As part of the energy services focus, existing buildings are re-commissioned to optimize building performance and energy conservation. This service provides comfortable environments for our customers and reduces energy consumption. This work has already demonstrated significant energy savings as measured by building utility metering systems.
The State of New Mexico excavation law requirements pertaining to the One-Call system are administered by this division. Through this effort, campus utilities are located and marked in response to contractor requests. This important task assists in keeping construction sites safer and provides for the safekeeping of the UNM utilities systems.
