Case Study: Weill Cornell Medicine achieves faster, cost-effective decarbonization planning with Wendel

Weill Cornell Medicine cuts payback to under 6 years with Wendel

Weill Cornell Medicine engaged Wendel to develop a decarbonization master plan to address the challenge of aligning its sustainability goals with capital investments while ensuring compliance with regulations like Local Law 97. The customer needed a practical roadmap to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and manage funding uncertainty for its campus infrastructure.

Wendel's solution involved identifying a bundle of operational improvements and ready-to-implement projects. This included LED lighting upgrades, control sequence corrections, and maintenance improvements paired with design-ready heat recovery heat pump projects. The implementation created immediate savings and supported compliance, achieving a payback period of under six years. The results also improved air quality, thermal performance, and overall building resilience for the facility.
