The skylights are separately monitored by type to review and compare energy performance. The natural lighting is coordinated with the artificial lighting via a dimming system. Artificial lighting utilizes energy- efficient fluorescent lighting and electronic ballast with octron lamps dimming. The HVAC system is integrated with CO2 sensors for maximum efficiency and bottom line energy savings. The inherent nature of repetitive building programs allows unique opportunities to improve the bottom line by improving the process.
Green projects are no exception.
The bids came in below projected costs. The skylights were separately monitored. However, BSW does not have the utility costs or energy monitoring information. It is anticipated that electric cars will become a common feature in states with clean air initiatives such as California. Systematic review of the green features had been planned, but was not implemented.
