Building Automation Alliance Firms Complete Facility Upgrades for Florida Hospitals
BAS, Energy Efficiency Expertise Results in Comfort, Savings for Health Care Providers
SANFORD, Fla. — InsideIQ Building Automation Alliance member firms MC2 and CM3 have completed building automation system (BAS) and energy efficiency projects for two Florida Hospitals. Both firms are experienced providers of automation and energy management systems for a variety of commercial buildings, including health care facilities. InsideIQ is an international alliance of independent building automation contractors who share industry best practices and use industry leading technology.
MC2, based in Sanford, Florida, is a leading BAS provider in the state with more than 20 years of field experience in building automation and energy management systems. The Villages Regional Hospital (TVRH) located in central Florida in The Villages, one of the largest retirement developments in the United States, serves patients in Lake, Sumter, and Marion Counties and is a longstanding MC2 customer. The hospital opened in 2002 as a 60-bed facility and expanded in 2007 to become a 198-bed facility. MC2 provided and installed the HVAC energy management system for both phases of the hospital’s construction and has continued to service the hospital during additional expansions and rebuilds as well as assisting with system upgrades and repairs. Discussions about establishing an energy baseline and improving energy efficiency began in 2009 and finally concluded in 2011 with the decision to implement a large scale energy project that would yield a guaranteed savings.
