The building owner partnered with an energy conservation measures service provider who conducted a comprehensive energy audit of the building. Based on the findings, the provider recommended several upgrades and retrofits to the building’s equipment and systems.

First, the HVAC system was replaced with a state-of-the-art system that uses less energy. The new system is also equipped with sensors that detect occupancy levels and adjust the temperature accordingly. This feature ensures that the building is only heated or cooled when necessary, saving energy and reducing costs.

Second, the lighting system was upgraded to LED lights, which consume less energy and have a longer lifespan. The lights are also equipped with occupancy sensors and dimming capabilities, ensuring that lights are only used when needed and at the appropriate level.

Third, the building’s windows were replaced with double-pane, energy-efficient windows that reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. This upgrade helps to maintain a more consistent indoor temperature and reduces the need for heating and cooling.

Finally, all of these systems were integrated into a smart building technology platform that allows for remote monitoring and control. The platform provides real-time data on energy usage and identifies opportunities for further energy savings.
