This 2,000,000 square foot
hospital complex has been undergoing an energy retrofit for the past two years, with an
estimated construction cost of $9,000,000. Our energy retrofit project within this
larger project has totaled approximately $3,000,000 to date, with the next phase expected
to be released in February 2001, with an estimated construction cost of $2,000,000.
The project
included the addition of variable speed drives to the majority of the fan systems in the
main buildings, the replacement of the corroded cooling coils in the 1,000,000 square foot
facility, the upgrade of the economizer systems, the replacement of the variable pitch
vane-axial fan systems with fixed pitch hubs and variable speed drives to improve the
reliability and energy performance and DDC control system sequences to trim energy waste.
