WSU Gets Funding for Cooling System Upgrade

摘要

Washington State University (WSU) in Pullman, Wash., has been awarded $1,412,261 in state grant funds to assist with energy- and cost-saving building improvement projects. With the new funding, WSU will upgrade the chilled-water cooling system at the Information Technology Building as well as provide a closed-vessel compost system at its compost facility. The IT building server rooms are critical to campus operations but are cooled by chiller units that are now more than 30 years old. The campus has a district chilled-water system that provides chilled water at a much lower cost and higher reliability. This project will upgrade the present IT building connection to the district chilled-water system.
