“Working with Galen
on a mechanical energy audit of one of the University
of Virginia's buildings was an absolute pleasure. He
is a professional who delivers on time and with-in budget.
I am glad we met and anticipate working with him in
the future.”
– Tony Motto,
Heat Plant Manager, University of Virginia
UVA’s chemical engineering
research building is a 25,000 sq.ft. facility housing
research laboratories and faculty and grad student offices.
The University identified the Chemical Engineering building
as an unusually high energy user. The objective of the
study was to check HVAC equipment for energy wasting
operational problems caused by equipment malfunction
or improper design.
Six energy saving measures
were recommended, for a total annual energy cost savings
of $8,600 per year, with a simple payback of 1.4 years.
