Why is Utilities Infrastructure Important?

Actions #71 and #73 of Educating Illinois; and Goal 3,
Strategy 5 of Ed. Il. 2008-14:
Complete capital improvement projects that address health and
safety issues as well as adequate and efficient utility support.

Age and condition of Utilities and Mechanical Systems

Impact Cost and Scope of MP Facility Improvement
projects.
Availability, Location, and Capacity of Utilities impact
cost and feasibility of MP new construction sites.
Utility Planning must take place from the START.

Utility Considerations
Electrical Power:
Nearest power station? (Ameren IP)
High (12.5 KV) vs Low (4.16 KV) voltage ?
Emergency or Backup generation?
Potential for Alt. or Renewable Power?
Heat:
Steam or Hot water?
Proximity to Heating plant and tunnel system?
Capacity/Redundancy of the existing plant(s)?
Size for future growth/expansion (Piping).
Independent systems vs District Heating?
(impact on footprint, Mech. Rm. space)

Utility Considerations

Air Conditioning:

Water:

Proximity to a Chilled Water Plant?

Building demand? Is there existing capacity? Distribution?
Cooling Season?
Size for future growth/expansion?
Independent system? DX Units? (impact on footprint, Mech. Rm. space)

Access to Town of Normal Water system?

Storm water run off?
Risk of flooding or leaking?

Mechanical Systems: (Chillers, Cooling Towers, Boilers, Air Handlers)

Type, Size, Capacity?

Fuel Source? (Elec vs Gas)
Access for Maintenance and Replacement?
Location (Basement vs Rooftop?)
Exterior Presence?
Budget?
Sustainability issues?

Energy Services Contract (ESCO)

Why at ISU?

To do in a single year what has taken us 8!

Reduce Energy Consumption, Utility Costs, Compound effect of Savings
Facility infrastructure improvement and systems reliability
Accelerate the construction period
Engineer the highest priority projects with greatest payback
Legislative benefits (110 ILCS 62, Public University Energy Cons. Act)
Streamlined Procurement
Guaranteed source of funding
Single POC for all project functions
Comprehensive engineering and design approach

Impacts of Failure to Plan for Utilities

Feasibility of the Master Plan
Risk of lack of expansion capabilities
Lack of flexibility to accommodate Economic,
Natural disaster, other events.
Piecemeal Utilities are expensive, inefficient,
and will need re-design at every phase of the
Master Plan construction.
