Project Highlights & Results

• 12-Story hotel with conference center, parking garage, health center, outdoor pool,
tennis courts, restaurant
• Elara Energy Audit and Engineering Analysis identified opportunities to improve
HVAC performance and reduce energy consumption
• Due to size, location, and physical constraints of existing boilers in the building’s
basement, boiler conversion from medium to low pressure, burner upgrades and
DA tank modifications were recommended in lieu of replacement
• Conversion required re-educating/refreshing code language to obtain approvals from
local authorities
• Superior energy savings and significantly reduced operating costs due to elimination
of stationary engineers needed to man the high-pressure steam plant 24/7/365
