April 2008 GEI honored for its McGaugh Hall HVAC Retrofit project The Best Practice Awards highlight successful and cost-effective projects on UC and CSU campuses that implement green building technologies, sustainable design strategies, and energy-efficient operations. The awards are presented each summer at the annual UC/CSU/CCC Sustainability Conference. The Best Practice case studies showcase each award-winning project, making the strategies and achievements available as an educational tool to assist all campuses in achieving energy-efficiency and sustainability goals. The Best Practice Awards are funded by the UC/CSU/IOU Energy Efficiency Partnership Program, a state-wide partnership between the UC and CSU campuses and California’s four large investor- owned utilities. The program’s goals include accomplishing immediate and long-term peak energy and demand savings, and establishing a permanent framework for comprehensive energy management programs at the campuses.
March 2008 GEI selected to conduct major utility master plan for The project is scheduled to begin this summer and includes a complete analysis of the existing energy systems and building loads; an infrastructure assessment to ensure the support of future growth and energy needs; and development of a full utility master plan. Additional services will include the evaluation of current chilled water system and expansion; conversion of the existing steam distribution system; central plant expansion alternatives including thermal energy storage (TES); energy and systems cost analysis; and construction management. “We are looking forward to developing a utility master plan for the Church of Latter Day Saints. It will be essential to develop a plan and system that will not only meet their current energy needs but one that will also support their future growth. GEI is pleased to have the opportunity to be involved in this important project and are excited to see the church’s interest in developing a solution that not only reduces operating costs but also supports the environment,” Lucas B. Hyman, President of Goss Engineering said.
March 2008 GEI selected to design major laboratory retrofit The project was awarded by the UC Irvine Facilities department in March 2008 and is scheduled to begin immediately. The project will provide a complete retrofit of the Engineering Tower Buildings laboratory facilities. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 3 phases. Phase 1 includes HVAC Modifications. Phase 2 includes the conversion of dry laboratories to wet laboratories. Phase 3 includes air-handling audits and unit replacement. Additional services GEI will provide include fume hood exhaust retrofit, HVAC retrofit, and laboratory design services.
December 2007 Loma Linda University Central Plant Retrofit begins operations The project included a complete assessment of current facilities and systems to determine Loma Linda University’s specific needs. Additional services included Centrifugal and Absorption Chiller replacement, distribution pump retrofit, and CHW distribution pipe modifications. “We take pride in our work and ensure the services we provide support our clients objectives. We know how important it is to maintain costs and create a system that is environmentally and economically sustainable. The retrofit we completed for Loma Linda University provided a complete retrofit, meeting both economic and environmental goals.” Lucas B. Hyman, President of Goss Engineering said.
