McKenney's, Inc. Showcases Energy Efficiency at the 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway Building in Atlanta

Online, December 14, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Wells Real Estate Funds - the owner of the 15-story office building at 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway in Atlanta - is committed to sustainable practices that promote growth. Wells wanted to enhance the original mechanical systems to improve efficiency, and McKenney's, Inc. was chosen to manage the upgrade with a focus on energy and environmental stewardship.

The McKenney's in-house design engineering team developed a comprehensive energy model of the building to analyze and compare multiple upgrade options, including alternative plant configurations and chiller efficiencies.

The solution was to:
* Analyze and compare systems for most cost and energy-efficient solution
* Install new series variable flow CEP
* Implement new web-based digital control systems
* Repurpose condensate for cooling tower makeup water
* Harvest water for irrigation

That property is now recognized as one of the area's flagship models for sustainability and energy efficiency.
