Installation of the Steamgard system resulted in the elimination of more than 1,100 mechanical steam traps; the University decreased its total steam load by 5.5 percent, which helped generate a project payback of less than 36 months.
In recognition of its energy saving achievements, the University was:
- Honored by the Association of Energy Engineers with the Corporate Energy Management of the Year Award & Energy Manager of the Year Award for 2001
- Featured in United States Department of Energy 2004 Building Codes Work Shop for new innovative energy savings technology project tour
