Eaton Corp., Cleveland, has received three contracts totaling $10 million awarded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The contracts will include the retro-commissioning (RCx) of 15 medical campuses with more than 200 buildings and nearly 15.4 million square feet of conditioned space in the VA's Integrated Service Network in New England, New York, New Jersey and the Upper Midwest.
The project will consist of detailed development planning and investigation of the building power systems, heating ventilation and air conditioning, lighting controls, lighting, electrical, hot water, security, fire, life support and safety systems. The RCx team will then identify the most economical facility improvement measures including operational and maintenance improvements that can enhance energy efficiency, improve building performance and help avoid or postpone the need for major equipment replacement.
