Last week Joshua Kace presented to a packed room of more than 100 energy professionals at the 29th annual World Energy Engineering Congress in Washington, D.C.
Josh spoke about a case study of a complete energy retrofit and metering solution that CodeGreen’s team implemented at a large commercial office building in NJ. After taking over management of the property, CodeGreen’s client was interested in upgrading the HVAC and other mechanical and lighting systems, which were original to the 1980’s vintage building and were in need of a major overhaul. CodeGreen worked through the NJ Clean Energy program to procure what is expected to be over $500,000 worth of incentive dollars for the $1.8m project. The project included the following major upgrades:
-All fluorescent and incandescent lighting to LED
-Replacement of all package units to more efficient units
-Addition of an Energy Recovery Ventilator with a gas furnace
-New controls sequences designed to work with the ERV to limit the use of electric resistance heating
-Projected to save over $250,000 a year in electricity costs
