Case Study: Brookdale Senior Living achieves 6.3% energy savings and improved resident comfort with Resource Innovations

Brookdale’s Senior Living Facilities Reduce Energy Cost And Improve Resident Comfort

Brookdale Senior Living, the largest senior housing provider in the U.S., engaged Resource Innovations to reduce portfolio energy use and improve resident comfort across 82 communities on an aggressive schedule. Resource Innovations delivered retro-commissioning and energy consulting services to audit systems, benchmark facilities, and recommend cost‑effective corrective actions tailored to each site.

Resource Innovations deployed a national team, used a “find and fix” approach for immediate on‑site corrections, and standardized recommendations to speed implementation; all projects were completed within the requested timeframe. The work yielded a 6.3% reduction in total energy use, an overall ECM payback period of 2.4 years (with 60% of projects under a 2‑year simple payback), plus improved comfort, reduced maintenance, and operational benefits for Brookdale Senior Living.
