"But in order to save more, weE
are finding that we have to
spend more," Wentdel says, in
particular reference to the new,
central computer control sys-
tem.
FEASIBILI TYstu-,
dies suggested the wisdom of
implementing a competer sys-
tem to monitor and regulate
heating, cooling and ventilat-
ing across the camps.
The first phase of this pro-
gram commenced in September
with seven buildings connected
to the central conitori!rig com-
puter. These buildings are the
Power Center, Racklyam, Nat-
ural Science Museum, Physics
and Astronomy Bldg.., MLB,
Administration Services and
Dental - Kellog. The second
phase will be completed within
the next four months an~d will
add the Institute of Surey Re-
search, the Student Activities
Bldg., Administrative offices
and East Engineering.{
Eventualy a third and fourth
phase will extend this system to
classroom and office buildings
with the highest potential for
saving money. Wendel predicts
that the return on the invest-
ment of this $1 million proiect
will be realized in less than five
years.
In collaboration with a. con-
sulting firm, however, the Uni-
versity is also concentrating on
the development of long-range
strategies for the purchase of
standard and alternative ener-
gy means. Some of the long-
term energy objectives incide:
" The incorporation of new
design standards in the con-
struction and renovation of cam-
pus buildings. Such guidelines
prescribe architectural me'thods
to maximize energy efficiency;
* Industrial engineering stu-
dents are testing the applisabil-
fly of a ventilation system that
is capable of recycling either
heated or cooled air. A ocon-
stant and comfortable tenyper-
ature could thus be maintated
at a lowered expense:
0 Solar energy is also being
considered. The University is
one of the many colleges bid-
ding for a federally - funded so-
lar energy research institute.
0 Nuclear power may also be
a potential source for the Uni-
versity. However, due to the
high cost and threats to the en-
vironment, Wendel believes that
"nuclear energy is not a direct
answer for the University."
In the meantime, utility and
uas costs continue to skyrocket.
Edison experts warned of a 15
per cent rate hike in 1975, while
in fact utility rates for that year
increased by 25 per cent. Con-
solidated Gas snnkesmen told
University officials that gas
costs would rise by 25 per cent
last year. They too, underesti-
mated costs by 10 percentage
points.
If, as in recent years, the
state underfunds utility expen-
ditures, tuition rates will reflect
soaring energy costs, Wendel
says.
