Farnsworth was selected to provide retro-commissioning services to identify various opportunities for energy and demand savings and associated cost savings in dollars. Farnsworth interviewed building O&M staff, performed field inspections, observed maintenance accessibility, measured flows and temperatures in air and water systems, and documented deficiencies and issues. As a result of the retro-commissioning services provided, Farnsworth identified four major categories of energy-saving opportunities and maintenance recommendations. The project is pursuing a LEED Certified level.
