EMCOR SERVICES AIR SYSTEMS AWARDED 2008 PROJECT OF THE YEAR
-- Sustainable Project for Network Appliance Inc. Recognized By Automated Logic Corporation --
San Jose, CA, June 23, 2008 — EMCOR Services Air Systems’ energy efficiency retrofit of a data center on the corporate campus of Network Appliance Inc. (NetApp) in Sunnyvale, California has received the coveted 2008 Project of the Year designation from Automated Logic Corporation, a developer of building automation and control solutions.
A leading mechanical/electrical/piping contractor in Northern California, Air Systems is a wholly owned subsidiary of EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses.
“This recognition is testament to our ability to execute highly complex and demanding energy efficiency projects,” commented Art Williams, President of Air Systems. “Numerous high profile projects from around the country were considered for this award; we are greatly honored that our work for the Network Appliance data center was selected as the best example of automated control applications.”
An Air Systems customer since 2003, NetApp occupies over one million square feet of space in an eight building corporate campus in Sunnyvale. The company, which manufactures high-end data server storage devices, asked Air Systems to help it develop a pilot project with sustainability and energy efficiency standards that could eventually be used for the entire complex.
Following a comprehensive analysis of the building systems in the NetApp data center, Air Systems implemented a series of solutions that would enhance sustainability and create energy efficiencies. These included use of wireless temperature sensors to better monitor the data center cooling equipment, reprogramming and re-commissioning of the facility’s economizers for more aggressive operation, and phasing out of the cogeneration equipment for the complex, which was determined to be of minimal benefit.
“The entire process was carried out without disruption to the critical ongoing operations of the NetApp data center,” noted Mr. Williams. “In the final analysis, the retrofit measures will result in a 22 percent decrease in load for the data center and approximately $134,000 in annual savings. We are now in the process of determining how these pilot measures can be incorporated in other buildings in keeping with NetApp’s corporate commitment to sustainability.”
