  • Millersville University

    Project: Millersville University

    Project Scope & Size: For more than 15 years, NRG Controls has provided all of the University’s building automation needs. Almost every building on campus is managed by an NRG-engineered controls system. As the University continues to grow and expand and make renovations, NRG will continue to partner with the Facilities Department to ensure continuity of the hardware and software of the BAS. In addition, Millersville University requires strict sequences of operations for all the campus’ HVAC equipment to ensure that no energy is wasted while maintaining optimal space conditions for the education mission.

    Value Statement: Standardization of NRG Controls’ Building Automation Systems in recent years has reduced Millersville’s training costs, expedited response time when a service request is submitted, and has helped Millersville University contain and reduce operating costs, which in turn has helped to offset the rising cost of education.

  • Giant Center

    Project: Giant Center

    Project Scope & Size: NRG Controls designed and implemented a complete Web-based Building Automation/Energy Management System. The project included full BacNet integrations to both the Trane chillers as well as a BacNet integration with the Delta Control system for the facility’s ice making equipment. In addition, NRG provided both smoke evacuation and purge strategies to support the various events that the Giant Center hosts throughout the year.

    Value Statement: NRG Controls recognizes the potential huge loss in revenue to Hershey Entertainment if the conditioned space or ice systems were to malfunction due to a loss of the Building Automation System. To date, this has never been the case.

  • Case Study One

    Project: Milton Hershey School District

    Project Scope & Size: More than 250 buildings integrated into one building automation system that is accessible from the Web. Automation includes HVAC, street lighting control, greenhouse and underground aqua-fir monitoring and control.

    Value Statement: In a period of two years, NRG Controls saved the Milton Hershey School District more than $1 million in energy costs.
