In 2015 Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) became the first Scottish organisation to implement Dynamic Demand .Air Handling Units throughout the Saltire Centre have been turned into “smart”devices which can adjust their energy use in real-time to help balance electricity supply and demand UK-wide, without any impact on students or staff. GCU has since extended the use of Dynamic Demand to HVAC systems in its health and fitness facility, Centre of Executive Education and its William Harley building. Collectively, these buildings are providing around 200kw of flexible capacity,helping to cut GCU’s costs and support the UK’s transition to a more decentralised,low carbon future.
