Case 4

Case Study 4: Corporate Office Renovation

Client

A mid-sized corporate office building (50,000 square feet) in New York City.

Project

Full renovation of the HVAC, lighting, and building envelope (insulation, windows).

Details

The office was built in the 1990s and was not energy efficient.
The renovation involved replacing the HVAC systems with energy-efficient units, installing LED lighting throughout the office, and upgrading windows and insulation to improve thermal efficiency.
The new systems improved energy performance by 25% over the baseline (using ASHRAE 90.1 standards).

Outcome

The store achieved a 25% improvement in energy performance relative to the baseline established by ASHRAE 90.1 standards.
The company claimed a $75,000 179D deduction for the new store, resulting in tax savings and operational cost reductions.
The store was promoted as a "green" facility, attracting eco-conscious customers.
