PALATINE, IL — According to Square D/Schneider Electric, its PUMP-Pak® pump controls played a key role in a retrofit project that earned the American Center office tower in Southfield, MI, an Energy Star Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The equipment was part of a retrofit completed by Trane Commercial Systems, an OEM customer of Square D/Schneider Electric. Under the Performance Agreement for Comfort from Trane (PACT™) program, Trane completed $3.2 million in capital improvements that the company says will produce annual savings of $621,000 for the building's owners, cut their electric bill by one-third, and improve tenant comfort.
