Update on Campus Lighting Upgrades as part of the ESCO Project

TU is in the midst of an $8 million project to increase the energy efficiency of lighting systems across campus. The Energy Services Contractor (ESCO) project will achieve a 10% reduction in annual campus carbon emissions and a $1 million annual reduction in energy cost savings through the installation of more than 34,000 new and retrofit light fixtures and 9,300 occupancy sensors in campus buildings.

To date, upgrades have been completed in the following buildings:
General Services
Lecture Hall
Glen Esk
Van Bokkelen
Glen Towers A, B, C and D

The next buildings to receive upgrades will be:
Prettyman Hall
Scarborough Hall
Union Garage
Towsontown Garage
Glen Garage

The work will require the project team to work in some offices, residence halls, classrooms, conference rooms, and other internal and external areas of campus. The team will contact building coordinators and occupants in advance of the work in order to provide additional direction on the timing of the renovations and any necessary building preparations.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to make the campus a more efficient environment. For more information on the project, including a timeline of the upgrades, go to {http://www.towson.edu/esco}.
