A tour of the State of Michigan Secondary Complex Energy Center with a Q & A session afterword. 

The State of Michigan Secondary Complex in Dimondale is a 13-building campus comprised of the state's police academy, police post, test and research labs, office space, warehouses, vehicle maintenance service garages and more. The facility's original energy center was constructed in 1975 and featured electric chillers and gas-fired boilers. Since the original installation of the energy center, buildings within the complex have undergone renovations, additions and changes in functions, greatly improving the efficiency of heating and cooling operations. Energy consumption used for heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) was identified as a significant part of the complex's operating budget.

This Gemba Walk through the Energy Center shows the results of the 2012 renovation and includes a Q&A session with facility supervisor, Scott Davis. Don’t miss this opportunity!
