Missouri University of Science and Technology improves HVAC visibility across campus facilities

Missouri University of Science and Technology operates more than 100 buildings. Approximately 50 campus facilities are connected through a chilled water loop system and geothermal plant, creating an interconnected infrastructure where the performance of a single chiller can influence operations across multiple buildings.

When it became necessary to replace a chiller in the electrical engineering building, the university sought a solution that would provide near real-time HVAC performance insights, improve operational visibility, and help the facilities team maximize resources while maintaining a comfortable environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

Because the building's HVAC system is connected to a broader campus network, reliable chiller operation plays an important role in supporting campus-wide activities and day-today operations.

To gain deeper visibility into HVAC system performance, Missouri University of Science and Technology partnered with Johnson Controls to install a YORK® Connected Chiller and integrate it with the campus chilled water loop system, geothermal plant, and Metasys Building Automation System.

The connected solution provides near real-time monitoring and reporting, allowing the facilities team to track asset health, identify potential issues earlier, and make more informed operational decisions. By connecting critical HVAC infrastructure through a university building automation system, facilities personnel have access to the information they need to manage campus operations more effectively.

To support long-term performance and reliability, the university also entered into a fiveyear service agreement that includes monthly checkups and annual maintenance. Combined with connected services and expert support, the agreement helps the facilities team manage HVAC infrastructure that serves multiple campus facilities.

With access to near real-time performance insights, Missouri University of Science and Technology can monitor chiller health from virtually anywhere and respond more effectively to operational needs.

Enhanced HVAC visibility helps the facilities team optimize campus operations, improve staff efficiency, and support long-term performance objectives. Access to connected monitoring and reporting provides greater insight into the condition and operation of critical HVAC assets, helping staff make timely, informed decisions.

Because the electrical engineering building's HVAC system is connected to approximately 50 campus facilities and the campus geothermal plant, reliable chiller performance supports broader university operations. Through its partnership with Johnson Controls, Missouri S&T has expanded access to connected services, data-driven insights, and HVAC expertise that help support uptime across its interconnected campus infrastructure.
