Beyond the Basics: Advanced Energy Efficiency in the MUSH Market

Why Basic Efficiency Measures Are No Longer Enough Most public facilities have already picked the low-hanging fruit of energy savings. Over the past decade, nearly every municipality, campus, and hospital has upgraded to LED lighting and low-flow water fixtures – often spurred by codes and standards (like ASHRAE guidelines and EPA mandates) that have phased […]

Case Study: HVAC Controls Upgrade with Occupancy-Based Sequences and Demand Control Ventilation

Overview This facility improvement measure (FIM) focused on a comprehensive upgrade of building automation and HVAC controls, transitioning from legacy pneumatic systems to a modern, integrated digital platform. The project replaced all existing controls with a SIEMENS system and incorporated a Desigo CC building management system (BMS), designed to work in tandem with Enlighted IoT […]

Case Study: Conversion of Constant Volume Multi-Zone Air Handler to VAV System

Ventilation ducting and air handling units

Overview This facility improvement measure (FIM) focused on upgrading an outdated constant air volume (CAV), multi-zone air handler into a modern, energy-efficient variable air volume (VAV) system. The conversion was designed and implemented through a collaboration between Siemens and Moses Engineering, culminating in a full set of construction drawings and a customized retrofit strategy.
