Core, Medical Office Building
The Building
A 121,000 square foot building in New Jersey. Modern construction with new equipment. 7 large RTUs and a new building management system provide cooling for the building.
The Money
The building management system suggested the equipment was running fine. The site team, however, struggled with competing tenant demands and data sourced by Carbon Lighthouse showed some of the systems were running 24/7 despite what the front end of the BMS showed (this is common and we see it in 91% of buildings).
The landlord invested $65k to upgrade their existing building control system. This created $98,000/yr in measured savings.
The first $49k of that was paid as rent - new topline income - to the landlord. Then Carbon Lighthouse kept $10k, and the tenants received the remaining $39k.
Savings That Stick
Using Act & Protect, the building was able to achieve significant energy reductions.
A total of 8 faults were identified and resolved, preventing a material rise in energy usage.
The Result
In total, the building owner invested $65,000 to generate $49,000/yr in rental income, yielding a 75% return on cost. Tenants received a net reduction in their expense pool of $39,000, as well as a more comfortable & efficient building.
