Case Study: Peirce College achieves fully funded HVAC upgrades with Southland Industries

Peirce College saves $20,000+ with Southland Industries HVAC upgrades

Peirce College, a higher education institution in Philadelphia, faced the challenge of prioritizing HVAC replacements and upgrades for its aging equipment within its capital budget. Southland Industries, a long-time service provider, assisted by using energy modeling to develop a prioritized plan based on equipment condition and lifecycle cost.

Southland Industries implemented a design-build retrofit project that included a boiler plant upgrade, heat pump replacements, and a new building automation system. The solution was completely funded by the energy cost-savings it created. The project was completed on time and on budget with no change orders, and Southland secured over $20,000 in utility rebates for the college while providing ongoing energy monitoring to ensure results.
