The facility utilizes energy recovery ventilation systems in conjunction with high-efficiency boilers to provide optimum building conditions. The building systems are monitored and controlled by a Johnson Control automation system tied into DPS’ central building automation system. With the use of the building automation system, BG was able to analyze the instantaneous operation and trend the operation of each piece of equipment, verifying maximum efficiency.
