  • Completed Energy Audit and Heat Recovery Study including review of HVAC
    processes, BAS and control components, development of Energy Conservation
    Measures (ECMs), and performed energy modeling.
  • ECMs included conversion of select laboratories to VAV, recommissioning the control
    system and sequences, and the use of a heat recovery runaround loop and heat
    recovery chiller to achieve $242,000 in annual energy cost savings
  • Designed heat recovery runaround loop to recover energy from existing laboratory
    exhaust system to preheat incoming makeup air
  • Designed heat recovery chiller to repurpose otherwise w
