project''s HVAC needs. Reiss will be disconnected from steam and the heat will be provided via hot water from Arrupe. Controls of the HVAC systems will also be upgraded, which will improve comfort while generating savings.
Expected Construction ImpactsHot water piping will be installed between September 2023 and February 2024. The most disruptive construction work – including installation of new equipment and a temporary domestic hot water outage – will take place mid-October.
Any impacts to the building''s HVAC will be communicated through PFM liaisons.
Construction Timeline:December 2023 – June 2024
Impacted Facilities:New Research Building, Basic Science Building
Impacted Systems:Air conditioning and heating, ventilation, domestic hot water
Expected Construction ImpactsControls on the existing VAV boxes will be upgraded, while new occupancy sensors will be installed in every room of the New Research Building between November 2023 and April 2024. Please reach out to your facilities contacts to learn more – and possibly adjust the timing.
On the Basic Science Building''s First Floor, the installation and commissioning of the Smart Hoods will happen between November 2023 and February 2024. The most disruptive construction work will be taking place between November and December 2023. Please reach out to your facilities contacts to learn more – and possibly adjust the timing.
In Preclinical Science Building and Med-Dent, new VAV boxes and occupancy sensors will be installed during the Summer 2024, while occupancy is reduced.
Installation of the interconnecting piping and the heat recovery chiller will start during the fall 2024.
Any ''noisy'' work will be scheduled in advance with building occupants with the intent to minimize the impact to normal Medical Center operations.
Construction Timeline:Completion November 2023
Impacted Facilities:Darnall Hall, St. Mary''s Hall
Darnall Hall had its steam heating system replaced with a high-efficiency hot water system in summer 2023. Both Darnall Hall and St. Mary''s Hall have received new heat exchangers, hot water piping and controls, which will help reduce energy consumption by more than 40%. Smart Hoods will be installed in Epicurean to adapt the airflow to the kitchen''s needs.
ENGIE and Georgetown University in Washington DC, USA announced today that they have entered into a comprehensive energy agreement to address sustainability and energy conservation through ENGIE''s management of the university''s utility system. This strategic alignment will help the university achieve its ambitious sustainability goals, positively impacting students, faculty and the community.
Georgetown University''s main campus is located in the historic Georgetown neighborhood of Washington DC. It covers more than100 acres and houses approximately 60 main buildings and has 19,000 students, and 6,200 employees, including 2,200 faculty. Its campus also includes MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
During the term of the agreement, ENGIE will assume responsibility for the enhancement, operation and upkeep of the electrical, heating and cooling and domestic water systems. Georgetown will retain ownership of its facilities and control over decisions related to capital improvements. Through capital improvement and energy conservation programs, the partnership will generate operational efficiencies, position Georgetown to reduce its energy use intensity by at least 35 percent by 2030 and create additional resources that will enable the University to deepen its focus on fostering a leading academic community in a sustainable way.
"ENGIE is proud to become Georgetown University''s energy partner to achieve its sustainability goals" said Cécile Prévieu, Executive Vice President in charge of Client Solutions at ENGIE. "Innovative solutions will be developed through our collaborative program with the campus community and will help us to operate, maintain, and improve campus utility services."
