Case 2

Case Study 2: Medical Facility Energy Upgrade

Client

A healthcare facility with a 75,000-square-foot hospital in California.

Project

Retrofit of HVAC, lighting, and control systems to improve energy efficiency.

Details

The building was energy-intensive due to 24/7 operations, but outdated HVAC systems were inefficient, and lighting was predominantly fluorescent.
The project involved installing new high-efficiency HVAC units, upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting, and integrating building automation systems to control energy use based on occupancy and demand.

Outcome

After the energy upgrades, the hospital reduced energy consumption by 30%.
The healthcare provider claimed a $180,000 deduction under Section 179D.
Reduced energy costs and improved sustainability ratings contributed to better public perception and long-term savings.
