Scope Of Work
Ecosave’s investment in energy efficiency and equipment upgrades has resulted in significant capital cost avoidance and 52% energy savings for Constitution Health Plaza, a multi-purpose medical campus in Philadelphia, PA.
Ecosave was asked to provide holistic and all-encompassing solutions to improve efficiency as well as address maintenance, comfort and reliability issues.
Ecosave developed a fully-funded energy savings project that addressed these issues while not requiring any capital outlay or debt from the client. A substantial reduction in annual operating expenses funds the great majority of Ecosave’s service fee.
These upgrades were carried out with patients in the building 24/7 without affecting services at this medical facility.
The solutions implemented at Constitution Health Plaza:
New state of the art campus wide Building Automation System (BAS)
Installation of 2 new magnetic bearing ultra-efficient chillers and associated pump equipment
Conversion of campus from steam to hot water with 2 new ultra-efficient boilers and new heating hot water system replacing a 5 year old steam boiler and old steam system
Installation of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on pumps and fans to optimize operation
Pumping Optimization
Replacement and consolidation of 9 air handling units (AHUs) with 6 energy efficient AHUs
Whole building LED lighting upgrade
Provide Utility Management Services (UMS) through Ecosave Watch for the duration of the Services Period
