Heating and cooling campus buildings is a combined effort that includes the power plant (providing steam in the winter and chilled water in the summer), Western Environmental Systems (WES) Controls (monitoring the automated climate systems), controls mechanics (servicing electrical hardware on-site) and fitters (servicing mechanical hardware on-site).
