Efficiency Improvements
Facilities & Energy Services has identified opportunities for improved efficiency and sustainability by implementing technical energy system solutions, with occupant engagement and participation, to improve facility operating efficiency and reduce energy consumption and cost.
Efficiency Improvement Impacts
Facilities & Energy Services has led Texas A&M’s campus-wide efforts to reduce energy and water consumption, achieving a measurable decline in energy use per gross square foot.
Water Efficiency
The Texas A&M campus has embraced low flow and water conserving plumbing features, installed efficient irrigation systems and more efficiently managed the water use of the production facilities by closely managing the blowdown from cooling towers.
Energy Efficiency
Facilities & Energy Services produce electricity to serve a significant portion of the campus power needs and steam for heating and cooling of campus facilities. The Combined Heat and Power system efficiency is 70% or greater and significantly improves the overall operating efficiency, reliability and emissions profile of Texas A&M.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Through strategic conservation, operational efficiency, and service optimization, Facilities & Energy Services has achieved a 45% reduction in total energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, elevated campus recycling rates to 65%, and delivered $285 million in cumulative cost avoidance.
Solar Power
Utilities & Energy Services utilizes solar power as a renewable power source, which provides more than 20% of the campus’s energy consumption from clean, renewable power.
Recycling Services
Learn about recycling guidelines, campus recycling locations, and contact information to schedule recycling services.
State Reporting
The State Reporting page serves as a central hub for Texas A&M’s required Facilities & Energy Services reports — including mandated disclosures for environmental, energy, water, and utility usage to ensure compliance with state regulations.
