University of Rochester - Electrification & Energy Conservation

The University of Rochester will pursue a project to switch the Central Utility Plant (CUP) chillers from steam to electric. The entire project will accomplish significant carbon reduction and reduce Genesee River aquatic impacts while providing increased chilled water capacity. The University was awarded funding by NYSERDA CICC in 2022 for initial milestones for electrical enabling, a cooling tower, and one electric chiller.  In addition to an expanded scope of chiller electrification, the University has identified a Fault Detection Diagnostics (FDD) system as a separate project.
