About Project

NTCC has been focused on maintaining their HVAC equipment so they get the maximum up-time, efficiency, and maximum life span.  To accomplish this, we have invested a significant amount of money into the proper repair of broken equipment, scheduling the conditioning of spaces to align with their usage and the proper preventative maintenance.  One of the easy measurements to track is the amount of energy they use and the amount they spend for that energy (demand charges have been significantly reduced because of proper scheduling).

Year –to-date (September 2018 – March 2019) the main campus has used 19% less electricity than it did during the same period last year.  This reduction has resulted in a savings of $34,843.69 over last year for the same period.  Looking over the past four year’s usage, we have used approximately half of what we will use during the entire fiscal year so I am projecting a savings of over $70,000 this year.

While proper preventive maintenance isn’t cheap, it pays.

PROJECT UPDATE - MARCH 2020

NTCC has acquired significant savings since implementing a controls system, repairing equipment, obtaining a Connected Building Services Agreement, and incorporating a comprehensive Preventive Maintenance plan with Storer Services. By scheduling the conditioning of spaces to align with their usage, and maintaining a PM, ensures the best performance and efficiency for their equipment.

“The saving trends continue even before the campus shuts down in March 2020. The upgrades to the chillers, aligning our usage with the needs of the campus community, staging equipment start-ups, and aggressive attention to filter changes and coil cleaning has yielded consistent savings.”  NTCC Administration

Fiscal YTD through the February billing we are $21,626 (11%) less than last year and $56,470 (30%)  less than 2017/2018
