ARRMC, a 378-bed referral and trauma center in Medford, Oregon, surpassed its energy savings goals by working with Trane, a brand of Ingersoll Rand. The hospital updated its aging heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system  and added backup to reduce chiller kilowatt use by 150 percent.

Building projects offering business opportunities for HVAC contractors, both residential and commercial, will be available because of these loans in multiple states.

Seven of the awards include funding specifically for HVAC-related projects.

This is the first funding distributed from the players’ pledge through the social justice fund and continues the Ravens’ commitment to making a difference throughout Baltimore.

There are over 5.6 million commercial buildings in the U.S., comprising 87 billion square feet of floor space. Air moving, heating, and cooling systems account for the largest amount of electricity used in these buildings. The industry has made intensive efforts to improve the efficiency and productivity of motors and driven equipment. However, the belt drive connecting these components is critical to achieving maximum efficiencies. Two simple solutions for improved HVAC system performance are the use of energy efficient belts and proper drive installation.

The UAPB energy performance project is the largest of its kind completed under the AEPC Program. Once completed, the project will decrease UAPB's energy consumption by a sizeable 32 percent, making it the first state university to meet the 30 percent energy reduction mandate signed into law by Act 1494 of 2009.
