UH Receives Award From CenterPoint Energy for Efficiency Improvements
The University of Houston received a
special plaque from CenterPoint
Energy for successfully implementing
energy efficient measures as a
result of participation in the 2009
Commercial Retro-Commissioning
Program. Under the direction of
Sameer Kapileshwari, director of
Utilities and Technical Systems, the
Energy Management & Environmental
Controls group has implemented
suggested improvements for the last
five years and has
retro-commissioned 11 campus
buildings. Past successful efforts
by this group are due to their
ability to manage many projects
in-house. They have met and, in most
cases, exceeded CenterPoint’s energy
savings requirement. UH is the first
and only customer in CenterPoint’s
service territory to receive this
recognition thus far. Their
execution of energy improvements has
saved the university approximately
$1 million dollars annually in
utility expenses.
