Graham Building Project Scope

25 Story Office Building built in 1985 located in downtown Philadelphia across from city hall – Theproject consisted of introducing free-cooling to an existing fresh air chase to greatly reducemechanical cooling costs in the winter. The building has a perimeter heating system with very littleautomated control which overheated tenant spaces. Rich Energy Solutions installed 6 large 6’x 8’louvers in the fresh air chase to greatly reduce the electrical consumption in the winter time.Installed two new modular Camus 2,000,000 BTU condensing boilers to modulate the boiler waterbased on outside air temperature to reduce overheating. New premium efficiency motors for thecondenser and hot water heating pumps with variable frequency drives will provide capacity basedon demand.

A complete LED Lighting retrofit of the building was performed utilizing more than 5000 the newPhilips InstantFit LED T8 lamps. Significantly reducing energy costs while greatly improving the

quality of light and comfort of the tenants. Retro-commissioning of the building HVAC systemsintegrated the two existing Building Management Systems with a Tridium overlay into one newgraphic user interface allowing for easy scheduling, setbacks and the collection of trend data.

Rich Energy Solutions developed an detailed property roster of their facilities and aggregated thepurchase deregulated energy for all of their facilities saving AtlantiCare over 15% on their utility costs.

Rich Energy Solutions has performed several energy retrofits over the past 10 years for Atlanticare:

1. Kessler Hospital, Hammonton, NJ – RES working with Atlanticare management developed aconcept to separate an entire two floor patient wing with emergency room in a fully operatinghospital from the central steam boiler and chiller plant when the main campus facilities wereclosing. RES designed and installed a Hydrotherm condensing boiler plant to replace steam hotwater heat exchanger, a McQuay high efficiency chiller to displace the steam absorber chiller, newhigh efficiency gas domestic hot water and retrofitted the existing lighting in the facility.

2. Healthplex, Atlantic city, NJ – RES replaced the original packaged rooftop units with hot waterheating coils feed from an inefficient boiler plan. Engineered and installed new state of the artMcQuay packaged rooftop units and building management controls. These new units requiredintricate steel framing around the main lobby atrium and existing screen walls on the roof. Theoperating efficiency of the new equipment combined with the control upgrade reduced theoperating expense by over 20% and fixed a problem that existed for 10 years. This upgrade allowedthe antiquated boilers to be reduced in size and replaced with modular condensing boilers thefollowing year.

The building is now outfitted with two2,000,000 BTU Camus condensing boilers forheating and two 2,000,000 BTU Camuscondensing water heaters for domestic hotwater. These units are over 95% efficientand modulate down to 400,000 BTU whendemand is low. The domestic hot waterstorage has been reduced by over 50%because these units provide nearlyinstantaneous hot water when needed. AYork state-of-the-art 400 ton chiller and BACcooling tower with VFD’s were installed forair conditioning. A common area and BOHLED lighting retrofit was performed and newhigh efficiency rooftop HVAC units wereinstalled for the resident hallways.
