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.
