This 36,000 square foot Senior Housing Project will provide 34 new senior apartments with a community room, community garden, activity room, kitchenette, and staff offices. Completion date: Spring 2006.
Purdue University
For two residence halls, Design-Aire Engineering conducted initial investigations that led to mechanical system upgrades. In Harrison Hall, the mechanical system was replaced for the entire building, including interface with campus chillwater and energy management systems. At Hawkins Hall, an indoor air quality survey and mechanical system serviceability evaluation led to HVAC system replacement design.
Morton Mansion Apartments
Morton Mansion Apartments, located in Bloomington, Indiana, will be constructed in multiple phases. The first phase is a 31,200 square foot, 16 apartment units. The design includes high efficiency air-to-air heat pumps with auxiliary electric heat, high efficient plumbing fixtures, and compact fluorescent lighting.
Stork Place Apartments
Stork Place Apartments, located in Huntingburg Indiana, is a 28,894 square-foot, three-story apartment building, that includes (17) 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. The MEP systems for this facility include a 50 ton Ground Source Geothermal Heat Pump System, involving vertical well heat sinks and electric auxiliary heat, low flow plumbing fixtures, and high efficiency LED and fluorescent lighting. Also included was a full building backup electric generator for critical systems operation.
Wabash County Hospital
An energy audit of the Wabash County Hospital facility in September, 2005 identified six energy conservation measures. DAE recommended adding variable speed drives to air handler unit, elevator and domestic hot water pump motors, window replacements, and night setback. The energy cost payback and return on investment to implement these measures are 7.8 years and 12.8%, respectively, which will result in a 6.9% reduction in energy costs.
St. Francis Hospital and Health
An energy audit of the St. Francis Hospital facility in May, 2004 identified three energy conservation measures. DAE recommended increasing heat exchanger capacity, a small boiler, and upgrading T12 with T8 fluorescent lamps and ballasts. The energy cost payback and return on investment to implement these measures are 3.7 years and 27.0%, respectively, which will result in a 13.5% reduction in energy costs.
Methodist Medical South OPC
An energy audit of the Methodist Medical South facility in March, 2004 identified six energy conservation measures. DAE recommended shutdown of select exhaust fans, modifying boiler operating schedule, upgrading incandescent with compact fluorescent light bulbs, changing constant volume to variable air volume system, occupancy sensors in select rooms, and power factor correction. The energy cost payback and return on investment to implement these measures are 2.6 years and 38.5%, respectively, which will result in a 28.3% reduction in energy costs.
Visiting Nurse Association (VNA)
An energy audit of the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) Hospice Center in July, 2003 identified an energy conservation measure consisting of an upgrade of the existing temperature control system with a direct digital temperature control system. The energy cost payback and return on investment to implement these measures are 1.9 years and 52.6%, respectively, which will result in a 32.2% reduction in energy costs.
Pulaski Memorial Hospital
An energy audit of the Pulaski Memorial Hospital facility identified eight energy conservation measures. DAE recommended occupancy sensors to control exhaust fans and lighting, night setback, power factor correction, vending machine setback timers, upgrading exit lights, pumpless condensate units, and adding variable speed drives. The energy cost payback and return on investment to implement these measures are 2.17 years and 46.2%, respectively, which will result in an 8.0% reduction in energy costs.
Hancock County Memorial Hospital
An energy audit of the Hancock County Memorial Hospital facility in December, 2005 identified five energy conservation measures. DAE recommended switching to a different electricity rate, night setback in unoccupied areas, vending machine setback timers, pumpless condensate units, and adding an economizer to the air handler unit. The energy cost payback and return on investment to implement these measures are 2.17 years and 46.2%, respectively, which will result in an 8.0% reduction in energy costs.
