McKenney’s implemented a broad-based energy-savings initiative at an educational institution in suburban Georgia.

1. M
cKenney’s implemented a
broad-based energy-savings
initiative at an educational insti-
tution in suburban Georgia. The retrofit focused
on four of the university’s largest buildings.
THE CHALLENGE
The McKenney’s team upgraded lighting in
two gymnasiums, replaced 16 HVAC systems,
added four air-side economizers, and
designed and installed a Tridium®
NiagaraAX
web-based control system to integrate with
an existing Siemens®
control system. Much
of the work took place in less than a month,
resulting in a compressed schedule. Financing
options were provided but the university opted
for self-funding.
THE SOLUTION
To meet the timeline, McKenney’s pre-planned
the entire project and prefabricated compo-
nents for the HVAC installation. Materials and
equipment were also staged on-site to save
time. The web-based controls included
McKenney’s bdoc®
ValidateTM
online energy
management application to measure energy
cost, consumption and carbon footprint.
THE RESULTS
The retrofit, installation and controls implemen-
tation were completed on time and on budget.
Going forward, the university will be able to
track its energy savings through bdoc Validate.
