在1974/75财年，圣地亚哥加利福尼亚大学（UCSD）的中央公用事业厂消耗了1713亿6000万千卡（680万热）的锅炉燃料。1979/80年，即安装死区控制策略（DBCS）后运行的第一个全年，中央公用事业厂消耗了882亿kcal（350万therms）的锅炉燃料。改造过程始于1976年，一次改造一栋建筑，最终于1979年2月完工。资金是通过加利福尼亚大学资本改善计划获得的，总成本为600000美元。今年避免的成本估计为152万美元。UCSD是加利福尼亚大学九大校区第四大校区，地理上分为3个部分: 主校区、斯克里普斯海洋研究所和医学中心。本文仅涉及UCSD的主要校园部分。主校区位于第二次世界大战海军陆战队马修斯营地，距离太平洋约1英里，圣迭戈市中心以北12英里。在过去的15年里，中央公用设施厂和12栋主要建筑共204387平方米（220万平方英尺）已在该地块上建成。由于UCSD是一个主要的科学和医学研究机构，大多数建筑都有复杂的暖通空调系统。有40多个暖通空调系统，大小从5到150风扇马力（3.7到112千瓦）不等，总制冷量为9000吨（31634千瓦）。大多数建筑都配有气动控制装置，而有些则配有电子控制装置。 引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第87卷，第一部分，伊利诺伊州芝加哥

In fiscal year 1974/75 the central utilities plant at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), consumed 171,360 million kcal (6.8 million therms) of boiler fuel. In 1979/80, the first full year of operation following installation of Dead Band Control Strategy (DBCS), the central utilities plant consumed 88,200 million kcal (3.5 million therms) of boiler fuel. The retrofit process began in 1976 and progressed one building at a time to final completion in February 1979. Funds were made available through the University of California Capital Improvement program for a total cost of $600,000. The cost avoidance this year is estimated at $1,520,000.UCSD is the fourth largest campus of the University of California nine-campus complex, and is geographically separated into 3 parts : the main campus, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the Medical Center. This paper concerns only the main campus portion of UCSD. The main campus, built on the grounds of a World War II Marine Corps Facility known as Camp Matthews, is located about 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean and 12 miles north of downtown San Diego. The central utilities plant and 12 major buildings totaling 204,387 square meters (2,200,000 square feet) have been constructed on this site during the past 15 years.Because UCSD is a major science and medical research institution, most buildings have sophisticated HVAC systems. There are more than 40 HVAC systems ranging in size from 5 to 150 fan hp (3.7 to 112 kW) and a total 9,000 tons of refrigeration (31,634 kW). Most buildings are arranged with pneumatic controls while some have electronic controls.
