Core Plus, Remote Medical Office Building Connected to Hospital
The Building
76,000 square foot Medical Office Building connected to a hospital in a relatively isolated area of Idaho. No local service technicians nor on-site facility engineer. Two large air handlers operated by an obsolete control system, only accessible on the premises.
Making matters more challenging, the air handler control system was not integrated with the building management system that monitored and maintained comfort in tenant suites. Comfort issues were frequent and not easily addressed.
The Money
The landlord invested $43k to upgrade their existing building control system. This created $28,000/yr in measured savings.
The first $14k of that was paid as rent - new topline income - to the landlord. Then Carbon Lighthouse kept $5k, and the tenants received the remaining $9k.
Additionally, remote access to the air handlers was established, and tenant comfort inside the suites was significantly improved.

Savings That Stick
Using Act & Protect, the building was able to see clear results.
Additionally, the building prevented $15,000 in wasted energy by resolving faults surfaced by Carbon Lighthouse.
The Result
In total, the building owner invested $43,000 to generate $14,000/yr in rental income, yielding a 33% return on cost while materially improving the building.
Tenants received a net reduction in their expense pool of $9,000, plus a more comfortable & reliable building.
