Conserving Energy One Step at a Time
- 1. M
cKenney’s implemented a
wide range of energy-saving
initiatives for building operating
systems at T3 Labs in Atlanta, Georgia.
THE CHALLENGE
Energy costs for the facility averaged more
than $13 and 684 kBTU per square foot
annually. McKenney’s believed it could
reduce electric, gas and water costs by
implementing sound engineering principles.
THE SOLUTION
The team at McKenney’s initiated projects
incrementally to align building operating
systems with facility requirements. Airflow
was reduced by 30 to 50 percent in many
areas served by the HVAC system, in part
because equipment operating hours were cut
in half. Reset schedules were initiated when
more occupants were in the building and were
recalculated to accommodate more reason-
able temperatures and relative humidity.
Components were repaired or replaced as
needed to resolve building pressurization
issues. The team also added water meters,
harvested condensate water and used bdoc®
Business Intelligence for Buildings to stream-
line retrocommissioning.
THE RESULTS
In the first few months, energy savings have
exceeded 40 percent.
