CASE STUDY

Outpatient Health Center

( Part 2 )

The 258,000 square foot, nine-story Outpatient Health Center was about six years old. Operations were stable but never achieved the targeted energy utilization index (EUI) expected in the design process. IDS conducted an operational analysis of the facility and identified a major change from design in how the building was used, unaddressed maintenance issues, and significant potential for energy savings. As is common for buildings like this, the majority of the issues were with the building’s automation software.
