1250 Eye Street is a 12-story, Class B office building located in the East End of Washington, DC. The more than 187,200-square-foot building consists of offices, street-level retail spaces, and an underground garage and was constructed in 1982.
Transwestern began managing 1250 Eye Street in December of 2009 and the current owner has owned the building since May 2006. At that time, 1250 Eye Street was suffering from deferred maintenance and much of the building equipment was original.
Transwestern's
team quickly developed a plan to address the building's equipment
deficiencies. Some of the items included were:
-- Upgrade the
Energy Manage System (EMS) to include additional monitoring and
control points.
--
Replace the cooling tower, including variable frequency drives
(VFDs) on the two fan motors.
Transwestern made it a priority to become familiar with the
design of the building's HVAC plant and the operation of the
EMS. Soon thereafter, they discovered that some equipment was not
operating as designed and other equipment was not even controlled at
all. This presented some unique challenges in providing a
comfortable working environment while at the same time conserving
energy.
The
following are some examples of improvements that the building
ownership has implemented to reduce energy consumption:
-- The EMS was upgraded to include additional monitoring and
control points.
-- A computer preventative maintenance system
is used to schedule, log, and track equipment maintenance and
repairs.
-- The team performs preventative maintenance on each
piece of equipment regularly, making certain filters, coils, and
strainers are clean.
-- A base building lighting list was
created to ensure the installation of energy-efficient light
fixtures for new construction/tenant renovations.
-- A base
building lighting retrofit was performed to replace T12 fixtures
with T8 fixtures.
-- Occupancy
sensors were installed in offices, halls, restrooms, pantries, and
copy/work rooms to turn off lighting during periods of
inactivity.
-- The air distribution systems were inspected to
locate and repair supply ductwork that was not capped and also to
remove obstructions in the return air ceiling plenums.
-- Eight (8) air handler units (3rd, 4th, 10th and 11th floor units) were replaced 2014-2016.
-- 201
VAV units controls were converted from pneumatic to direct digital
controls in 2015-2016.
