McKenney's, Inc. showcases energy efficiency at the 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway building in Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia (I-Newswire) December 14, 2012 - 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.
