Design Vignette
The Urbana U.S. Courthouse was selected for retro-commissioning, performed by Bailey Edward, due to high energy usage per square foot compared to other GSA buildings in Illinois and Indiana. The building systems covered included evaluation and performance of the building automation and energy management system and identifying energy conservation, water conservation and renewable energy opportunities. Our study outlined a 20% increase in energy efficiency. This was the first submitted ARRA Retro-Commissioning report in the Midwest region.
