 OSI PI Project Goals
Provide a platform for students to access the campus energy
consumption and have the ability to create scenarios that reduce
energy and greenhouse gas creation.
Create the ability to combine data from multiple sources into one
common repository to simplify use.
Develop a data archive that can be accessed to provide before and
after evidence of benefits.
Create an opportunity for students to understand energy flows in a
real world environment.

Why does UVM want to use OSI PI?
The software works. Its proven technology.
It is embedded in the Delta V controls in the Central Heating Plant
Its cheaper than replacing all existing controls at UVM into one
common platform
Many configurable displays. limited only by our creativity
Well GET THE FACTS to be able to make informed decisions for:
What is the load
Determining when to turn equipment on/off
Optimize operations
What is the cost of heating or cooling

Managing the power demand kW $

Diagnosing equipment
Individual building operational costs

OSI PI Project Implementation

Install Server, Software, and Port existing controls

Start with Central Plant then roll out to a Honeywell and a Johnson Building

Create conversion table for converting control names from Martian language to English

Collect electrical data Shark meters; Power Logic; and BED Smart Meters

FUNDING FOR PROJECT

Clean Energy Fund $120,000

Physical Plant operating $40,000

Total Project Cost = $160,000

OSI PI Implementation: Where are we now?
The PCs are here
UVM Cloud is available to load software
Software is ready for download
Network being configured
Secret Decoder Ring (database) not yet developed
BED Smart Electric Meters (need more technology to get it
to work properly)
Need to select 2 UVM buildings for beta testing:
1 Honeywell and 1 Johnson Controls building

 Summary
What is it - software
Who else uses it - lots of people, other campuses nationwide
Why does UVM want to use it understand and react
appropriately
