EnergyWitness™: Hospital Case Study

This case study provides a close-up view of the first six months of using EnergyWitness™—from installation and initial data collection to discovering, fixing, and validating a variety of issues. It takes place at a large hospital in the southern U.S., and addresses operational problems, comfort, and engineering design. There are inefficiencies found throughout the system, including the chiller plant, distribution system, air handlers, and terminal boxes. In all, we’ll see more than $265,000 of annual cost savings quantified and verified through the data, as summarized in this table.

Item Cost Savings 
Chiller plant operations and control issues $39,800 
Underutilized low-cost chiller $82,900 
Reduced chiller efficiency $38,500 
Reduced primary pumping efficiency $22,700 
Reduced secondary pumping efficiency $81,900 
Total $265,800
