· Metering of St. Petersburg Campus Buildings Owned By USF Tampa
Utility meters were installed on five buildings of the St. Petersburg campus which are owned by USF Tampa. Energy consumption reports for these buildings in relation to the rest of the St. Petersburg campus are being developed along with monitoring accuracy of the meters.

· Energy Matrix
The RS Energy Matrix System is now remotely reading some 220 meters (electric, water, hot water, chilled water, etc.) eliminating labor needed to manually read these 220 meters on campus. More meters will be installed as funds are available. Detailed investigation of accuracy of meters allowed us to improve accuracy of the purchased utilities billing system. Error detection methods and systems have been developed for ongoing monitoring of the meter readings and billings. Planning and funding needs to continue to add more meters to the automated data collection system is being developed. Detailed graphic reports from the Energy Matrix are now being developed.
