222 East 41st Street is a 25-story, Class-A office building located in New York, NY. The building, constructed in 2001, is managed and owned by Columbia Property Trust, a national purchaser and manager of Class-A office buildings across the U.S.

The building utilizes an Alerton BacNet Energy Management System to control both common area and tenant environments.  HVAC cooling is achieved with 32 R-22 McQuay air handling units (AHUs), with a single AHU dedicated for each elevation and two single zone split units. All three AHUs are connected to three cooling towers through a condensing water loop that is governed by centrifugal fans connected to variable fan drives (VFDs).  Low pressure steam is used for primary heating; the steam is passed through shell and tube heat exchangers in which water from the building loop is heated to a set point based on outside air conditions.  The hot water supply is fed to fan-powered boxes through a two-pipe system with two-way valves, and circulated through two pumps equipped with VFDs. The pumps operate on a lead/lag configuration.

Energy efficiency has been achieved through diligent oversight by building staff, as well as the implementation of energy efficiency projects which include:

-- The installation of an On-Demand system that allows tenants to request overtime HVAC service from the lobby security desk.  A service request is input for a prescribed amount of time to a specific floor plate and communicates directly with the BMS system.  This system has eliminated the need for OT requests for a block of space for an extended period of time and has saved a considerable amount of energy.  
-- The installation of LED lighting in all elevators.
-- The installation of motion-sensors in all common area lighting.
