Case Study: Overton Brooks VA Medical Center achieves major energy savings and infrastructure modernization with Southland Industries

Overton Brooks VA Medical Center cuts energy use 43% with Southland Industries

The Overton Brooks VA Medical Center, a vital healthcare provider for veterans, faced significant infrastructure challenges including a failing central utility plant and outdated, inefficient systems. They partnered with Southland Industries through a utility energy services contract (UESC) to address these issues and achieve comprehensive improvements.

Southland implemented a campus-wide solution, constructing a new central utility plant, upgrading the building automation system, and recommissioning a large solar array. This project reduced the hospital's energy use intensity by 43% and is providing over $1.1 million in annual energy and operational savings, allowing Overton Brooks to better serve its mission.
