This is every building
visionary goal 04: Monitor Building Performance Metrics The building features a significant amount of performance monitoring. Nearly every outlet can be measured. Real-time data is monitored and analyzed to improve building performance. This work is being done in partnership with the State of Iowa Department of Administrative Services and the Iowa Energy Center. The Energy Center will further use results to support various research projects. To conduct this monitoring, all outlets are designated as critical power, non-critical power, or task lighting. Open office and enclosed office outlets are tied to occupancy sensors that shut down all non-critical loads when not in use (everything except CPUs). Task lighting circuits are individually monitored as part of a larger daylighting study effort within the building to understand the extent of savings and total energy use assigned to artificial lighting.
