OUR MISSION
The Energy Management Office exists to reduce energy costs and promote maximum energy-efficiency at the University of Utah. To that end we implement and manage a variety of projects to improve conservation and support sustainability - from lighting retrofits to HVAC upgrades. We are also a resource to University departments and auxiliaries wishing to implement similar initiatives in their own spaces, and can help with design assistance as well as with utility incentives and rebate programs.BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE
The University of Utah has exceeded its goal of reducing energy by 20% by 2020 as part of the United States Department of Energy's "Better Buildings Challenge." The University accomplished energy savings of 25% across 17 million square feet of building space since 2008 (the base year for the Better Buildings Challenge commitment).
