cKenney’s monitored, analyzed
and repaired existing mechani-
cal systems in the Allen Plaza
high-rise tower to improve energy efficiency.
THE CHALLENGE
The McKenney’s Retrocommissioning team
conducted extensive system testing and iden-
tified 55 areas for improvement as well as eight
capital improvement projects. Among them,
the team wanted to make adjustments to the
central ventilation system and air handling
control strategy.
THE SOLUTION
The team customized field efforts to evaluate,
fine-tune, and retest systems and document
results. Then, it leveraged the information
to streamline repairs and added control strat-
egies to reduce energy consumption for
the central ventilation system. The team also
revised the control strategies for the main
air handling systems and tested it to ensure
optimal performance.
THE RESULTS
Allen Plaza was certified LEED®
Gold for
Existing Buildings. Recovery of retrocommis-
sioning investments can be achieved on
some projects immediately while others will
take one or two years. Additional capital
improvement investments could save more
than $42,000 annually.
