Scope: Celtic Energy performed an energy efficiency study of this 18,000 SF historic youth detention facility.

Results: Celtic Energy was challenged to reduce costs and improve the working environment of this historic building originally constructed in the 1950s.

We completed the study and are currently in the design phase for implementing our recommended measures. The recommended measures totaled over $120,000 in construction costs with annual savings of over $15,000. Recommended measures included:

  • Upgrade Fluorescent Lighting
  • Replace Incandescent fixtures with Fluorescents
  • Install Occupancy Sensors
  • Install Photocells for Daylighting
  • Insulate Hot Water Pipes
  • Install Building Automation System
