Recently Campbell-Sevey joined CenterPoint Energy in handing a $35,061 rebate check to one of our valued customers for the energy saving projects they’ve invested in recently. They documented a remarkable energy efficiency cost savings of 9%! Plus, the projects created a safer, longer lasting system. Here is a brief overview of the recent projects. The facility is used for primary research and development and comprises over half of a million square feet of space. The original facility was built in 1958, with multiple additions constructed over the years. These latest two energy-saving projects involved performing a steam trap survey with follow-up steam trap replacements of failed traps. An insulation survey of the steam piping was then performed and custom removable, reusable insulation blankets were installed on the valves, steam traps, and strainers throughout the facility. Typically, this is equipment that remains uninsulated for the life of a building. One small mechanical room experienced a significant 10 degree drop in temperature. This is a room that was historically quite warm and is now comfortable in which to work. Campbell-Sevey has had a long relationship with the customer to ensure the facility operates at peak efficiency.
