REG was retained as prime consultant for Phase 1 of the project which involved replacement of existing cooling towers, upgrades to the Power Plant roof and the incorporation of shoulder season free cooling system into the cooling plant. The primary goal of our engagement was to increase the energy efficiency of the existing cooling plant by allowing campus cooling to be available at any time of the year without any interruption or disconnecting the system.  After reviewing the cooling system operation and sequences our team re-designed the existing cooling plant by reusing two existing chillers and replacing the remaining associated equipment’s with more energy efficient and year around units. The completed Phase 1 design allowed the MRU team to operate the cooling system at any time of the year and under various conditions and loads with minimum energy use.

In July 2020, REG and SMP Engineering started Phase 2 of the project, which involved replacement of existing emergency transfer switch, upgrade to existing dampers/ ventilation/ heating system associated with existing generator and upgrade the existing fuel system associated with Generator system. This phase was completed in early 2021.
