UNM Director Named 2006 Energy Management Executive of the Year
UNM's Physical Plant Director Mary Vosevich was recently named 2006 Energy Management Executive of the Year by the New Mexico Association of Energy Engineers (NMAEE). The award is presented for outstanding leadership in promoting the ideals of and providing the resources for energy management and energy projects development.
Jack McGowan, president of Energy Control Inc. and chairman of the Awards Committee said, “Mary Vosevich has made energy efficiency an important element of new projects and initiatives at the University of New Mexico. Award-winning initiatives that Vosevich has supported at UNM include the Retro-commissioning program, the Direct Digital Controls, lighting, and variable frequency drives that would not have been possible without her leadership.”
Vosevich received the award at the joint NMAEE , NM Facility Managers' Network and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) meeting in Albuquerque on September 20.
Mary Kenney, Interim Associate Vice President for Facilities and Real Estate Management said, “Given escalating energy costs, UNM is fortunate to have Mary Vosevich's leadership in energy management systems. Her efforts provide a strong foundation for a sustainable campus."
