cKenney’s helped T3 Labs
reduce energy consumption
and operating costs at its
facility in Atlanta, Georgia.
THE CHALLENGE
Energy costs for the building were a drain
on the operating budget. Limited cash flow
meant funding was not available for energy
conservation initiatives.
THE SOLUTION
McKenney’s introduced a performance
contract—it had to prove monthly operating
cost savings before billing for work. ­McKenney’s
financed the initiatives, which would only
be repaid if objectives were met. The team
created a model of the building’s energy
systems along with a benchmark to compare
past and future utility consumption using
bdoc®
ValidateTM
, a utility dashboarding tool.
Then, modifications were made to equipment
and controls to reduce energy consumption.
THE RESULTS
The facility is on track to reduce utility costs
from more than $13 per square foot to less
than $9. The institute has saved over 40 per-
cent on utility bills in the first eight months.
It’s expected to save nearly $200,000 annu-
ally and more than $1,200,000 over the life
of the performance contract.
