Enhancing Sustainability and Profitability: Implementing Energy Conservation Measures with MSD Energy Services

In today’s world, businesses are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of energy conservation and sustainability. With rising energy costs and growing environmental concerns, companies are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint while improving their bottom line. MSD Energy Services offers a comprehensive approach to energy conservation measure implementation, assisting businesses in assessing their energy consumption and developing effective strategies for cost savings, sustainability, and environmental protection.

Identifying the Energy Consuming Culprits

In most commercial buildings, heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting systems are major energy consumers. Even small efficiency gains in these areas can lead to significant operational cost savings. MSD’s three-tiered, client-centric approach starts with Targeted Modernization & Optimization (TM&O), which involves identifying inefficient systems and equipment, along with operational issues causing high energy demand and increased maintenance costs.

By conducting a thorough analysis of energy data and utility information, MSD develops appropriate energy conservation measures (ECMs) to eliminate waste and improve energy efficiency. These ECMs serve as the foundation for a high-level project scope, budgetary cost, and return on investment (ROI) calculations for each proposed measure. The result is a comprehensive report outlining the financial and environmental impact of each measure, which is then reviewed with stakeholders.

Turning Plans into Reality

After selecting the most viable Energy Conservation Measures that align with financial thresholds, MSD helps businesses transition from conceptual savings to tangible results. The Energy Services Team collaborates with clients to provide firm, fixed quotes for engineering, designing, and installing HVAC, Building Automation, Electrical, and Lighting systems. This proactive approach ensures that the promised operational savings are achieved within the agreed timelines and budget.

To ensure accountability and transparency, MSD measures and verifies post-project energy savings against the initial estimates presented in the TM&O report. This practice ensures that the proposed energy conservation measures are delivering the expected results and benefits.

Sustaining Savings through Customized Maintenance Programs

A successful energy conservation initiative doesn’t end with the implementation of measures. Proper planned maintenance is crucial to sustain the savings achieved. Without regular upkeep, systems may degrade over time, leading to increased energy consumption and reduced efficiency. MSD’s Customized Maintenance Programs offer routine evaluation and system performance assessments, helping facilities maintain peak efficiency while extending the lifespan of their investments.

These flexible programs are executed by highly skilled mechanical, electrical, and building automation system technicians, tailored to fit each client’s specific needs and budget. By integrating regular maintenance into the energy conservation strategy, businesses can continuously benefit from reduced utility spend and optimized operations.

Unlocking Profit Potential

Energy costs account for approximately 30 percent of a facility’s operating budget, with HVAC and lighting systems being the primary culprits. By increasing the efficiency of these systems, businesses can substantially reduce their utility expenses, prolong equipment life, and ultimately boost net profits.

Through meticulous evaluation of a facility’s systems, equipment, operations, and energy usage data, MSD Energy Services helps businesses determine the best solutions to enhance their bottom line. With MSD as a dedicated partner, businesses receive expert guidance and support to implement energy conservation measures that align with their values, improve their financial position, and demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship.

WPAFB Sensors Lab

Wright-Patt Air Force Base sought contractors to renovate and add onto the Sensors Lab. The HVAC portion of the project was over $13 million.

  • MSD served as the Design Assist Contractor in conjunction with Heapy Engineering for this project. In collaborating with General Contractor, Butt Construction, MSD provided Design Assist solutions for the following:
    • A large, anechoic chamber
    • An outdoor range
    • Multiple, Class-100 clean rooms
    • A three-story office building addition with DCID 6-9 requirements on many of the rooms

WPAFB Chilled Water System

The chilled water system at a high-security building on the Air Force Base was undersized and unable to keep up with demand. The facility could not operate without chilled water due to the amount of information servers in the building, and the general nature of the building itself. The entire upgrade project would need to be completed with minimal shut down time at the building. HVAC portion of this project was over $3 million.

  • MSD worked in collaboration with Diaz Construction to complete the system upgrades on time and on budget with minimal shutdowns or disruption to the facility operations.

LJB, Inc.

LJB, Inc. was renovating their Miamisburg, OH office and wanted to incorporate energy-saving upgrades.

  • MSD provided Design Build services in tandem with Greensleeves Energy Solutions, a specialist in geothermal systems.
  • MSD and Greensleeves installed a new geothermal HVAC system with open and closed loops. In addition, MSD design and installed the plumbing portion of the renovation.
