Birmingham, Alabama

The University of Alabama School of Medicine resolved to pursue a campus energy usage reduction study. As part of the audit, we analyzed the following projects:

• HVAC conversion to VAV
• Airflow Reductions             
• Temperature Setback
• Unoccupied Airflow Setbacks
• Heat Recovery Chillers
• Lighting Retrofit and Contents
• Fume Hood Airflow Reductions

Projects were identified such that when implemented will result in energy savings for UAB with a 1.8 year payback. Additionally we assisted UAB in setting sustainable design guidelines for future laboratory projects.
