Services

We provide strategic campus planning and programming services for existing and future facilities. Our team determines the most effective approach (i.e. renovation, adaptive reuse, building addition, new construction, or a combination) to meet space needs. We also develop the scope, schedule, and budget for all capital projects and secure the approvals necessary to initiate projects at Yale. Additionally, we manage systems that track the University’s space assets for the athletic, central, and west campuses.

We implement all construction projects at Yale, from design through construction to occupancy. We work with external architectural consultants, engineering design consultants, and construction contractors to maintain the scope, schedule, and budget for a variety of renovations and new construction projects.

Campus Utilities

We manage all aspects of the generation, distribution, and metering of energy for all Yale campuses, including the Central Power Plant (CPP), Sterling Power Plant (SPP), West Campus Power Plant (WCPP), and Central Campus Chiller Plant (CCCP). These plants generate and/or distribute steam for heating, chilled water for air conditioning, and electric power to buildings through underground distribution systems.

We ensure that the University is operating at the correct heating, cooling, and lighting levels, while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy Management

We produce thermal energy for most buildings in the central and science areas of Yale’s campus through the Central Power Plant. The Sterling Power Plant serves the School of Medicine area and Yale New Haven Hospital.

♦  Learn more about Yale’s committment to clean energy.

As part of this process, we identify optimum energy use through direct digital control systems in individual buildings, which are monitored by a central building utilities metering system.

♦  Discover energy usage for specific buildings at Yale.
♦  Stay informed about utility shutdowns.

We also establish Yale’s standards for space heating and cooling, which are defined below.
