Case Study: University of Utah Health Sciences achieves $9M in cost savings and recovered chilled water capacity with McKinstry

University of Utah Health Sciences - Customer Case Study

The University of Utah Health Sciences needed to transform its campus by adding three new buildings without overburdening its existing heating and cooling capacity. They partnered with McKinstry due to the vendor's unique approach to high-performing buildings and its commitment to guaranteeing outcomes for a project spanning 20 buildings.

McKinstry implemented its Active Energy Management and Transition to Sustainable Operations strategies to recover capacity at a central plant and ensure long-term performance. This solution, which included a monitoring dashboard and ongoing maintenance programs, was completed for over $9 million less than the budgeted amount. McKinstry's work successfully reduced the load on existing buildings and provided the university with the critical capacity needed for its expansion.
