UPGRADE FOR ALL DOUGLAS CAMPUS COMMUNITY
Staff, students and visitors to Douglas Campus will have noticed three things recently – the large collection of pipes distributed around campus, the trench excavation approaching the Mabo Library from the southern side and the road closure near the School of Engineering last week. These are all part of the Campus District Cooling Project which will make a fundamental change to the production of air-conditioning in all major campus buildings.
An updated newsletter will be available shortly and a separate series of e-mails will be sent to advise where excavation will affect particular portions of campus. At all times, campus users are urged to act safely in the vicinity of excavation work-sites with barricades erected. DO NOT TAKE SHORTCUTS through these areas – there are large trenches and heavy machinery within – barricades are for your protection, not your inconvenience.
When complete, the CDC Project will replace the chiller plants in all major campus buildings with an underground supply of chilled water for production of air-conditioning. External cooling towers and chillers will cease to operate and will eventually be removed as will chiller plant and ice cells in plant rooms, making these spaces available for storage instead. Machinery noise and vibration will fall noticeably although air-circulation fans will still be heard inside buildings. Engineering models predict that the project will reduce the peak campus electrical demand by at least 3-4 megawatts and will save around 12,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
