Description of Campus Utilities
What is centralized distribution?
3
District energy systems produce steam, hot water or chilled water at a central plant. The steam or water is then piped underground to individual buildings for or space heating, domestic hot water heating and air conditioning. As a result, individual buildings served by a district energy system don't need their own boilers or furnaces, chillers or air conditioners. The district energy system does that work for them, providing valuable benefits including:• Improved energy efficiency • Enhanced environmental protection• Fuel flexibility • Ease of operation and maintenance • Reliability • Comfort and convenience for customers • Decreased life-cycle costs • Decreased building capital costs • Improved architectural design flexibility

The total amount spent on NC State utilities in FY 2010 was $32.2 million.
Electricity accounted for 65.9% ($21.2 million) of the total utility costs and provided for 52.3% of the total energy usage.
Natural gas accounted for 22.2% ($7.1 million) of the total utility costs and provided for 43.4% of the total energy usage.
6.9% ($2.2 million) of the total spent was on water supply. The water purchased was used for hygiene, HVAC, irrigation and in research laboratories
